Birding Indonesia

We host birding tours to eastern Indonesia, with Papua as our speciality. Halmahera, Tanaimbars, Sera Mehd Halaouate is the tour leader on all our trips.

Our area of expertise is eastern Indonesia with well over 50 trips – private and commercial – to Papua. We have long and deep relationships with all the local guides and we speak the Indonesian language fluently. Booking a tour with us not only gives you an amazing birdwatching tour, but also gives you a deep insight into local culture and you make friends for life. We have a few itineraries, but

we also custom make itineraries to your liking. We are experienced travellers who have lived and travelled in Indonesia since 2001. Normally our birding trips are from 10-30 days and we can custom make a travel according to your specific wishes. We are fluent in English, French, Swedish and Indonesian which makes the travels off the beaten track smooth and enjoyable. If you'd like to come with us for an orchid watching travel we'll arrange that. There are some really amazing orchid species in Papua. Maybe you want to go for the parrots or the Birds of Paradise?

We just finished 18 days trip to West Papua in January 2025. This is a new experienced for us. Since it is out of the normally known for breeding season of the Birds of Paradise family and it is in the middle of rainy season throughout Indonesia.

However, we made it and succeed to have 240 species in our checklist. We even witness 2 species of Bird of Paradise mating during this January 2025.

So for those who would like to have sunshine in Indonesia than winter snow in Europe at the end of this year or early next year, please do not hesitate in contacting us. A short story has been uploaded in our website.

We might comment about this trip with "It is much better to have light rain birding time in West Papua than the winter snow in Europe".

Many people avoid the December to March birding trip to Indonesia, since it is in the middle of rainy season and out of the breeding period of the Birds of Paradise. These couple of days proved that those opinions are not completely true.

These photos are taken on 14-15th January 2025 in West Papua Indonesia. We succeed to witness mating behaviour of the Twelve wired and Lesser Birds of paradise. Not much rain, so of course we got plenty of bird species in our bag list.

So, for you guys who wants to feel the warm weather rather than cold winter in your home, you are invited to see our birds of paradise dances and mating.

One of the least known and photographed parrot species from New Guinea, the Blue-collared Parrot Geoffroyus simplex. We don't know much about the species and it is still not a common one either.
Often heard while flying very high in similar behaviour as the Red-cheeked parrot.

Our Sulawesi-Halmahera is ended today with a couple from UK. These Maleo are one of the most wanted species to see. We succeed in seeing 37 individuals which came to their breeding ground in a beach.

Yes, this bird dig a hole in a sandy beach, lay their eggs, and let the heat of the earth helps to hatch the eggs. They are megapodes and only live in Sulawesi Island.

In their peak season, there can be a hundred individuals come to this beach. What an amazing scene to witness.

Here is a short video sequence of a Moluccan or Seram cockatoo doing what it does best.....
This behaviour can happen for different reasons such as gathering the flock and calling a partner like in this short video, we could hear other cockatoos a bit far, or just warning others of the threat which in most cases coming from humans. Sometimes the calls or this beautiful music is just to invite others for feeding.
It was taken handheld thus the shaking on Seram island, Maluku, Indonesia.

Travelling to the Tanimbars to see the endemic birds is a great experience especially the beautiful and unique Goffin's or Tanimbar cockatoo. The trails are mostly flat and the birding is rewarding a few kilometres outside the capital city Saumlaki.
Here is a short video of these Cockatoos or Corellas in their element. It was taken during one of our parrot trips which focused on the islands with the unique parrot species.
This trip included Sumba island, Halmahera island, Seram island, Jayapura region and finished on Waigeo island.
This pair was reluctant to leave the tree as they had a nest that needed protection from other parrots.
