Great experience, we definitely recommend! - Kevin was our guide and it was such a pleasure. We saw a Quetzel shortly after arriving, as well as several other animals. We loved the experience and definitely recommend! They also made it very easy and convenient and the transportation was great as well!

Excellent Bilingual Guide - A great tour guide! He knew to pass by a popular viewing point or the Quetzal nest, where people were waiting for hours and not seeing anything. Instead we spotted the male and female on our tour. We learned a ton, including how to make the most of our tickets to the forest after the tour was over.

Great morning nature walk - We did the cloud tour early in the morning with Kevin. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. He took a great amount of time to help us see the Resplendent Queztal. We didn't see it the first time around, but he recommended a walk to La Ventana in the park, which we enjoyed, and when we came back, after the tour officially ended, he found us and took us to see the bird. It was a fun day all around.

Amazing tour guide - Kevin was awesome! He is an amazing naturalist that found birds we would have never found ourselves. He has a vast knowledge of the natural history of the forest and shared it with our multi-family group in a way that was engaging and interesting. He helped us get great photos of wildlife through his scope to allow us to remember all that we saw beyond our tour with him. I’d highly recommend him as a tour guide!

Monteverde - We had a fantastic walk with our guide Kevin. He is very friendly, speaks perfectly English. Born in Santa Elena, he knows the area and its ecology like the back of his hand.

I highly recommend Kevin. - I highly recommend Kevin. He is very knowledgeable. And his photography skills are great. He found so many animals and plants that I really enjoyed. He was kind to my kids and answered all their questions. Thanks to Kevin, I was able to start our wonderful Costa Rica trip. There are many tours available, but you will always be satisfied with Kevin's guide. Thanks a lot, Kevin!

An excellent tour guide who knows and enthuses about his subject - Kevin was excellent with great knowledge and enthusiasm as well as a nice guy and fun guide I would recommend going on a tour earlier in the day even at 7.30am. Apparently more people do busier but more likely to see birds and wildlife than at 1 pm
