Unique and memorable experience - Samantha is a wonderful birder and guide.. If you are able to get a hike with her, we encourage you to do so. We have been on many nature hikes/tours in Costa Rica. This stands out as one of the best because of the way she personalized the experience. We walked a property with a variety of habitats and trails and saw many species. Then she took us to her house nearby where we ate a home cooked breakfast and enjoyed a beautiful view. She even serenaded us on guitar with a lovely song she had composed herself. For us, this was a unique and memorable experience….the frosting on the cake!

Far Beyond Expectations! Wow! - Our fantastic guide Samantha was truly passionate about birds and nature in general. She gave us all not only views of multiple stunning birds, but also lots of information on them. We were able to get some amazing photos, and to top it off, we were able to enjoy some delightful food and music afterwards. I couldn't recommend more!!

Great birding tour at Oro Verde - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. Samantha was an excellent guide, very skilled at finding and identifying the birds we saw as we toured her family’s property. The 3 hour birding tour was followed up with a wonderful traditional Costa Rican breakfast, and Samantha playing Costa Rican folk songs on her guitar, how can you beat that?

So much More than Bird Watching! - Samantha far exceeded our expectations!!!she was incredibly knowledgeable about the local bird, spotting them in dense forest and doing bird calls. We are new to learning about birding and she was patient with our questions and explained things well. She also was very knowledgeable about plants, which is a love of mine and was a super bonus. We saw many species of birds that we wouldn't have without her good eye. Her mother made an excellent traditional Gallo pinto and coffee while Samantha suprised us with yet another excellent skill, singing and playing a song she wrote on the guitar while we ate. The view from their kitchen was wide open from the mountains looking at the Marino Ballena, Whale Tail. This was a gift to my partner and we loved it. Thank you Samantha!!!

You won’t regret it - A truly amazing 3 plus hours with Samantha. She is an outstanding guide who knows her stuff. We saw a large variety of birds, parrots, toucans, hummingbirds to name a few. The breakfast was delicious and topped off with a beautiful music performance!

Birds watching incredible tour - Sami knows everything about birds! She's very helpful. Breakfast at the family house was so nice and delicious. Sami played the guitar and sang while we were eating. The view of the whale tail from the house is breathtaking. A must do

Bird Watching for all levels of birders - great way to see the beauty and nature - Small, intimate bird watching tour with a fantastic daughter/father team. We saw 32 species of birds in 3 hours in both an open setting and in the jungle. Sam and her father were enthusiastic, knowledgeable and eager to find as many birds as possible using bird calls, bird sound machines, bird apps, etc. They have a sighting scope for up close viewing of the beautiful colors of the birds. Their ability to spot the birds in the dense jungle was amazing. Bird watching was followed by a delicious Costa Rican breakfast prepared in their home with stunning views of the ocean. It was very personal and special. One of the highlights of our trip to Uvita.
