We had an amazing early morning of birdwatching with our guide Mau. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the birds that were there. We got binoculars and he also brought a telescope to see the birds in great detail. It’s really cool to see how diverse the birds are in the area and how much you can see when you pay attention. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

Our tour guide, Mau, was very knowledgeable about all the local birds and was very enthusiastic about each one. I am not a birder myself but he made it fun by being so excited about all the birds we saw. I was also grateful he shared all the great photos he took through his telescope with us as I don’t have a good camera. Overall it was a wonderful experience and definitely worth getting up at 4:30am for!

The guide was not a bird specialist so he was barely able to show us anything we couldn’t have found on our own. His bird identification was at times questionable. The breakfast was bare minimum. Nothing special. The Maleku village visit was non existent regardless of the fact that it was a selling point in their brochure. Reception staff were sullen. Horses looked sickly.

Our guide has been studying birds and was very knowledgeable. As we walked to the village of the indigenous people, he pointed out many interesting birds and how they came and survived in Costa Rica. My favorite part was the indigenous community. They are such talented artists and they don't waste anything in nature. They use the bark of trees for clothing and plants for medicinal purposes. They are grateful for all around them.

This was our first guided tour on our trip, and we enjoyed it very much. The guide was very enthusiast and helpful, but expert level birders might be slightly disappointed. In our group there was only one semi-serious birder, one casual birder, and two others mostly along for the walk. The guide also pointed out interesting bugs and mammals along the way, and the trail had some very nice birding opportunities. The walk ended at an indigenous village, with a small ceremony followed by a walk through the gift shop! :-D Still, it was fun, and the crafts were lovely, and reasonably and comparably priced. Good value, fun morning.
