What our clients say about us

Jehudy Carballo
CL, Costa Rica 2024

The tour guide Jehudy Carballo was excellent - extremely knowledgeable and nice. Even the driver Pablo was knowledgeable about birds and together they worked very well. I would definitely recommend this tour - all the lodges were amazing, the schedule was very well organized and food was delicious. We saw so many birds, it was absolutely amazing!

Jehudy Carballo
IW, Costa Rica 2024

Jehudy was a brilliant guide, always going above and beyond to find birds for us. His knowledge was superb and was always willing to share and educate us. Regarding the group, he managed us in an informal but very organised manner so the tour ran smoothly. He was kind, considerate and ready to listen. Pablo, the driver, was also wonderful with a smile and chat every morning. An excellent birder himself, he was always supporting Jehudy in the search for birds. Between them, they provided a tour that I will always remember.

PG, Costa Rica 2024

This was a seriously enjoyable tour. To be fair though it would be hard to NOT enjoy a bird tour to this lovely country. Still the accommodation was good, Jehudy kept a diverse group interested and coordinated with his high level of expertise, responsiveness to individual needs and great birding knowledge—And the birds just kept coming.

Adam Walleyn
MP, Costa Rica 2022

Adam and the local guide, were exceptionally good, both at making sure the logistics were taken care of and locating, identifying and making sure all of us on the tour saw the bird. Both were the finest I've ever experienced at identifying birds by their calls. All in all, a really terrific trip with over 300 species of birds sighted! A special shout-out for Hotel Robledal. While the hotel is older, the family that owns and runs it are wonderful hosts with an exceptional appreciation for the environment. Returning to Hotel Robledal at the end of the trip felt like coming home. Thanks Rockjumper, for a terrific trip! "
