Monteverde cloud forest should be on everyone's to-do list! - Jason was an absolute gem of a guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable & eager to show/teach us all he could. He would go out of his way to try to find us wildlife...we were even lucky enough to see the quetzal & the rare sunbittern! I would highly recommend this experience! The cloud forest is an unforgettable experience!

Great tour at Curi Cancha - We had a great time with Jason, spotting all kinds of birds and other wildlife (toucans were definitely the highlight) that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Jason is a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who made the experience one of the best of our stay in this country. Would recommend for sure.

Great morning - Very nice paced tour. My husband is a birder (I love plants), and we both enjoyed ourselves. 46 species. Jacob was in his element and got so excited to see the birds and share them with us. Genuinely a wonderful guide!

We love birds!! - Myself and my friend are avid birds and were looking to see as much as we could. Jason was an amazing guide with extensive local and ecological knowledge and the ability to spot any bird in the bush! Thanks Jason for helping us see 40 bird species in 4 hours. My only regret is not booking you for the day or asking more questions about the local birds in the region.

Great Bird Tour! Even saw the Resplendent Quetzal! - Jason was a fantastic guide who knew the area extremely well. He knows the bird sounds in the area and can even replicate them to attract birds for viewing. I saw about 32 bird species in a 4 hour tour, including the sought after Resplendent Quetzal! This birdwatching tour is a fantastic choice to experience Costa Rica’s rich bird species diversity.

Lovely walk in the Curi Cancha reserve ! - Jason was great !
He sent us the list of birds we got to see once the visit was over which was really cool. He was taking his time to explain things when things needed explanation and walked at a decent pace so we saw many different places and birds.
Don't go there expecting to see a huge amount of animals. Wildlife is unpredictable so go there with that in mind and simply enjoy the birds and animals you get to see.

My partner and I did a... - My partner and I did a tour (just the two of us) with our guide Jason, who was able to help us spot and identify numerous birds in the Curi Cancha reserve, including the Quetzal and a few other less frequently seen birds.
Definitely amateur friendly, as we were able to look through both the scope and binoculars that our guide had to properly appreciate the beautiful flora and fauna.

Amazing birdwatching - Highly recommend this Monteverde birdwatching experience at Curi-Cancha! Jason is an expert guide. In the walk through the Reserve he identified dozens of birds and sent a link to a complete list at the end of the tour. Favourites on that list were the Quetzal, collared trogon, northern emerald-toucanet, eye-ringed flat bill, warblers and hummingbirds. It is a true experience, where patience and listening for bird calls are rewarded with amazing sightings, photos and lots of happy moments shared with fellow bird watchers.
