5.00Natalie was wonderful - very knowledgeable and great at finding and showing us birds. She was also great at taking photos of the birds through a spotting scope. We even saw a few rare birds! This was a wonderful tour. We walked 4km: bring comfy shoes and bug spray.

5.00Knowledgeable guide who took her time and explained the birds and animals that we saw. She recognized bird calls and could spot them well. We saw all 3 species of toucan, both 2 and 3 toed sloths, a lizard, dragon flies, butterflies, howler monkeys, and about 20 or so different species of birds. We booked a private tour but ended up having one other couple with us and it worked out great. Small groups or private are the way to go!
Clary is Amazing!

5.00Our experience with Clary was fantastic . As fellow nature nerds, we were incredibly impressed at her breadth of knowledge of wildlife in the area and talent for spotting creatures in the forest. We even saw monkeys, sloths, and caymans in addition to the birds. For any bird or nature lovers looking for an in-depth, intellectually stimulating tour, we recommend Clary 100%.

5.00Amazing experience and a very knowledgeable guide that knew all about each bird and where to spot them. This was our first bird watching experience and we are now definitely keen to do something like that again. The rainforest birds and animlas are amazing start, too. Highly recommended!

5.00Natalia was absolutely fantastic - firsthand knowledge where one might find birds (not necessarily just following pipeline road), and an excellent ear for finding them. Understood my goal of photography and helped facilitate the right conditions for that. She has a great eye for finding what many other people, miss (including other guides). Highly recommend if you’re looking for the real experience.

5.00We had a great time on our birdwatching tour today. Thanks to Clari’s knowledge and experience, we saw tens and tens of birds of different species and had a lovely walk in the rainforest down Pipeline Road, which is stunning. I am so glad we chose to go, and thank you Clari.
