Dry Forest

Bird Watching Tour: Rainforest and Dryforest Birding Adventure

For the Expert & the Beginner
A supreme study in contrast, the Rainforest and Dryforest Adventure takes you to two very different environments. At Puu Laau, we roam the sub-alpine dryland forest on the west side of Mauna Kea, home of the endangered palila and the bryani sub-species of elepaio. Our other locale is the Puu Oo Trail, in a cloudforest habitat on the northeastern slope of Mauna Loa. There we look for the endangered akiapolaau, omao (Hawaiian thrush), iiwi, apapane, and other endemics.
