Jason was a Great Guide

Jason was a fantastic guide and led us straight to the Quetzals - we would never have found them by ourselves. He knew their recent habitat and by listening for their call quickly located one. Later in the morning he took us to a nesting location and with his spotting scope we were able to get fantastic videos of the Quetzals going to and coming from the nests. He was very helpful, interesting to listen to, and knew great places for breakfast and lunch.

I met Jason for the first time last year and did different tours with him. As my experience was nothing less then excellent, and I returned to Costa Rica this year I did a few trips with him again. One of the trips was going to San Gerardo de Dota to see the Quetzal. I did this tour with one other guest and Jason (of course) didn’t disappoint as a guide. He is the best. He knows his birds, knows their calls and (maybe most important), he knows how to spot them. We saw quetzals as well as many other beautiful birds. We also went to 2 restaurants during this tour (breakfast and lunch). Food was nice, but the best part were the gardens of the restaurant with feeders….also saw many many species of birds over there. I fully recommend Jason as your guide when taking trips in and from the Quepos/ Manuel Antonio area.
