Full Day Birdwatching Experience

We had a big group of 6 couples and we had a great time. George handled the group well and everyone got to see and learn so much. As a guide George is a professional, able to recognize calls and spot birds instantly. Passion for wildlife is real and contagious through this experience. Plus a great host for all things Monteverde, and in general a fun companion for your trip.

After visiting Monteverde five times, I am convinced that George is the best guide you will find in the area. I used George as a guide for a solo trip a couple of years ago, and most recently while traveling in Costa Rica with my 15-month old and my mother and her two friends. George was so helpful with my baby, carrying my backpack while I carried my babe in a carrier. He was patient with my elderly mother and her friends, allowing us to rest and take a break when needed. He made sure our tours were accessible to my mom and her friends, while still seeing some of the most beautiful birds and animals. George was our guide for hanging bridges, a night tour, birding and a walk to the Continental Divide. He is a very talented photographer, so he will get great photos of you and your family and all of the beautiful things you see. George is well-loved and respected in the community, which means when you come across other guides on your treks, they will tell him the location of where they have recently seen the hard to find animals, like the quetzal! Every time I visit Monteverde, I see new beautiful birds and animals because George is on top of his game. ????????????????????????

George was an amazing guide, responsive, easy to work with and fun to be around! I was a solo traveler and he was able to accommodate me which i was delighted to hear. On our tour day, he was prompt and on-time and wanted to hear what my goals for the day were so that he could tailor my experience as best as possible. It was an awesome experience in which i got to see and photograph all of my goal birds that day (specifically the Resplendent Quetzal) and even some others that i didn’t expect! Not only that, but I never felt rushed or slowed down with George and was able to take in as much or as little that i wanted of any given place we visited. Lastly, George knows something about everything in monteverde, and he’s happy to share with you his great knowledge about the flora and fauna as well as history and cultural knowledge (he’s a local) of this amazing place! 10/10 would book again!
