Sorong guides and/or tour companies?

I’m going to be in Sorong for a couple of nights in March and so far haven’t had any luck contacting either Charles Roring or Absalom to arrange a tour. Has anyone had luck with any other guide/tour company out of Sorong? I’d like to see mammals, of course!, but I’m happy for any wildlife tour so I’m not just hanging out in the hotel for 2 days.

Thanks

Chad

I currently live in northern New Jersey but am originally from California. I have an interest in all wildlife but have always been more interested in mammals, probably because I have no luck finding them. My current favorite mammals, not including the family cats, are the black bears that frequent our yard.

    Hi! I was recommemded Opyor as i am organizing to visit the area end of June and he was recommended to me by Daniel Boyland who used his help to find the western long-beaked echidna, his guiding services are slightly cheaper than Absalom but uses the same method of sending a lot of people of the village to find the Echidna so it is still a bit pricey. I originally contacted him by whats app but i find easier to get a reply from instagram @malagufuk01.
    He replies sometimes in english but i find it easier to use google translate english-indonesian for him to reply fast. Good luck!

      Thanks Eduardo! That is really helpful. It would be painful to get so close to the echidna and not get a crack at seeing it! I’ll be there March 18th to the 20th on the off chance anyone else will be in the area and wants to team up.
