Since its formation, Rockjumper Birding Tours has been supporting the conservation of the birds that bring us many delightful hours of sheer bird watching pleasure.
Learn MoreBobby Wilcox was great - very communicative and great at finding birds and getting people onto them. Our local guide, Diego, was super at lining up local experts and coping with the many flight changes in Aerolineas Argentina. The scenery was spectacular, and the special birds were super.
This was one of the best tours we have been on. Due to my age, it will probably be our last.
Bobby Wilcox is an excellent guide. He is a skilled birder and clearly worked hard to prepare for the trip. It is a different experience being in a group of 8 with a guide (+ local guide) compared to just the two of us with a dedicated guide (on our custom tour), and it took us a little while to adapt to that, but we really enjoyed the trip. Most members of our group of 8 clients had extensive worldwide birding experience, whilst our expertise was much more limited. Bobby did a good job of supporting us and making sure that everyone got to see as many birds as possible and enjoyed the trip. We would be very happy to go on another tour with Bobby in the future. As mentioned previously in our "Northern Ecuador" feedback - we were very happy with the support that we received from Rockjumper. Thanks very much - we had a wonderful time!
I have been with a lot of leaders from many companies and Lev is right up there with the best. I would be glad to go anywhere with him. He is good at identifying the birds and getting us onto the difficult ones. He works well with the local leader and the van drivers. He is good at letting us know what to expect for each day. His time management, moving us on to the next step is great. He does one of the best evening reports of leaders I have been with. He speaks loudly enough, moves through the report at a good pace, doesn't try to add numbers of birds seen. When I had to step away during the report he left me his report so I could catch up which was very thoughtful. He did send us ebird reports during the day as well. As to the Relaxed Tour Format. It was perfect- The relaxed part comes from being able to stay at most hotels several nights. 6 am breakfast is relaxed-We would have seen more birds with earlier starts but that wasn't the point. As it was, I was able to see about 50 life birds which is very good considering I have been birding in that part of Asia quite a bit. Getting back to accommodations with usually a couple of hours before dinner is relaxed. Having only one meal on the trail and all others at the hotel or in a restaurant is relaxed. The vans were seriously relaxed with even wifi on board. The morning hot drink and snacks breaks is relaxed. I hope you can view the photo at the bottom. Some of the other participants had not been on many bird tours and didn't fully understand how relaxed this was in comparison to most tours. Uthai was a delight. He is a bit of a foodie and very carefully chose the dishes for our meals and explained them and wanted to see how we were doing with them. He introduced us to new fruits and foods and eating experiences. I was so honored to be on a tour with such a well known Thai Bird Leader
Eric Forsyth is a consumate birding tour leader: knowledgeable, always alert to the presence of birds, aware of the desires and needs of his group, prompt in registering the day’s sightings, adaptable to the vicissitudes of weather. It was a pleasure to spend 3 weeks with him.
This was my first tour with Rob Williams, and it was a great experience. He is a great spotter, knows the birds by ear, and so easy to be with. Also, he is interested and knowledgeable about so many things that the conversation in the car never got dull. Also, he deferred to Kalle the local guide about locations and seemed to collaborate with him easily about daily schedules. I liked all of the hotels on this trip, and the food was very good. The 3am early morning starts were hard, but worth it. I wouldn’t have wanted to miss anything.
