Amazing & friendly birding guide! - I had the great pleasure of taking a very nice 4-5 hour birding tour with Jeison in June'25! He knew several great hot-spots in the area, where I was able to see & photograph many lifers, including my very first ever kingfisher! We also saw motmots, scarlet macaws, barred antshrike, boat-billed heron, a bat falcon and many more! Jeison tailored my tour specifically towards getting good photos, since that was my main focus. This was highly appreciated, and I will absolutely hire him again when I return to this area!

Seeing Carara with an expert guide! - Jeison Hernanadez was an amazing guide. He was incredibly knowledgable; not only about different bird and animal species, but he also knew so much about the ecology of the area. We saw an amazing array of birds, as well as other creatures (poison dart frogs, blue morpho butterfly, leaf cutter ants, capuchin and spider monkeys, to name a few). Jeison was easygoing, friendly, and patient with our many questions. His English is excellent. If you have the opportunity to visit Carara, he's the guide you want to get!

Met my "Wild"-est dreams! - Jeison was exceptional! So knowledgeable about nature in general; incredible at finding birds in the dense jungle and setting up his scope in seconds. Completely fluent in English. We were completely satisfied with the tour.

Worth it! - Jeison made this trip so educational and pleasant for novice birdwatchers on this private tour! He was patient with our questions and pace. He introduced us to birds we never would have spotted without his expert eye, such as the crown wood nymph, red capped manakin, Baird’s trogon, lazy tailed trogon, bright rumped Attila, chestnut colored ant bird, the grey headed tanager, and of course macaws. I highly recommend him and this tour!

Birding and photography in Carara National Park - Wonderful birding in Carara National Park. I think we had over 40 species! Jeison was super knowledgeable and friendly and I will contact him again the next time I’m in the area.

Top notch guide = lots of species - What an amazing tour with our guide Jeison Hernandez! He was extremely knowledgeable - not only about the birds, but all of the plants and animals that call Carara National Park home. We saw 40-50 species in a 4-hour hike through the park. We are avid birders on our fourth trip to Costa Rica and this trip exceeded our already high expectations. Go with a guide. You will see far, far more than you could on your own. We saw motmots, macaws, puffbirds, hummingbirds, manakins, tanagers, ant shrikes, jackamars, a pale-billed woodpecker, and even a forest falcon. We can’t say enough good things about Jeison.

Great birding tour - Jenson was an excellent guide spotting many birds and a few mammals during our private tour. He did an amazing job of locating hidden birds with his spotting scope so so could see them.

Fabulous and probably the best ever! - Jeison was really helpful in making the arrangements for the tour and answering all of my questions in advance, so I had no worries. The actual tour was with his associate Yostin who was the best guide I had in CR and one of the beat birding guides ever! He was not only patient and persistent in trying to find some many birds in Carara Park and had the most observent eyes AND ears! He also had such a knack for making bird calls and whistles too. It was extraordinary!!! He went over and above far greater than 💯 percent to ensure our experience was the best it could be. Ready and quick with the scope and gracious in taking the time to take photos and videos from his scope! A huge list of birds. Just finished the tour today so can't yet share my full list that is still in the waiting. If you book with Yostin, you won't be disappointed. We'll worth it!

Excellent private birding tour! - We had a fantastic private birding tour with Jeison at Carara National Park. Our group of 5 ranged in age from 14 to 78 and the tour was excellent for all of us. We saw over 20 different species of birds, as well as other wildlife. Jeison was an expert at finding the animals and sharing information about them. I would recommend Jeison to anyone!

Beautiful birdwatching trip - Our guide Yostin was great! Very much knowledge about birds, nice information about nature and very enthusiastic! Also very friendly and good English. A real bird nerd 😉 We saw a lot of animals and enjoyed it very much. We would definitely recommend Yostin as a guide!
