What our clients say about us

Robert Wilcox
KB, Ecuador - Northern: Ultimate Amazon I 2026

As with previous tours with him, Bobby did a great job and continues impress me with his incredible dedication to getting people on birds and wildlife. He spotted a puma from the bar/viewing area at Sani lodge (the first seen in 15 years according to the local guide) and rather than enjoy the view himself, he didn't hesitate to go running down the boardwalk to get people out of their rooms so they had an opportunity to see it. Just an extreme example of what he did every day for every bird that someone was struggling to see. Our local guide Carlos was also excellent. He did a great job finding birds.

Dušan Brinkhuizen
RK, Ecuador 2022

Another amazing Rockjumper tour with Dusan Brinkhuizen. What a great guide and nice person. The tour was a little more rugged than the description on Rockjumper's website. It is NOT for beginners and this should be discretely mentioned. Nice Eco-lodges, food and friendly staff. Beautiful birds. Would recommend adding one additional night at San Isidro. Only one night doesn't seem fair to see the many birds at that altitude other than requiring birders to take the tour preceding the one I was on. Loved the Amazon Basin.

Dušan Brinkhuizen
JG - Ecuador 2024

Our tour leader, Dusan Brinkhuizen was top-notch. Very knowledgeable, super pleasant, friendly and attentive. Couldn’t ask for better. Our driver, Hector, was also excellent, getting us around. Knew what he was about and what he was doing. Added to the experiences. They kept us on the move to enhance our Ecuador experience--quite the place—past my expectations. Every day was an outstanding array of experiences and adventure. We all got our exercise, but it was quite manageable. Facilities and meals were very good—enjoyed the Ecuadorian cuisine. The group was also most pleasant. Fun and interesting to be with. Would very highly recommend the tour, Duson and Hector. All smiles.

This was my first Rockjumper experience and it was excellent. Dušan Brinkhuizen was amazing at finding birds.

An excellent tour with an excellent guide. Dušan's knowledge of all the vocalizations is exceptional and he made sure I saw almost all the birds the group managed to see.
