Fantastic Experience

5.00My guide, Natalia, was extremely knowledgeable, with a keen eye to spot the smallest of birds. When a bird is footed, she got her scope setup in a jiffy so that I could get a terrific view. We saw 2 types of monkeys too! There is nothing that could have been better about the experience. Worth every penny.
Best experience in Panama and would recommend to anyone interested in seeing the beautiful birds of Panama!

5.00Natalia was an incredible guide with in-depth knowledge of the birds in the Pipeline Road area. She was a great spotter of even the tiniest bird sitting on a branch way up in the canopy. She was quick to point out the bird so to enable me to see it before it flew off.
Hummingbird heaven

5.00Our driver was very respectful and prompt. We saw many unique birds. The hummingbird experience was awesome!! I saw at least 5 different species and watched them in their native habitat. Able to take pictures of a lifetime. There was a small language barrier with our guide "Natalia " but she knows her birds and their calls and habits beyond belief! Would recommend this tour! If I come back to Panama I would do it again!!
Wonderful Experience

5.00As a solo female traveler I loved having Natalia as a guide. She knew all the bird songs and how to mimic them and found so many cool birds. I would never have been able to find them on my own. Other people birding the pipeline were even asking me how I found her for a guide. This was a fabulous experience and I added so many lifers to the list!
Great birding trip

5.00Our guide Luis was excellent. We had many sightings and he managed the trip perfectly. He was great with call recognition as well as identification. We highly recommend him as your guide.
