Excellent guided walk with Kevin. - Kevin was an excellent guide. We wouldn’t have seen anything without him. He was really knowledgeable and used my iPhone to capture all the birds and animals we saw. We went on a morning walk starting g at 8am. Thank you kevin

Highly recommend! - Kevin was an amazing guide and really knew his stuff. We saw a number of different animals including hummingbirds, a viper, and toucans! Kevin knew where to find the animals that we definitely would not have been able to spot by ourselves. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the reserve - it's worth paying the extra for this experience in Costa Rica (albeit in a smaller group compared to others)!

Excellent tour - We saw over 30 species of birds, as well as some fun mammals and a viper. Kevin was super friendly and very informative about the bird species and the local flora. Definitely recommend the tour.

Excellent Wildlife Experience - Kevin was very friendly and intelligent about the wildlife! Saw various species of hummingbirds, toucans, spider monkeys, and an armadillo (which apparently is rare in the daytime). Absolutely a beautiful experience, I highly recommend!

Amazing guided tour with Kevin, saw so many things - We had such a wonderful tour with Kevin. Without him I doubt we would have seen much at all but we saw so many bird including two species of Toucan, lots of types of Hummingbird, many other birds that Kevin told us the names of but which I have forgotten. We even saw a great Curassow which is apparently very rare for the area. We also saw capuchin monkeys and a nine banded Armadillo. Kevin took lots of video and photos on my phone through his special telescope. Thank you Kevin.

Superb memories of Animal watching curi cancha reserva - Kevin showed us and explained the fauna and flora of the reserve. We had the chance to see many birds and animals, but Kevin knows how to listen to nature and see what it takes...
Effective, it allowed us to bring photos and memories with us! And a lot of information.
Thank you.
We recommend it!

A great afternoon of bird spotting with a knowledgeable, fun guide. - Kevin was an awesome guide. He picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the Curicancha Reserve stopping along the way to pick out a favorite Toucan-spotting location. In Curicancha he never stopped looking for opportunities to spot birds for us .. and we saw many! He was informative, energetic and fun to be with. I have no hesitation in recommending Kevin as a guide.

I would do it again! - The tour was really relaxing and fun! Kevin was super friendly and great at locating animals with his laser eyes !! He was also very knowledgeable about the park and plants. We saw many birds (including toucans and baby hummingbirds), wild pig, coatimundi, and agouti. I would totally recommend this tour !!! 😎

Bird watching - Very nice day accompanied by our great guide Kevin. Lucky he was there because with his "iguana" eyes as he says, he spots everything. Small birds, mammals, flowers etc...
We were able to have nice souvenir photos thanks to his camera.
I recommend it, he speaks a little French and he is always willing to learn the language during the visit. We had a good laugh, that's great!
Gracias Kevin for the visit, your helpfulness and horchata of course. ☺️
