 "My husband and I just finished a great bird trip with Mike Jarvis. We saw many colorful birds and had a good bird list. We also enjoyed the cultural aspects of Kakadu. I especially enjoyed the birds of Pine Creek. Mike is a very good guide- as good or better than any I have had in multiple years of birding in exotic places. I highly recommend this company"
