Walking with nature - We enjoyed our walk through the secondary and primary forest. We went early & glad we did - before it got hot. We saw some birds (no macaws, toucans or parrots) and a pit viper curled in a tree. Antonio, our guide, showed us a pace at the beach afterward where we saw macaws. The path through the park is easily navigated and fairly flat so anyone can enjoy it.

Experience nature... - Exceptional nature experience, Johana is amazing, funny, quiet, she introduces you to the forest and these treasures. She has an eye for spotting all the animals, without her we wouldn’t have seen much.

Ronald is the best! - Our guide was Ronald, he was the best. He customized our tour based on our interests. He was very engaging with us and especially with our two children. Felt like we took a hike with our uncle. Very knowledgeable about the ecosystem and how the plants, animals and birds all interact with eachother. Very professional and an unforgettable tour. Highly recommend Ronald.

Ronald was a fantastic... - Ronald was a fantastic guide that took his time to point out many different birds, sloths, and monkeys to our group. He learned what animals our group were most interested in and watched for them to point them out. Ronald was great at taking photos for us through his telescope to ensure we have memorable shots to take home! Highly recommend Ronald! We had a wonderful time!

Great guided tour with Giovanna - We had a great and interesting tour with Giovanna. She is very likeable and a super dedicated guide. She loves her work and that's why she's passionate about it. We really liked that. She sees many animals and explains a lot. We were out for three hours and saw the macaws and many smaller but rare bird species. For us, the tour was an asset. Clear recommendation!

Our 8:00 AM guided tour... - Our 8:00 AM guided tour was an absolute standout experience. While the biodiversity of the region is naturally impressive, it was our guide, Jovonni, who truly elevated the excursion. Her profound passion for the ecosystem and her extensive knowledge of the various species made for an educational and exhilarating morning. ​Jovonni has a remarkable eye for spotting wildlife that most would overlook. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to observe an incredible variety of species in their natural habitat, including: ​Mammals: A rare sighting of white bats and a magnificent anteater, along with several active monkeys. ​Avian Life: Stunning views of Scarlet Macaws and Toucans. ​If you are looking for a guide who combines professional expertise with a genuine love for nature, I cannot recommend Jovonni highly enough. This tour was easily the highlight of our trip.

Nice little walk - Good little walk. Mostly bird watching. Not the guides fault if most animals aren’t out. We did see monkeys and lots of birds and lizards.
