Disappointing.

Janie_M, Dec 2024
I booked this tour three months in advance of my trip and was so excited to add tons of birds to my life list. The tour operator canceled on me the night before my tour, said road out of Tamarindo was closed, it wasn’t. I rescheduled for the next day, he canceled again because not enough people were going. I rescheduled for the next day and was put with people on a nature tour, not a birding tour. Spent several hours driving around to different locations to see crocs, iguanas, monkeys and sloths but very few birds. I had paid the operator an extra $50 to go to the rainforest for birds but ended up at a sloth walk where the guide walked too fast to bird and didn’t know many birds when I spotted them. Our driver was very nice so I’m giving a 2 star rating for his sake. The tour operator is unreliable.

Great tour and awesome location

The highlight of the Bird Watching morning was seeing and capturing the Long-tailed Manikins and not only seeing but videoing the two males as they courted a female manikin. The other was finding and photographing the Barred Antshrike. The location for the bird watching tour was great and the fact we didn't have to drive 2 hour or more to get there. For myself I always want more time to spend photographing the birds we find. 2 hours goes by too quickly. The other thing that would make this tour even better is leaving earlier in the morning but our guide was great and I really enjoyed the tour even with the lens/camera issues I was having.
