Vogelbeobachtungstour in Monteverde

Jason was a wonderful guide! He was my first birding guide in Costa Rica but I went on to have several more in other parts of the country and Jason was the best by far. His knowledge of birds and their calls/songs was very impressive. I saw 50 species of birds on this tour I booked through Viator (I ended up being solo) and then I booked two additional outings with Jason - birding to Santa Elena cloud forest and a wildlife night walk, both of which were excellent. Jason knew I wanted to see a Quetzal and when we hadn’t found one by the end of our second birding outing, he went out of his way to take me to one more spot where he thought he might find one, and HE DID! Lovely experience, I’ve already recommended him to a friend who wants to go birding in Costa Rica. Definitely would reach out to Jason again if I was in the area.

Very good enthusiastic guide with a lot of knowledge. many bird species seen and enjoyed the surroundings. So top

Wow! What an extraordinary morning at Curi Cancha Reserve with Jason! His knowledge of birds and where to find them is exceptional. He also has a deep knowledgeable about many of the plants that we passed between seeing and hearing birds. We were able to observe the behaviors of many bird species in the early stages of mating season. We were also very fortunate to see a Bell Bird and the Resplendent Quetzal. Jason was really easy to spend time with, and he clearly has a deep love of the land and the flora and fauna. We enjoyed his company so much, we asked if he would guide us on a night tour!

We saw so many beautiful birds that we would never have seen on our own. Jean Bonilla is an amazing birder and helped us to see things we couldn't even imagine before.

I had a great experience on the Monteverde Birdwatching Experience. Everything ran smoothly and was exactly as promised, which is really what you want when booking a tour. The experience itself was well organised and relaxed. I’m not a hardcore birder, but I enjoy watching birds and learning along the way, and this tour struck a nice balance. I learned a lot about the forest and where to look for different species, and we were lucky enough to see plenty, including many woodcreepers, hummingbirds, redstarts and more and to get some good photos. While the experience overall was solid, it was even better thanks to my guide, Beto. His genuine passion for birdlife and the forest really added to the day, and he was simply enjoyable to spend time with. Overall, it was a very positive experience, delivered as advertised and made memorable by excellent guiding. I’d happily recommend it.

Your guide should be a naturalist who know everything about the region and nature. And love teaching it to others

Jason was a terrific guide - so much energy and knowledge. Our daughter is a birder amd wanted to see a specific bird - the Resplendent Quetzal. Jason connected with other guides and we found one! He had so much knowledge and ability to see so many birds and animals and was wonderful to tour with. And he explained so much about the Cloudforest and vegetation too. We highly recommend him and will go again someday.

This was our first birdwatching experience ever, and we honestly did not know what to expect. I knew nothing about birds going into it, but it ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Monteverde. Our guide, Jason, was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and clearly knows the area and the birds extremely well. He spotted birds we never would have seen on our own and always took the time to point them out. He also set up the monocular for us so we could actually see the birds clearly, which made the experience much more enjoyable, especially as beginners. What really stood out was how much Jason genuinely enjoys birdwatching. His excitement made the whole experience more interesting and fun, and he explained things in a way that was easy to follow without feeling overwhelming. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Our guide is very passionate and very experienced. We saw a lots of varieties of birds. Really recommend!

Fantastic birding experience! Jason is extremely knowledgeable, has an amazing ear for bird calls, birds and the local fauna. He was also funny and it was clear he was very excited to be out the forest sharing with us. I would follow Jason through the woods anytime!! We have more trips back to Costa Rica planned and I’ll be absolutely contacting Jason again.
