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%.
Amazing first bird watching experience

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.
BIRDWATCHING EARLY MORNING IN SOBERANIA NATIONAL PARK/GAMBOA.

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This was an outstanding morning in Soberania National Park. I was looked after by Juan our driver and guide Clarivel. I saw many species of birds; lizards, an agouti, a red-tailed squirrel, howler monkeys; a white-faced capuchin; stunning butterflies; a dragonfly and of course the famous leafcutter ants. Clarivel is extremely knowledgable and has an incredible eye for spotting birds from far away. A 5-star day!
49 bird species in just 5 hours!

5.00Wonderful experience! With Clarivel as our guide we saw 49 bird species, a silky anteater, a troop of Howler monkeys, iguanas and even an agouti. Some of the birding highlights were a Toucan, a Puffbird, a Xenops, a Euphoria, a Woodcreeper, a Shrike vireo, a Tiger Heron, Jacanas, a Crake, Motmots, Trogons, Antshrikes, Antwrens, Antbirds, an Ant-tanager and, needless to say, ants. We are beginner birders and Clarivel was able to help us locate the birds easily.
