Additional Information

I’m a local of Tamarindo town and grew up around the National park. Growing up in such a rich and biodiverse place sparked my passion of conservation and protection of our natural resources and wildlife! I became a professionally trained and certified naturalist guide and decided to make this a full time job about 6 years ago! I’m bilingual, fun, educational and an avid birder! Let’s go make some memories

Wonderful bird watching - We had a wonderful time bird watching in the estuary. Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgable. One thing that wasn't advertised very well is that the tour is from a boat with a shade bimini.

Monkeys and crocs - Chris did a great job with finding all the wildlife and was very knowledgeable. LEGEND. Loved the tour!! Croc was trying to swallow a sting ray at one point. Chris’s monkey call was impressive and we got to see a family of monkeys!

Mangroves Tour - Our tour was great! We got to see 3 alligators, different birds, a large sting ray, raccoons, bats, land crabs on the trees, & a family of howler monkeys. Our guide Juan did an amazing job educating us about the importance of mangroves in the eco system.

Excellent wildlife & mangrove tour - Such a fantastic experience. Juan Carlos is extremely knowledgeable, exciting and passionate about wildlife and the environment. I chose this tour because I’m also an avid birder and the tour did not disappoint! We saw howler monkeys, bats, huge termite nests, a crocodile, central american raccoons, and several bird species including a peregrine falcon and a reddish egret which was a rarity and extremely exciting for both Juan Carlos & I! If you enjoy watching or learning about wildlife in a place as beautiful as Costa Rica, then this tour is for you!

Bad Guide!( Christian) - The tour itself was decent. Relaxing boat ride, if you are new to the birds and things .. lots of fun.. However,, our guide( Christian jr. )was not meant to work in this industry. Before we left the boat landing he went on a Rant.. basically scolding us for saying avocados were expensive there. Complained that we are Renting homes and eating at restaurants that are not owned by locals.. so It’s “our fault that things are pricey.. because tourists buy land there and charge too much and locals can’t afford to live! Then stopped the boat to Yell at a woman that she got on the wrong boat . ( very easy to do as there is no organization by the boats . No one checked any tickets or anything. ) And that she paid someone else and he needs his money . There were some interesting things to see and it could have been a really fun day. But he was just awful..! I would never do anything if he was running it! His father also Christian , was our pickup Driver and he was great!
