We had a super fun tour with Nestor, who was really knowledgeable about all the animals, 10/10!Publicado en Annie BrittonTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Our birding tour at the Arenal Observatory Lodge with Richard was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate and a great companion for the day. We found that the other tours in the area didn't have the depth of knowledge that we were hoping for, so we booked last minute with Richard and are SO glad we did. His ear for birds is so incredible and we were able to see 30+ new species in one morning with him, including trogons, warblers, flycatchers, tanagers, hummingbirds, manakins, and others. I cannot recommend a tour with Birding and Nature Fortuna enough. The pricing is extremely fair for the quality of guiding and the booking process was easy! If we could do it again, I'd book every tour we took on our trip through Birding and Nature Fortuna ☺️🦜Publicado en Paige BellamyTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Richard is so knowledgeable and passionate! We had such a wonderful sloth walk and night tour with him. He also responded with helpful tips the following day about where to see the birds we were looking for. Book with Richard!! You won’t be disappointed.Publicado en j nessTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Gaby was phenomenal. Her passion for conservation and the species Costa Rica works hard to protect made every part of this tour special. She was so intelligent and warm, and taught us so much. It was a wonderful experience.Publicado en Rebecca BTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We had a wonderful night walk at Papa’s Place with Gaby. She is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, but it is her passion and enthusiasm for nature that made the experience unforgettable for our group. Ask for Gaby!Publicado en Marissa DiggsTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We had a fantastic tour with Richard through the hanging bridges at Mistico Park! We spotted lots of motmots, woodcreepers, a violet-headed hummingbird, an eyelash pit viper, and a tarantula. Richard took excellent photos for us through his scope, and days later, we're still looking through them and reminiscing on our trip. We highly recommend Birding and Nature Fortuna and Richard!Publicado en Joseph BoucreeTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Shouts out to our guide Richard, from Birding and Nature Fortuna for our night walk last night. If you're looking for a guide, Richard was amazing. Super friendly and knowledgeable. We managed to see a a bunch of awesome species that I was looking for, and he went above and beyond to try find some on my checklist. Obviously nature will do what it wants, so we didn't find everything, but we found a lot!! I'll probably hang out with him again when I come back to Costa Rica.Publicado en Kate AveryTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Our guide and experience were outstanding. Easy to navigate process to book. I don’t think there was ANYTHING we could have asked Aaron that would have stumped him. He had ALL the fun facts! He knew what seemed like everything about the area, geology, local flora, fauna, and historical events that impacted the current ecosystem. He was great and accommodating and shared fantastic picture and videos. We would have seen ‘green’ without him.Publicado en Isabella GlennTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Luis was truly an incredible guide. His knowledge was never ending and his love and passion for his work was obvious! Such a great experience and I can’t recommend enough.Verificado por: TrustindexLa insignia verificada de Trustindex es el símbolo universal de confianza.
