Incredible Bird Watching experience.
This was my favorite experience during my trip to Ecuador, Roberto was an incredible guide. He was able to point all the species quickly and help you find the best photo angles. While this tour starts early I would do it over and over and would recommend it to anyone who wants see something truly unique.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your visit to my country. We had an Amazon birdwatching tour.

Great day of birding
Spent a great day with Roberto and driver on this tour. They know their birds and where to find them, also got a lot of background on the areas we visited. Although there was a steady downpour most of the day we still ended up with 75 different species. I'll be sure to go out with them again them again the next time I'm in Ecuador.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your visit to Ecuador. You are allways welcome !

Great Horned Owl tours of Mindo.
If you are looking for a guide who is experienced, a good communicator, has an in-depth knowledge about the birds of the forest and enjoys sharing this passion; without hesitation I would recommend Roberto and the Great Horned Owl Tour. On the day, of my visit it was raining; Roberto rescheduled visits around the weather to ensure at the viewing sites I saw a considerable number of birds. He paced the tour - so there was ample time to view and just watch the magnificent birds.
Response from the operator: Thanks Victoria for contact us and visit our country!

Wonderful Guide With Endless Knowledge and Passion for Birds
The right guide makes all the difference when you're birding in a new country and in Roberto, you get the best of the best. First and foremost he knows his birds, their habitats, behaviors, and calls. But as importantly his passion for birds, wildlife and conservation are evident from the moment you step into the field. I've taken 1 and 2 day trips to the Mindo area with him the past 2 years and the experience has been fantastic. He's great about putting a trip together that you find interesting. If you want to go to feeders, he'll take you to excellent reserves with them. If you want to get out into the field and trek a bit on foot, he'll do that too. I enjoyed both - finding toucans (Plate Billed, Yellow Throated and Choco!) out on our own, and watching tanagers and hummers at feeding stations, among other adventures in between.
Response from the operator: Thanks my friend Seth for your visit to my country. We were so blessed in our last birding tour watching many different bird species and the end is was amazing. We found the family of torrent ducks and couple of vermillion flycatcher. In the futuro do not forget to contact me.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Enjoy The Beauty Of The Birds Of The Northwest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Enjoy The Beauty Of The Birds Of The Northwest cost?
+
Prices start at $180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Enjoy The Beauty Of The Birds Of The Northwest take?
+
Plan for about 16 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is Enjoy The Beauty Of The Birds Of The Northwest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Enjoy The Beauty Of The Birds Of The Northwest?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Enjoy The Beauty Of The Birds Of The Northwest suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Enjoy The Beauty Of The Birds Of The Northwest?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Enjoy The Beauty Of The Birds Of The Northwest start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
