Wonderful trip Wonderful trip. knowledgeable guides. Nice diversity of wildlife. Only recommendation would be to make it easier for working professionals to attend would be to have it start on a Saturday or Sunday and conclude on a Friday afternoon or Friday evening. That way people could return home and be back to work on Monday.

We experienced a photo tour in Ecuador We experienced a photo tour in Ecuador, organized by Tropical Birding with our leader, Pablo. The trip exceeded our expectations. Pablo has been a perfect leader, friendly and caring. We were able to photograph 32 different species of hummingbirds. The multi-flash sessions were very satisfying. The food was very good, especially at Tandayapa Lodge, where the new chef, Luis, dazzled us. This was our first trip with Tropical Birding and it was a great success. Michel

Amazing Trip to Costa Rica, Pura Vida!! We had a wonderful experience. The accommodations were comfortable, safe & had every amenity we asked for. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, patient and flexible according to our needs and desires. The food was plentiful, varied and very good. The birds we saw were extraordinary! Thank you so much for a fantastic trip, we would definitely use Tropical Birding again. Love Fito Downs and our driver, Mauricio.

Costa Rica Introtour 2018 A great tour with a great guide, Scott Olmstead. His knowledge of birds and ability to find them was fantastic. Birders often have interests in other parts of the natural world, and Scott had something to offer in many areas there as well (8 life frogs, woo-hoo!). Best of all, though, was his attitude throughout the trip. He was always patient, quick with a smile or laugh, and generally had exactly the sort of calm personality one wants to be around when going through the early mornings and long, hot days of a tropical excursion.

Outstanding company Outstanding company! We have done a lot of tours with Tropical Birding all around the world, and have always enjoyed each and every one of them. The guides are all "first class" and extremely knowledgeable. Not only that, they are personable and some of them have become great friends over the years. While setting up tours (especially private tours) takes more time than going with "set departures" TB really works hard to make each experience a great one and puts a lot of time into meeting our expectations, because we often have a very limited "hit list." If you've never traveled with TB, give it a try! We think you'll be as pleased with this company as we have been.
