What our clients say about us

Adam Walleyn
2, Ecuador - Northern: Ultimate Amazon II 2025

Adam was an incredible leader! He was patient, clear with the schedule/expectations, and was always on time. Our group had some challenging members and he managed a variety of personalties with such grace. I am not a birder myself and attended this trip to support my sister in this hobby. Adam made this trip fun for me and really went out of his way to make sure I was seeing everything and was having a good time. I would absolutely go on another tour with Adam!

Dušan Brinkhuizen
ES & JS, Ecuador 2018

Dušan Brinkhuizen is a wonderfully skilled birder and he readily shares his enthusiasm for birds and their environments. He is also skilled in Spanish and knowledgeable about the country.

Tuomas Seimola
LV, Ecuador 2022

Overall the three consecutive tours were very very good. Tuomas was a superb, highly experienced/knowledgeable leader. It is amazing all the songs and calls he has mastered. He was most congenial, patient and always helpful to everyone. Highly recommend him as a leader. Local leaders and staff were all very good and most kind. Accommodations were comfortable and food was very tasty and well prepared.

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.

Lev Frid
DK & NK, Ecuador 2021

We really enjoyed the tour. Lev did a great job. We will look forward to booking again
