The early bird gets the worm! The morning starts at 5:00 am or 5:30 am when we scoop you up at your hotel (Early afternoon tour recomended only in dry season) Your birding experience begins after a short drive to beautiful rural Costa Rica. Away from the main tourist trails, there are many popular places among local bird watchers.

We will provide you with a field guide to track the birds you see throughout the morning. You will find species native only to Costa Rica! Of course we will provide you with our ATX or BTX Swarovski high definition scope. You will have the chance to capture professional quality photos and HD videos of Costa Rica’s unique birds!
