As a tourist guide, I offer birding and sightseeing tours for visitors who want to enjoy sightseeing and birding tours to explore mangrove forest along the coastal area or rainforest in hills of Sorong regency. These areas are suitable for watching birds and butterflies as well as seeing unique tropical food crop plants and wild flowers.

Usually the tour starts at 06:00 and finishes as 10:00. After that, participants will be returned to their hotel to take lunch and rest. For tourists who want to go birding in the afternoon, the trip starts at 12:00 and finishes at 18:00. Birding will be conducted by walking along the roadside, boardwalk and footpath.

Equipment
In general, participants of this birding tour need to bring their own binoculars. However, if they do not have binoculars, I, as a birding guide, usually bring a spotting scope which can be shared by participants to watch birds.

In addition to nature/ birdwatching and butterflywatching tours, visits to other tourist attractions in town can also be added into the itinerary. Non-birding tourists can visit traditional market, Doom island or mangrove park.
