Robert did a great job. I see he knows his birds and area well. He came equipped to pick us up, tour many locations and bring us back.

Wow! Robert see's absolutely everything! This was the most amazing experience -- Robert spotted birds and animals and camouflaged insects that I would never have been able to see on my own that were incredibly beautiful! He also has so much knowledge to share about all of the plants and animals in Costa Rica. It was so wonderful to spend the day with such a positive person who is enthusiastic and truly cares about nature. I felt safe and in good hands while learning and experiencing so much of Costa Rica's beauty. I highly recommend!

Second tour we booked! we had a great time learning about Costa Rica’s wildlife and enjoy the sunset at the top of the hill. Robert knows ENG/SPA/GER so the communication was very fluid. Thank you so much! See you next time.

Great experience with guide Adrian in Guanacaste area. We did a half day birding trip with Adrian in the Guanacaste area. The guide picked an excellent area to explore and went very helpful in finding interesting birds. He was personable and easy to communicate with. He was also quite informative. At the end of the tour we went for a delicious lunch.

Roberto was incredible!! We saw sloths, squirrel monkeys, birds, frogs, lizards. He took us down to the beach. Thank you so much for making such incredible memories for my family. Roberto was even nice enough to have dinner with us after a long day of hiking. Thanks for the “FULL SERVICE” experience!!

Roberto is so knowledgeable and could spot animals a mile away! Loved how he used his telescope to help us see everything and took some remarkable pictures on our own phones. Lovely guy. I would highly recommend him!
