Amazing Birding Trip - We had the most amazing birding trip with our guide Jose. He was so informative and showed us more birds than we even imagined in the few hours we were together. Highly recommend this company!

Best bird watching in Arenal - The night before our 5 am bird watching tour we heard thunderous rainfall and were very hesitant to go on the tour. Since the weather in Costa Rica especially in mountainous areas can be very local, we decided to go, and we are very glad we did as we had an amazing bird watching experience with Jose. He was outstanding in the trip and made that morning one of the highlights of our Costa Rican vacation. This trip turned out to be a private tour from a group tour since my wife and I were the only ones on the tour. Jose was both the driver and the guide, and he was just outstanding. We spent the next three hours in misty rain, cloud, wind and then a whole lot of sun shine in Arenal Observatory Lodge and Trails. We saw many more birds in this one morning compared to all birds we saw in our 12-day Costa Rican trip. Apart from birds, the plants and trees were so unique and breathtaking. We capped off the morning trip with a breakfast at the farm, which was very nice by itself. The whole area is so fertile with so many different plants and trees thanks to the constant rain and sunshine. I would strongly recommend Jacamar, especially Jose for any trip.

Fabulous birding tour! - I had a fabulous birding tour at Arenal Observatory lodge with Diego Nunez on Jan 17th. This is certainly a fantastic birding hotspot! From the minute we walked onto the viewing platform there were birds all around. With the birds feeders, and the open area with hummingbird flowers, along with the rain forest trails and even the trees around the parking lot we saw over 30 varieties of birds, many of them "lifers" for me. Diego was great at helping me find them, getting the scope on them and taking photos with my iPhone through the scope when I had trouble getting photos with my telephoto camera. Another highlight was ascending the 38m observation tower for the amazing 360 degree views over top of the canopy. More birds were seen at the bird tables of La Finquita - Jacamar Tours breakfast spot, the grand finale to a wonderful tour.

Excellent bird watching experience - Our naturalist gave us an excellent bird watching experience. The day of our trip, it was pouring rain. The company accommodated our request to reschedule for the following day. They took us to see many wild birds. Ronald was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. This was the best excursion of our trip. I highly recommend this tour company and the specific bird watching tour.

Memorable visit - We went for a bird tour with José around the Arenal volcano. We were amazed by the nature and birds, but the experience was really unique with José. He knows so many things about the birds but also about the plants and animals. After the tour, we had a typical Costa Rican breakfast and finally, we saw some sloths, it was so hard to spot them but our guide had the eye !
Many thanks José again for this memorable tour, we can only recommend you to do it !

Afternoon Bird Watching - We did the afternoon bird watching and the day turned out to be rainy. Our guide warned us that the rain could limit the amount of birds we would see, but that they have various places they go and based on the rain they had selected a place. It was fabulous and we did get sun at the very end.
We went to the arenal observatory lodge, where they have an amazing view of the volcano, the lake, trails, and a HUGE fruit bird feeding station. The variety of birds we saw from big to small at the fruit feeding station was amazing. We then walked the trails and saw other bird species. At the very end we were lucky enough to get sun and when we got back to the beginning we were able to see those amazing views of the volcano and lake. Our guide was able to identify all the birds except one. I would highly recommend this tour.

Nighttime Jungle Walk - Our guide, Julio, was excellent. We saw so many creatures such as a tarantula, walking stick, many types of frogs including a poison dart frog, katydid, and cicada, we finished the evening with a delicious homemade snack. We had a great time.

Birdwatching Costa Rica - Bernardo took us out on a February morning near the volcano. He was fantastic!
In no time at all, we saw many birds - the highlight of which was the common pootoo, which was completely camouflaged in a tree. I have no idea how he spotted it! Great morning, and we would book him again!
