Fantastic Bird Watching

Spent a morning with Juan touring the Cloud Forest. The main objective was birding. Juan delivered fantastic results. He is an excellent guide & his communication skills are outstanding. I really enjoyed spending time with Juan.

The best tour guide!

We had such an excellent time with Dennis! He is incredibly knowledgeable, prompt, and speaks very good English. He was always very quick with spotting wildlife and setting up his scope so that we could see them as well. We learned so much and had such a great time. 1000% recommend!

Wow!

We had a wonderful experience! Booking was easy, and the shuttles were regular. Tips: get to Centro Visitante a bit early because you need to pay an additional Natl Park entrance fee. We booked with Dennis Fernandez— he was a wonderful guide. He knew so much about the forest, and had a winning personality. Also, a very talented photographer. We enjoyed chatting with him over coffee after the tour. Thank you, Dennis!

Our family (including 2 teens) loved this tour. The reserve is a very special place. Our guide, Jairo, was deeply knowledgeable about the animals, ecology, and all aspects of the cloud forest.

Worth it!

Wonderful tour! Dennis was very knowledgeable and was able to point out so many things that we would have missed if we had just done the self-guided tour. Worth the extra money in order to truly learn about and soak up the forest.

Bird watching deluxe!

We did the Cloud Forest Emerald route and had an amazing time! I highly recommend going with a guide or you won’t see most of the amazing creatures, especially the birds. Our guide, Dennis knew all the sounds and could track them down with an amazing sighting of a resplendent quetzal!

The best birding walk ever!

Dennis was absolutely outstanding. I just can't say enough how helpful, professional, friendly, and efficient he was. He could spot birds in places where other guides missed. He was also able to share tips with the other guides. Dennis has to be the beset there is. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again. Highly recommended!!!

A fantastic experience

Fantastic tour, our guide Derniert was extremely knowledgeable about both the wildlife and vegetation. A very intimate tour, and we saw a Quetzal which was fantastic! Would highly recommend this tour. For the ticket you also need to book the "Heart of the Forest" ticket for the park.
