I’m so happy that I booked this tour with Sergio. He is so passionate about local birds, animals and plants. He is extremely knowledgeable about local birds and their habitats. We spotted so many cool birds during the tour. Sergio is super approachable and easy to talk to, he shared so many cool stories about birds including his person experiences. I enjoyed this tour so much and I highly recommend Sergio!
This was a great experience! Sergio was a great guide - polite, personable, and very knowledgeable! He took us to a number of different locations for specific species and we saw at least a few dozen different species of birds, some common basilisk, poison dart frogs, cane toads, howler monkeys, many coati, lots of bugs and other lizards... Overall way more than we were expecting and would absolutely go again! Talking with Sergio it's clearly a passion and he has a great ear for the calls. We went at the transition to rainy season (May) so most of the migratory birds were well gone and we got a good selection of native species. It is hot and humid and will be a bit of a trek but so worth it and not that strenuous. No plastic water bottles allowed in the national park so keep that in mind!
Spent about 6 hours with them from 5:45 pickup at our photo in Jaco to 11:30 drop off. We visited a couple locations so that we could hit our preferred list of birds. We saw quite a few on our list plus more. Excellent friendly guide did a great job of both finding what we looking for and spotting the impossible to see birds! Highly recommended!
Very nice outing with Sergio this morning. Very familiar with the birds present. Very experienced, he easily recognizes birds present by sound and sight and generously shares his knowledge. I highly recommend it 😊
Sergio was a great guide. We were impressed by all his sightings. Very exciting adventure. We look forward to doing it again.
We spent 4 extraordinary hours with Sergio looking for birds in their daily lives. He is passionate about nature and knows birds very well. I recommend this tour, you will not be disappointed🦜😍⭐️
Sergio is awesome! We identified 87 species in just a few hours and saw all but 4 of them. He knows some great local places outside of the main parks and helped me identify many of the little brown birds that I would have never ID'd without him. I can't recommend him enough!
Sergio was awesome! He was lighting fast with the spotting scope and knew the birds by sound. 33 species in 3 hours. Highly recommended.
Very knowledgeable and helpful guide who knew so much about the local area and where the birds were. Sergio is very friendly with excellent English language skills - and patient with a novice bird watcher! He is also a photographer and knows how to get the best shots. When I couldn’t get the shot w my camera he was happy to utilize his scope w my cell phone
We had an exceptional experience with our guide, Sergio. Over two half days and one full day, he showed us an incredible variety of unique birds and helped us see the area in a completely new way. One highlight was a boat ride where we saw herons, kingfishers, and more. Thanks to his keen eyes and deep local knowledge, we spotted far more birds and animals than we ever would have noticed on our own. Sergio has a calm, quiet presence and let us set the pace, which made the experience feel relaxed and personal. He was endlessly patient as I practiced capturing macaws in flight while they flew back and forth to their nest. In Carara National Park, his skill at finding wildlife really stood out. He located hummingbird nests, pointed out a roosting bat, and helped us notice so much more than we would have on our own. His knowledge is deep and shared with genuine enthusiasm, and he has a way of making you feel both guided and free to explore. We learned a tremendous amount and came away with a much deeper appreciation for the birds and ecosystems of the area. We’re already planning our next visit! Highly recommended.
thank you sooooo much for very kind words it has been one of the best time i ever had with clients that now i call my dear friends i treasure every bird and the time wwe spend toghether, looking forward to see you again thank you very much!!
