A great guided hiking tour, we didn’t get to see a lot of animals but Roy explained about the plants along the way. The reserve is beautiful.

A once in a lifetime experience. Never expected to see a Resplendent Quetzal but saw not one but 2. Roy is a fabulous guide and he really knows the local flora and fauna. Go with a guide or you'll just walk through the cloud forest without spotting a thing

We drove a lot of road including a great detour to see park. Personally, I don't think it was worth it, but I recommend if it's on your way. It's still pretty impressive the clouds 😊. Note that there is only one suspension bridge (we thought there was more). We should have taken a guide, we hardly saw any animals and I really would have liked to see the famous bird.

Roy was a great tour guide for my family of 5, including two teenagers and an 11 year old. Roy was able to show us several amazing animals, including a Resplendent Quetzal! He also took time teaching us about the forest and its history. Overall it was a great afternoon and we all enjoyed our time with Roy!

Fantastic tour! Booked it last minute on our last night as we really wanted to see a bit more wildlife & you can’t compare going with a guide v alone! We saw so many quetzals, both male & female. Roy was extremely knowledge, learnt so much over our 2-2.5 hours, would highly recommend.
