An incredible experience with Roy!

Our excursion was incredible and we had a lot of fun! We were lucky to have our guide, Roy, who told us and showed us many things about nature and the animals. You can tell he has a great passion for his work, and he definitely managed to transmit that passion to us. It was a fascinating experience and we would undoubtedly repeat it again and again. Many thanks to Roy for making this very special experience possible!

The best tour in Monteverde!!

Thanks Roy!! Our guide was incredible, super friendly, and very passionate about everything he was explaining to us. It was very noticeable how much he likes nature and we learned a lot from him. Also, we were very lucky and were able to see a lot of animals during the tour. It was an incredible experience and definitely one of the best parts of our trip to Costa Rica! Thank you so much for everything! We would recommend this tour without a doubt.

Unforgettable experience

The Curi Cancha tour with Roy was an incredible experience. During the tour you can see many animals: hummingbirds, spider monkeys, toucans, quetzals (female and male), an owl, and (wild) pigs, as well as a large number of butterflies. Roy explains everything with very interesting information and conveys a great passion for nature. Both the pickup and the ticket purchase work without any problems. At the end of the tour, you not only take away beautiful photos, but also unforgettable memories. Throughout the tour there is a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. We totally recommend this tour with Roy, as he manages to fully convey his enthusiasm for nature and wildlife to visitors.

Great guide: almost 37 birds found in Curi Canna

We had a really nice experience with our tour guide Roy. He has a lot of experience and finds & recognizes so many birds. We saw multiple quetzals and bell birds and Roy did his best to spot the toucan. Roy is a reliable guide, definitely recommended!

Operator response

Thank you so much.

Excellent

We had an excellent morning bird watching with Roy in Curi Cancha. He was brilliant at spotting the birds, knowing where to look and even finding better angles to view them from. I was very optimistic in hoping that we might see a Keel-billed Toucan, three wattle bellbird and a Quetzal. I didn't really think it was possible but Roy made it happen! We were so thrilled to see all three along with many other birds too. I would definitely recommend this tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Toucans and magnificent birds

We saw magnificent toucans, bellbirds, owls, snakes, and hummingbirds. However, we ended up in a group with the guide rather than alone (but we were refunded the difference). Negative point: the guide talked a lot with the other guides and sometimes wasted time when we wanted to continue the tour.

Operator response

Gracias por tu comentario. Nos ayuda a mejorar . Los guías en monteverde trabajamos muy unidos. Nos ayudamos unos a otros. Lo que hablamos entre guías es dándonos información sobre algunas especies encontradas en diferentes senderos. Eso nos ayuda a ver más especies. Es un trabajo en equipo para un mejor tour. Muchas gracias. Bendiciones

Curi Cancha and Guide Roy are a tough combination to beat!

Curi Cancha is a beautiful park to walk with many different trails to explore. Our guide Roy was a pleasure to interact with as he was personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. We saw seven different species of hummingbirds, white faced monkeys, and a variety of butterflies. For whatever reason, we saw only a handful of other birds. Just a slow day, which happens sometimes. Overall a wonderful park and we hope to someday get to visit again. Highly recommended!
