We really enjoyed our 6am birdwatching tour at Mistico Park! As an amateur birdwatcher, this was my first guided tour, and it was definitely worth it. I confidently spotted, with the help of the guides, 11 different bird species, including two different wood creepers, both a rufous and keel-billed motmot, and a crested owl--which I would never have spotted on my own! I missed out on seeing the umbrella bird, which others in my group spotted. We also saw coatis, ant cutter leaves, and the guides spotted a curled up pit viper off trail. Plus, the park was gorgeous and views from the hanging bridges were incredible. The paths were largely paved, and I think this would be accessible to anyone who can stand/walk slowly for 2.5 hours. All in all, I definitely recommend!

We saw lots of birds, monkeys, a frog and a bat. Our guide really explained everything and answered all our questions. He even airdropped to us all the amazing photos he took during our tour. Highly recommend!

We did not see many animals during the tour. Although our guide was doing his best, we think the tour was overpriced and we won't recommend it.

Our guide, a professional naturalist, Froy was extremely knowledgeable about the birds and wildlife in the park. We saw dozens of species of birds including a very difficult to see Chuck-Wills-Widow sleeping high in a tree. He found many birds in his spotting scope as well as a female eyelash pit viper curled up on a large leaf. He was very good at spotting birds across the valley from the reception area and showed us in the spotting scope. Our tour started at a little after 5am which is a great time to see birds as they're very active then. Also there are few people on the trails that early The park has mobility scooters for rent which was useful. They can access most of the trails. Highly recommend Froy as a guide when you visit this park.

Wonderful, wonderful guide (Roy). He was so attentive, knowledgeable and and really cared about us having a great visit. I just "personally" thought it was a little boring. I had down the Canyon Rappelling the day before and this tour was more about hiking and going over about 5 hanging bridges. I just like a more thrill seeking adventure. The whole trail is about 2 miles and we stopped to see different vegetation but to be honest, we did not see too much wildlife. Maybe I was expecting more than this actual tour offered. I was expecting to see monkeys, and other animals, with some species of birds and other animals. Please realize this is a personal experience, in no way or shape has anything to do with the company or the tour guides. It was just a tad boring for me.

My husband and I went on a private birdwatching tour with Froy, our guide. We saw so many birds toucans, motmots, kingfisher, Jamacars and many more we also saw Anoles lizards and families of spider monkeys and howlers and tarantulas…
The most important part is that we would have missed 90% (or more) of these creatures without the experience and genius of Froy. He was amazing. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable he was entertaining and kind and very obviously loved his job. I highly recommend this tour and this tour guide.

We had an excellent and knowledgeable French-speaking guide. It allowed us to see lots of birds and animals that we would have been unable to see alone.
