Moderate to easy. Suitable for most birding / wildlife interest levels.
Comfortable.
Mostly easy, with several tricker forest species. Garden & lodge birding typically provides good visuals of most species.
Good. Lots of fruit & hummingbird feeders. Photography more difficult within closed forest canopy.
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!
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.
I can say it was a great tour. Forrest and Richard were fantastic leaders. I would bird with them anywhere.
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.
Super tour and the excellent guiding services were made even better by the presence of our driver who could be a bird guide in his own right.
