Juan wasn't as experienced a guide as some but he was very friendly and we enjoyed the hike. We did spot a quetzal and a toucan, so it was worth it for sure.

The guide was Mr. Denise who was so kind and professional to find so many birds. The tour also include admission fee, so you can enjoy the forest by only reserving the tour.

We had the most amazing tour with Deniz this morning, he was brilliant from start to finish. Very passionate about what he does and very knowledgeable. He was polite, we didn’t feel rushed could go at our pace and we got the most out of our experience and we would highly recommend.

Amazing your through the forest with Olman. Saw so many wonderful birds and got to learn so about the first and the eco-tourism industry in Costa Rica that is working to protect it's precious habitats. Never went bird watching before but this was so much fun and we appreciated that Olman didn't like crowds so to us on paths visited by few people which meant that we got amazing shots of birds. Highly recommend!

Dennis was an expert guide and very friendly! He was able to find birds and wildlife that were difficult to see and other guides followed his lead. He was an amazing guide!

Wonderful experience! Our guide Jean was extremely knowledgeable and his enthusiasm was positively infectious. We spent more than 2.5 hours and he was very responsive to our questions and wishes, it was a treat to have such expert guidance. The absolute highlight was spotting two male quetzals competing for the attention of a female, with lots of aerial acrobatics. But we also spotted a tarantula, stick bug, nesting hummingbirds, and plenty of songbirds. Jean’s lens captured it all, making it possible to also capture on our phones. The highlight of our trip!

Dennis was an excellent guide. He was fun, knowledgeable, and brought the wilderness to life for our children. We saw much more with him than we would have on our own.

We had a great experience at the cloud forest thanks to a fantastic guided tour. Without Dennis we wouldn’t be able to find the Quetzal in the big cloud forest I think!
