David is amazing! - We had a wonderful tour with David! He is very knowledgeable and we were lucky enough to spot several amazing birds, including quetzals, a toucanet, and a mot-mot. David helped us take beautiful photos through his scope. Highly recommend!

Wonderful daytime guided experience - The park has so many different areas with the opportunity to see many different specifies! Our guide Dennis was like a magician- pointing his scope into seemingly endless green and finding incredible birds and animals! We saw three sets of nests with baby birds, including CR Toucans! You can sometimes see monkeys, sloths, quetzals (!), toucans, and on and on.

Outstanding experience with an amazing guide! - My family and I spent the first of our two days in Monteverde exploring Curi-Cancha, and I'm so glad we chose to book a guided tour. Our guide, Deyber, had a great sense of humor and was deeply knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, and history of the forests in Monteverde. We were happy just to learn so much from him, but we also had the immense luck of seeing both a quetzal and sloth, as well as a tarantula, agouti, and many other species of birds and insects. On our second day in Monteverde, we explored the cloud forests via the Selvatura hanging bridges (self-guided), and our experience was so much richer because of all that we had learned from Deyber about the ecosystem on our tour the day before. I can't recommend this experience enough — it's one my family will never forget. Thanks, Deyber!

Exciting and memorable tour to Curicancha Preserve with the best tour guy in the industry. - Our tour guide was Deyber. Our tour with him to Curicancha Preserve was a highlight of our entire trip to Costa Rica. Deyber was very knowledgeable about flora and fauna of the area. Very detailed and personal, he made us to feel special and was eager to make an extra mile to make our tour memorable.

Great Tour with Roy - I was the only customer so had the guide to myself. Roy was very knowledgeable and kind. It was disappointing not to see the Quetzal they can’t guarantee those things I understand. I saw so many hummingbirds. It would make your head spin. It was very peaceful there, so that’s nice overloaded with tourists.

Very nice bird tour - I really liked the friendly and knowledgeable guide that did our tour. We had enough time and spent over 3 hours. We saw a lot of birds and were even lucky enough to see an amardillo. The tour was mainly about birds, and I expected the wildlife tour to be a little more about wildlife in general, not so much about birds, but still, it was very nice. What I actually found a little disappointing was that they wrote in the description "private tour", "only your group" will attend, but they did not write if there needs to be a minimum amount of persons of "our" group. We ended up doing the tour with another couple, and this was not what I imagined, even if anyone were friendly of cause.

Entertaining hike through the cloud forest - Wonderful, entertaining hike through the cloud forest. Jorge showed us hummingbirds, snakes, capuchin monkeys and much more. We also met coatis, but unfortunately no sloths... well, that's nature. Very good guide in 3 languages (Spanish, English, French).
