100/10!! Bird watchers that are unfamiliar with the area and local species this is a MUST. Pick up was very easy. Our guide Dauren was far and away one of the most talented bird guides of all time. It’s about 2 1/2 hours of straight birding and we got to see about 50 different species of birds. Not to mention a 3 toed sloth, howler monkeys, and poison dart frogs. Breakfast was great and there were options for everyone, including gluten free. Juice coffee fruit and a main. All the while you get to watch a plethora of birds feed on local fruit. A mot mot actually stood on our table to eat a piece of scrambled eggs. Very enjoyable highly recommend.

Saw so many exotic birds thanks to Dauren who has 32 years of experience birding. We saw two kinds of toucans and had a delicious breakfast at the oasis.

Great tour. I got to see some species i hadn't seen before which is always nice. Both the guide and driver were great. It's a shame more people don't book this tour. But it worked out for me as I had a private tour.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about birds and vegetation! He asked us if we wanted to find a specific type of bird and worked to do his best to ensure we would see one, which we did! Breakfast in front of the bird feeders was a perfect way to end the tour! Would definitely recommend !

Aron was an excellent and flexible guide, and had an amazing ear for identifying birds. We had a great time on this tour, pleasing for everyone from experienced to new birders. Only 4 on the trip, and we went to multiple stops, wherever the birds could be found. Saw everything from a Keel-billed toucan to a pair of Barred Antshrikes and a crew of Scarlet-thighed Dacnis. The trip ended with breakfast in front of birdfeeders, where Crested Guans joined us for a meal.
I would have liked for it to be a longer trip, but otherwise, highly recommended.
