Fantastic Private Bird Tour - We had the best experience together with Enrique for about 4 hours on our Private Tour. We saw so many different birds as well as the Black frogs and mating of Trogonfugle and Scarlet Marcau. So we were just so lucky, and we thank Enrique for a fastantic day

Great birding with Yostin - We had a really good time birding with Yostin, what a great guy! He was very knowledgeable of both sounds and sightings, giving us an opportunity to observe species we would have never identified ourselves. We saw a great variety of birds and he always tried his best to accommodate fo us to see, hear and photograph all species as well as possible. He also explained best ways to identify each species, and also the overall ecology of the area. Thanks again Yostin, was definitely one of our all-time birding highlights!

Amazing bird knowledge - My husband had one objective for our day in Carara: See as many birds as possible. Thanks to Jeison's PhD-level knowledge and expertise, we were able to do just that. We also saw frogs, ants, lizards and bats, but Jeison and his bird identification skills were the star of the show.

Great experience - The tour was amazing. Our guide (Jason) had very sharp eyes and found wildlife i never would have found on my own. Very knowledgeable and extremely kind. He let us use his wifi to get back to our hotel. Just a heads up, the park center wifi was useless lol.

Great experience with tour guide Yostin - We have been with Yostin 4 hours in the park on animal watching. Yostin was great. He has a lot of knowledge, not only about birds but also other animals and plants, of nature in general. We learned a lot 👌and can highly recommend Yostin as a guide.

Excellent tour with charming, knowledgeable guide. 10/10 recommend! - Yostin was the type of guide every birder can appreciate. He brimmed with birding knowledge and love for nature, and was friendly and accommodating. Though birds don't show up on demand, Yostin searched out an array of birds we would never have spotted alone. He was excited by our enthusiasm and literally went the extra mile to find everything we hoped to see. Highlights include a close and long look at a great tinamou and a scarlet macaw peeping out of its nest hole. I thoroughly recommend booking this tour of Carara with Yostin.

Excellent tour - absolutely necessary to have a guide - Jeison was a fantastic tour guide. I don't know that we would have seen much without him, the forest is so dense and spotting the birds (especially for novice birders like us) would have been very difficult - despite the fact that they were everywhere. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the birds, and other flora/fauna. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful Tour! - 10/10! Jason was an awesome guide and helped us spot all kinds of birds and animals. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we hoped to. He also took us to see owls at another location outside the park which was really special. Highly recommend!

Incredible!!! - Wow! Jeison must be the fastest scoper in the west. He was able to get us such great looks at a variety of size and species of birds. He comes with over 20 years of birding experience and was very knowledgeable about all the other flora and fauna in the forest as well. If you’re new to birding in Costa Rica, or just want to increase your likelihood of catching rare species, Jeison is the guide for you. We even got a quick look at the Baird’s Trogon! Though I think the highlight for us was the view we got of the Turquoise-browned Motmot. Jason was kind, helpful, and generous. We spent a few hours walking Carara Park until closing, then he took us to a dry forest down the road where we added several new species to our list.

Jeison was Fantastic! - Jeison is an excellent guide for birders. He was super knowledgeable, communicative and a fantastic person to spend some time with. He gave us great recommendations for other spots around Costa Rica. I would highly recommend booking him!
