    Birds, rain and lack of reservation by tour organizer.

    todd_w, Feb 2026
    The tour was very good. Even though it was raining, we saw many birds. After the tour we were stopped at exit and told we need to pay entrance fee. I refused because it was included in the fee. We were held up for 25 minutes and had to argue and show proof of our prepaid. This should not have happened and was the fault of the tour guide who did not properly make the reservation with the observatory.
