TOURS & PLACES OF INTEREST TO VISIT
Contacts for matters relating to wild Hawaiian birds, such as distribution, identification, birdfinding and reporting
unusual sightings.
These are just a few of the companies which offer specialist tours in Hawai'i. If you know of any other suitable
ones, please let us know.
Places of interest to visit in Hawai'i, which although are nature or environmentally orientated
are not necessarily birdwatching or wildlife watching sites per se.
Please only correspond with these contacts for matters relating to wild Hawaiian birds, such as distribution, identification, birdfinding and reporting unusual sightings. Also please be polite when asking for information and a word of thanks is always appreciated, after all these are just local knowledgeable birders who may be of some assistance to visiting birders.
For travel information (such as accommodation and flights) questions should be directed elsewhere, such as the HAWAI'I VISITORS BUREAU (see the Useful addresses and telephone numbers page). Please try not to ask questions that are either contained in this website or are of such a general nature that the answers would be widely available in other literature, websites or information sources.

Volunteers are needed for fundraising, wild bird care (State and/or Federal Wildlife Rehabilitators’ licenses must be obtained by each individual), grant writing and research, and publicity. Individual members who for years have been networking and caring for birds in their own homes recently located a house rental on 1.8 beautiful acres in Wai‘anae formerly used as a veterinarian clinic. Wild Bird Rehab Haven hopes to begin operations in late Spring. Recommendations for other potential sites (a private house with yard and supportive neighbors) closer to Honolulu are also welcome. Donations are appreciated (and tax deductible). Checks can be made payable to Wild Bird Rehab Haven, 2462 Kuhio Ave., #411, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96815.
