What a great experience! Our guide, Marvin was outstanding. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. My mom, who is an avid birder saw 16 birds she had never seen before! I highly recommend this tour (and especially Marvin!).

Great birding tour

Tara_F, Mar 2023

Fantastic tour! We are novice birders & saw 35 species in the Manuel Antonio area (rural farm land sort of area). It ended up being a private tour which was great. Our guide was great. We didn’t consider ourselves “birders” when we came to CR, but we definitely left as “birders”.

Hi Tara, We are very happy to hear from you how much you enjoy the expertise of our guide, and how much you definitely learned about Costa Rican birds. Thank you Very much.

Best experience in 3 week trip to Costa Rica

David_J, Feb 2023

Marvin was an excellent guide for the 6 of us. Two of us were experienced birders but the other 4 had never been birding before. Marvin was able to make it a interesting and exciting trip for all of us. He knew the area well and could quickly find and identify birds. This experience came in the last days of our 3 week trip to Panama and Costa Rica. All of us agreed that by far it was the best experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hello David, We are very proud of having Marvins as part of our nturalist certified tour guides. Even so, our major happinest comes when we hear about how much you enjoyed it. Thank you very much for your visit. Hope you come back soon

Awesome bird watching tour!

Sara_D, Jun 2022

This was an amazing bird watching tour. Marvin was very knowledgeable about every bird that we saw. He knew the birds we were most interested in seeing and made sure to point them out. You have to get up early in the morning when the birds are most active but I highly recommend it!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Hello Sara, We highly appreciate your visit as well your recommendations, thank you for giving us your feedback on how this experience was for you. We hope you visit again soon.

Amazing Birding experience

haroon79, Apr 2022

One of the most amazing birds trip I have had in a while. Marvin is extremely knowledgeable and and an extremely pleasant personality. It was a pure joy looking for birds early morning. With Marvins knowledge and some luck from the day we were able to see quite a few birds on the trip that were on my checklist. Highly recommended this tour with Marvin.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you Haroon, we highly appreciate your visit, as well your feedback. Marvin loves birds and he is very passionate at his work. He was very happy to for the checked targets and for the owl eating the tanager. Thank you Haroon, best regards

Scarlet macaw flying over head

Emma_N, Jan 2020

Great little birding tour -- saw about 34 species just up and down the road. Saw a bunch of scarlet macaws -- one even flew right over us! Great tour for the price. Really enjoyed it!

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Greetings from Travel Costa Rica Tours staff. We highly appreciate it your excellent qualification. Thank you for supporting us. As mentioned on the commentary, our company started some months ago offering this activity which is easy to operate and economically accesible for people interesting on local birds. This is the best local tour to see toucans and scarlet macaws a in natural habitat. Thank you again and hopefully we get you back soon. Thank you very much.
