Read one of our guest's comments:
"Starting in the morning after travelled two hours, we reached a tree look out post in the middle of the PREK TOAL!. The birds scenary is fabulous. Thousands of birds of several kinds of spieces are clustered around dozen of nesting trees. With the professional guide, we were able to identify all of them. After that we were able to approach the nesting trees in close distance on small boat. It's really a memorable experience. All the guides and locals we met during this trip are very hospitable and helpful. The professional guide knowing exactly the place to stop to watch various birds, making the whole trip worthwhile."
