Great bird watching tour - Picked up at the hotel at 6 am. clary is a very good guide and already knows the species of birds by their sound. Immediately seen 2 species of Toucans. During the tour very many different species of birds seen. The tour we highly recommend

Top notch - book if you can - Natalia was absolutely fantastic - firsthand knowledge where one might find birds (not necessarily just following pipeline road), and an excellent ear for finding them. Understood my goal of photography and helped facilitate the right conditions for that. She has a great eye for finding what many other people, miss (including other guides). Highly recommend if you’re looking for the real experience.

Great Birdwatching Tour on Pipeline Road - We had a great time on our birdwatching tour today. Thanks to Clari’s knowledge and experience, we saw tens and tens of birds of different species and had a lovely walk in the rainforest down Pipeline Road, which is stunning. I am so glad we chose to go, and thank you Clari.

BIRDWATCHING EARLY MORNING IN SOBERANIA NATIONAL PARK/GAMBOA. - This was an outstanding morning in Soberania National Park. I was looked after by Juan our driver and guide Clarivel. I saw many species of birds; lizards, an agouti, a red-tailed squirrel, howler monkeys; a white-faced capuchin; stunning butterflies; a dragonfly and of course the famous leafcutter ants. Clarivel is extremely knowledgable and has an incredible eye for spotting birds from far away. A 5-star day!

49 bird species in just 5 hours! - Wonderful experience! With Clarivel as our guide we saw 49 bird species, a silky anteater, a troop of Howler monkeys, iguanas and even an agouti. Some of the birding highlights were a Toucan, a Puffbird, a Xenops, a Euphoria, a Woodcreeper, a Shrike vireo, a Tiger Heron, Jacanas, a Crake, Motmots, Trogons, Antshrikes, Antwrens, Antbirds, an Ant-tanager and, needless to say, ants. We are beginner birders and Clarivel was able to help us locate the birds easily.

Pájaro party - Yina was extremely knowledgable about birds and was able to show us a wide variety of species (including a toucan!). She even brought us binoculares and taught us the basics of birding. We had a wonderful trip, and appreciated the round trip pickup and flexibility on timing. Great way to see nature and amazing animals

Professional birding experience - Focused birding excursion. The guide was a true birder, not just somebody who deals with tourists. One nice thing about Panama is that great birding destinations are very close to Panama City, and an old US Govt. pipeline road provides easy access (by foot) to a rainforest.

Definitely recommend - I had a great time with Clarivell and Juan. Originally I missed my original booking since my hotel wouldn’t allow the car in, but everyone at the company worked hard to get me the tour since that was my last day in Panama. We’ve seen lots of cool birds, monkeys and sloth. Even though the trip was cut short by rain, we just drove around and looked for animals from the car. Overall great experience
