Alvin of Costa Rica - Alvin was a great guide pointing out dragonflies, crabs, sloths, monkeys, birds, bats and so many other flora and fauna. Easy going guy with a lot of knowledge and interest in us as well. Highly recommended!

Magical bird tour!! - This early morning birdwatch was a highlight of our trip. We saw over 21 species from a beautiful hillside over the ocean at sunrise. Our Guide, Harold, was kind, funny, engaging and very knowledgeable. Harold is very tuned in to all the birds- sights, sounds, habitat. We were taught so much more about Costa Rica than just about the birds- culture, history, and ecology. We were able to capture some photos through his scope (for those birds perching at a distance). We saw macaws, toucan, Lineated woodpecker, hawks, falcons, caracara, tanagers parrots and many more! 1000% recommend.

Great Experience!!! - What a great experience! Our guide, Marvin was outstanding. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. My mom, who is an avid birder saw 16 birds she had never seen before! I highly recommend this tour (and especially Marvin!).

Great birding tour - Fantastic tour! We are novice birders & saw 35 species in the Manuel Antonio area (rural farm land sort of area). It ended up being a private tour which was great. Our guide was great. We didn’t consider ourselves “birders” when we came to CR, but we definitely left as “birders”.

Great experience - Marvin was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. The highlights were a bat falcon, a red-legged honey creeper, and two scarlet macaws perched just feet away. Highly recommend!

Best experience in 3 week trip to Costa Rica - Marvin was an excellent guide for the 6 of us. Two of us were experienced birders but the other 4 had never been birding before. Marvin was able to make it a interesting and exciting trip for all of us. He knew the area well and could quickly find and identify birds. This experience came in the last days of our 3 week trip to Panama and Costa Rica. All of us agreed that by far it was the best experience.
