Bali Bird Walks

My husband and i did a walking bird tour with Su yesterday and absolutely loved it. Su was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and engaging. Her passion for birds and nature is fabulous!

We walked through quiet neighbourhoods, amazing rice fields and alongside lush canyons.
While it was a long hot walk it wasn't difficult and we had small breaks along the way.
Su offers so much more than just Bird watching, she has a wealth of knowledge on all the local insects, trees and fruit and their importance to the farmers.

She made sure to assist all 4 of our small group in spotting birds and was clear and patient with instructions. We ended up seeing 25 birds on our walk which was amazing the highlights being the Cinnamon Bittern, Javan Kingfisher and for me a really good look at a handsome Brown throated Sunbird right at the end!

Would 100% recommend this tour. It's amazing value and full of passion. Would definitely bird watch with Su again!

Thank you Su!

I loved both my group and my private bird tour! I had been looking forward to them for several months and I couldn't have been happier with what they turned out to be like. Sumadi was very helpful in pointing out and naming the birds, plants and insects we encountered and I truly enjoyed her company. The included lunch was amazing, too! Sumadi didn't just taught me many new bird and insect names, but taught me a lot about Balinese culture as well. These two bird tours were big highlights of my stay in Indonesia! Even days later when I sent Sumadi descriptions of birds I had seen she very kindly helped me identify birds based on plumage, location, size and behaviour via WhatsApp. If I ever return to Bali I will certainly book a tour again! Thanks, Su!

Had an awesome time with Su today. Her joy is contagious and I appreciate someone so passionate about their field of expertise. The walking tour through the countryside was relaxing and good for the soul. Along with the birding we learned many local insects and plant species. The lunch after was tasty as well. The highlight for me was seeing the Javen Kingfisher, such a beautiful bird. I highly recommend Su’s tour.

Walking is a good choice of adventure on the side of rice fielss its like youre in heaven, but hot wheather and humid, use insect reppelant for comfort.

Cool. But if there is another place to visit, take it as a priority. Since you can see the bird park when you’ve already seen everything, but you need to spend time

What a fantastic, strange, original tour in Ubud.
I mean strange in a good way.
It's not just about Birds, You'll learn about the Insects, Lizards, Plants, Trees and how the locals live.
It packs a lot in, and it was really good.

Su was so cool, halfway through a talk she'll yell out "Bird Bird" "Look",
It's so great to see and listen to someone so passionate about wildlife.
She really tries to get everyone to see and experience everything.
I would do this tour again if I ever come back,
I'm fairly sure you could repeat this tour multiple times and see different wildlife.

It is long, and it is hot, so bring water, and expect to be trudging through farms.
I probably wouldn't recommend my 70 yr old mum doing this, but if you are fit it's a breeze.

One of our best experiences during our time in Ubud. My son is a nature and wildlife lover and I was looking for an activity for us to do around Ubud… Omg what a wonderful day spent with Su in the rice fields around Ubud. We saw so many birds and insects and we all had a great day, not just my 13 year old son! Su is so knowledgable and passionate about birds and wildlife and her enthusiasm is contagious. Plus her warm personality and kindness truly made this experience a one of a kind. She even introduced us to a friend who does herping in the area - another amazing activity we did as a family. Definitely one of our highlights during our 3 weeks in Bali. I highly recommend a walk with Su. We hope to visit Su again in the future. Thanks again su for a memorable day!

By far our best experience in Bali so far. Totally amazing. Su is funny and imparts her knowledge and insights throughout the walk. So much more than birds - insects, lizards, rice cultivation. Traditional plant remedies. And as we headed back into town, we stopped for some turmeric juice and fresh fruits.

Highly recommended. Su provided wonderful insight into rice farming and Balinese culture. She has an incredible knowledge of birds (we saw 22 species during our two hour walk) as well as many plants, insects, and reptiles.

Su was an incredible guide and I learnt so much from her. She doesn’t only know every bird but all the insects, reptiles and other critters! I already wanted to book in for a second tour as soon as it was done.

This was a wonderful experience. We jumped in without any information, and I’d like to make sure the next person knows what this is.:)

First, best way to communicate is by using WhatsApp and messaging your intent to join the bird walk. Check the website for days/hours that the walk starts. (As of right now it’s Mon/Tue at 9am)
Second, the meeting point is at the golden bridge in Ubud, not at the office (the address listed is the office location.) However, we were at the office at meeting time, and they were so kind to drive over and pick us up. The drive from pickup to start of the walk is not very long- 5 minutes perhaps. Su provides guests with binoculars- so you won’t miss a thing!
You will need to have local currency to pay, it was about 530,000 a person.
The group was very small, only 4, and it was absolutely the best way to learn about the culture, flora and fauna! Su (the guide) is very enthusiastic! We saw (and she identified) everything from caterpillars, spiders, and lizards to plants and birds. She took her time explaining to us the rice fields, the different stages, how they process etc and we saw rice fields in each stage (much more educational than the plantation/tourist approach you get elsewhere.)
The walking tour lasts about 3 hours- make sure you have drinking water, bug spray, and your camera (or fully charged phone!) After the walking tour the group heads to a local restaurant (lunch is included in the price.) Su continues to educate through the entire day, she is very easy to understand, has a conservation outlook, and is very knowledgeable!

Loved the bird walk with Sumadi! We walked among rice fields, forest and gardens and she showed us birds, butteflies, reptiles and plants, told us how these plants are used in local cuisine and medicine, we cold smell and even try them! Sumadi also told us about nature and farming traditins on Bali. It was super interesting and fun!

There is no such place as Bali Birds Walks in Ubud. We walked there more than one hour and when we arrived it turned out to be Bali Birds Walks Club which is closed. This place is outside Ubud, wrong pin on the map.

Su could see the most beautiful birds and insects we could never find on our own. And with great enthusiasm and knowledge she informed us about the flora and fauna in Ubud. I would definitely recommend this tour!

This was absolutely great. Best way to get in touch with the Bali nature around Ubut. The walk is focused on birds, insects, plants and nature as a whole. Su will guide you to her hometown, just outside of Ubud, which you will reach by car together with the group after arrival at Murni's. There are around 50 different birds that you are able to spot around here! Enjoy and bring some sunscreen and water, just to be sure. Thanks Su!

Best way to see and appreciate the natural beauty of Ubud. Su is a passionate, enthusiastic and expert guide to birds, butterflies, reptiles and flora. Can’t recommend it enough.

15 out of 10! Su, the guide is a mine of information, not only of birds, but all the local flora and fauna. Made the day very enjoyable with her easy going style of delivery.

A bit expensive but very beautiful, have never seen anything like it and i will never forget it.

If you like birds, butterflies, herbs or plants at all this is a must-do in Ubud. Su is an enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable guide who will take you through the rice paddies pointing out everything she spots. We marked 24 bird species on our trek. In the summer high season, go to her website and make a reservation by emailing her. In the off season just show up here at 9am.
