    Wonderful Experience

    Scott_V, Apr 2025
    We had the most fabulous tour of Cabo Blanco and Curu national parks. Our tour guide (Douglas M) really knew his stuff. His knowledge of plants, history and animals was excellent. He pointed out so many animals and birds that we would have missed. The tour company was timely and picked us up and dropped off at our AirBNB. We highly recommend these tours and would tour again with Douglas.

    We had a wonderful time with a group of five, led by Ernesto who was an outstanding driver, guide, spotter, and photographer with extensive knowledge of Curu and all of the flora and fauna. In about four hours we saw a mind-bending array of animals including white faced capuchin monkeys - dozens, up close! - a crocodile, deer, iguanas, bats, exotic birds, and many more - plus really detailed descriptions of various trees, insects, and other aspects of the ecosystem. Ernesto spotted these animals for us and used a telescope for close looks and to capture digital photos on our phones for posterity. He was courteous, genuinely passionate about the environment, and had a fun sense of humor. He even made artistic objects for us out of palm fronds! The day ended with snacks and a trip to the beach. Yhe whole day was a great experience. Thank you Ernesto! Highly recommend.

    Such a great tour of CR wild life

    Douglas is the most knowledgeable, amazing tour guide I met in CR. He is extremely informative, friendly, respectful and a wonderful personality.

    Je conseille cette visite...

    Je conseille cette visite à tous. Notre guide était passionné des oiseaux notamment et nous avons pu observer des spécimens que jamais nous n’aurions pu observer sans sa présence. Et que dire des singes! Magnifique!
