46 species logged in this birding tour. Sergio was fantastic at spottin, and identifying different species. We saw all but 1 heron that's in Costa Rica 12 species that were ranked as either infrequent or unreported in the area in the ebird app. It was a great moring. I recommend this tour.
So cool!

⸻ We had a wonderful time on this bird watching tour with Sergio! He was very knowledgeable and clearly knew where to find all the best spots. We even saw toucans up close, which was amazing! The whole experience was calm, pleasant, and perfect for anyone who wants to appreciate nature without rushing. He also helped us get great photos. Highly recommend!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Sergio, he is an expert in his craft. He took us all throughout the jaco and surrounding areas to find all sorts of birds. He had so much knowledge of each species and knew exactly where to find them. Not only did he have a great amount of knowledge of birds but all flora and fauna in the local area. We’re looking forward to coming back and taking another tour with him, we saw so many birds but also other wildlife. This is a tour we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you Sergio.

We had a great birding trip in a couple different habitat types. Sergio was fabulous and guided in a way that was appropriate to the level of interest & skill in our group. It was fun to talk birds and I would happily hire Sergio again. It's obvious that Sergio knows & loves birds!

Sergio was amazing. Knowledgeable about all animals and plant life. Due to it being private we were able to be patient and see more than the large tour groups. Highly recommend!
Amazing vision and knowledge

Sergio took us to three locations in a three hour tour - shoreline, a fishing village and a national park (jungle) - and he found beautiful species wherever we went, almost 30 in all. His ability to spot birds, monkeys and even a bat is so impressive. His knowledge of ecology extends beyond bird watching, his English is excellent, and his client focus impeccable. The experience overall was like exploring bird habitat with a good (very knowledgeable) friend. I highly recommend Sergio’s private tours. You have his full attention, you can hear everything that he says and there’s no waiting while everybody in the group gets to see what he is pointing out.
Excellent birdwatching with a local guide

A terrific and personal one-on-one birdwatching trip in the vicinity of Jaco. Sergio was excellent, and I was able to see macaws, toucans and many other species through the spotting scope.
Outstanding

I needed to cancel my experience with Sergio, unfortunately, but I would like to thank him for his flexibility and willingness to accept the cancellation. My impression is that Sergio is a person who strives to meet his customers' needs, and I have no doubt that his tours are excellent.
