What our clients say about us

Forrest Rowland
SP, Cost Rica 2015

I can say it was a great tour. Forrest and Richard were fantastic leaders. I would bird with them anywhere.

Adam Riley
RS

Adam is an extremely hard working, energetic and enthusiastic person who is able to remain calm and collected under extreme pressure and is always willing to help and assist anyone in need. His ability to find elusive birds for clients is legendary and almost miraculous. He is not feint-hearted and never daunted by challenging circumstances.

Jehudy Carballo
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.

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.

Robert Wilcox
JK, Costa Rica

Bobby Wilcox was a good guide. Calm and knowledgeable. The food and accommodation were both very good, Better than I expect.
