Madoo Bird Tours
Madoo Bird Tours
is a family owned, and run, business that has been passed through generations
and embrace modern aspects while maintaining traditional qualities. When dealing
with Madoo’s, one will encounter the most enthusiastic, energetic, friendly and
well trained tour guides that maintain the highest levels of professionalism
afforded in this industry. Our guides boast a vast knowledge of the Caroni
Swamp’s mangroves, waterways and its flora and fauna that is unsurpassed by
others and yet to be matched. Our most popular tour is at 4:00pm daily and its duration
is approximately 2 ½ hours long. As we glide gracefully along the pristine glass like
waters, shaded only by the unspoilt mangrove foliage suspended overhead, you,
our visitor our honored guest, will be educated about the various species of
birds, snakes, plants, crustaceans and other wildlife animals that call this
their sanctuary. As we approach the climax of the tour, we are afforded a rare privilege
to view one of the world’s most exotic, luminescent birds; the Scarlet Ibis, in
full flight as they return to their roosting grounds, high atop the mangrove trees,
after a day of feeding. You are encouraged to bring along light refreshments,
repellent, cameras and binoculars as you would definitely want memorable and
keepsakes from, what has been described by many as an exceptional encounter. Come
on board and experience an evening full of relaxation and fun in comfort and
assured safety.
