Bird Watching Tour:  Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge Adventure

For the Expert & the Beginner
This tour is a great complement to our Rainforest and Dryforest Bird Watching tour. Named by Hawaiians long ago, hakalau means "many perches" and is still considered critical rainforest bird habitat today. Once part of large cattle ranch, it was the first National Wildlife Refuge established in the United States for forest birds. It is home to some of the rarest plants and animal species on earth. We access the Puu Akala Tract by special permit.

Bird Watching Tour: Rainforest and Dryforest Birding Adventure

For the Expert & the Beginner
A supreme study in contrast, the Rainforest and Dryforest Adventure takes you to two very different environments. At Puu Laau, we roam the sub-alpine dryland forest on the west side of Mauna Kea, home of the endangered palila and the bryani sub-species of elepaio. Our other locale is the Puu Oo Trail, in a cloudforest habitat on the northeastern slope of Mauna Loa. There we look for the endangered akiapolaau, omao (Hawaiian thrush), iiwi, apapane, and other endemics.
