Fantastic day with a most knowledgeable and professional guide

Sarah_M, Jul 2026

Fabio has many years of experience as a birding guide, but his passion for it makes the time with him more than just a birding outing. We enjoyed it from start to finish - excellent communication before and after the trip, very comfortable vehicle for climbing the steep dirt roads into the mountains, and very, very knowledgeable with eyes like a… hawk (sorry!). We were driving down the mountain road towards the end of our trip and he suddenly braked and told us to hop out - he’d spotted a mixed group of raptors in a current above us and we spent another ten minutes watching them circle and wheel. He is persistent in pursuit of species, knowing where each likes to spend time and when during the day. I expressed excitement about the possibility of seeing a particular bird and he pointed to a large shrub saying that was the kind it preferred. Almost as the words were coming out of his mouth one of the birds flew into an upper branch. To say it was a successful day is an understatement. We had a remarkably wonderful experience, and we highly recommend Fabio to other birding enthusiasts. Enthusiasts, obsessors, experts, whatever. You’ll be glad you spent some time with him in his world.

Escaped the crowds and the tour exceeded our expectations

This experience is well-worth the cost, as it includes alot of time and also a great breakfast, but most importantly a local expert who has great experience with locating wildlife. We were picked up right at our hotel and started viewing even on the drive out of Quepos / Manuel Antonio. It was great to see so many species in such a short amount of time. Fabio's attention to detail and our interests was extremely appreciated. He is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and where to find it, and joins in on taking pictures when there's a great find. He even got in touch with another tour operator whom we had scheduled for a night tour later, to make sure we were connected with a good guide. Highly recommended if you are into birding or photography, or just want to skip the very crowded park and see and hear wildlife in a more natural environment.

Fabio is fabulous

Fabio was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and professional. Explained so much. Helped us with pictures using his spotting scope. The reserve was amazing. This was our favorite birding walk of our vacation.
