What our clients say about us

Glen Valentine
PR, Indonesia - Remote West Papuan Islands Cruise II 2025

Well, what can I say ! The stellar leaders were unsurpassable in their skills to find every available bird, their stamina, contagious energy and limitless good humored attitudes was never ending and the logistics were handled on a mega scale, especially considering the remoteness of some places visited. To add another layer of sheer pleasure the boat we were into was masterfully manned and operated, the food was outstanding and the overall experience was really amazing. Can’t wait for the next tour !

Glen Valentine
LH & MN - Indonesia: Western Highlights 2019

We really enjoyed this tour, it felt like a holiday as well as a bird watching experience. Glen Valentine was an excellent guide, both in terms of bird spotting/knowledge, and also his affability and management of the group, and we will try to travel with him again.

Keith Valentine
MM, Remote Indonesian Islands Cruise 2017

My thanks to Keith and Glen Valentine for taking so much time in getting me on the birds. They are so patient and really nice.

Adam Walleyn
RL Indonesia 2019

This was an outstanding trip among many great RJ trips. The guides, Adam and Lev were wondering in their ability to identify and everyone onto the irds and ammals.

Keith Valentine
JA, Remote West Papua 2017

Expert guiding by Keith and Glen Valentine, aided by fabulous local talent, ensured we saw the maximum number of endemics and other birds and mammals. Perhaps more importantly, these two brothers enjoyed their time together and provided a warm, friendly and caring environment in which we all had a good time with lots of laughs, and looked out for each other to ensure everyone got on the birds and did not falter on a tough hike or challenging car ride.
