Here are a few tips for bird photography in Tangkoko and Tomohon:
  • Go during the dry season. The dry season, from March to October, is the best time to go birding in Tangkoko and Tomohon. The weather is generally sunny and clear, and the birds are more active. But that doesn't mean it's bad in November-February, it's just more rainy, but it's great for birdwatching and photography.
  • Start early in the morning. Birds are most active in the morning and evening. If you want to get the best shots, try to be out early in the morning.
  • Be patient. Birds can be difficult to photograph. It takes time and patience to get the perfect shot.
  • Use the right equipment. A good camera with a telephoto lens is essential for bird photography. You may also want to consider using a tripod to steady your camera.
  • Be respectful of the birds. Do not disturb the birds or their habitat.
With a little planning and effort, you can capture some stunning images of the birds of Tangkoko and Tomohon.

This tour is divided into two places, namely tangkoko as the representative of the lowland species and tomohon (G. mahawu) as the representative of the highland species. then we chose Tomohon as a complement. And Tomohon is not inferior either because it has special species not found in tangkoko, such as Sulawesi Myzomela, Sulawesi Blue Flycatcher, Sulfur Bellied Whistler, Touquoise Flycatcher Etc. And more specifically for lovers of Kingfisher, Tangkoko and Tomohon, they contributed 10 types of kingfisher, 5 of which were endemic to Sulawesi, namely Green backed kingfisher, Sulawesi lillac, Sulawesi dwarf kingfisher, Great billed kingfisher, And Scaly breassted kingfisher.

Nice tour with tangkoko wildlife tour,
Thank you for good sevice
Julian has an excellent knowledge in birdwatching and knows where and how to find the birds in the Tangkoko forest but also in other places in Sulawesi or West Papua. He has also knowledge about the the mammals and other animals. The days begin early morning to see the birds and there is also afternoon/evening sessions. The room was very simple but clean woth air con/wifi and the food was different and healthy at each lunch. He arranged the transfer to come and to the next destination or to the airport. I spent 2 full days and three nights plus a morning session and saw lot of endemic birds including different species of kingfishers,parrots and pigeons. It is worth to come there!
