We took two tours with Samuel, night and day. He was an outstanding guide who has over 30 years of experience and knows all the plants and animals of the forest. He gave us a unique, personalized tour that went above and beyond the basic tour experience. He listened closely to our questions and was genuinely interested in what we had to say. His energy and love for the forest is clear. He lives to give these tours and educate visitors about the critical importance of the Cloud Forest. At the end I was wishing we had booked an entire day with him but it didn't work with our travel plans. Don't hesitate to book a tour with him! Pura Vida!

Samuel is an excellent guide. We, a couple from Austria (1 Biologist), had a great bird watching morning tour with Samuel I'm December 2021. He even extended the tour a bit. He knows every single bird and bird voice. He is very focused on an ecological friendly behaviour while being in nature. He does respect nature a lot and expects the same from his tour guests. We really appreciated this. We learned a lot and also had good and interesting chats with him. I've even been "attact" by a Kolibri, hummingbird, which was quite fun. Unfortunately, we forgot to sit down after the tour to ask for a the bird names, but that's on us, since we stayed in the park after the tour.

We would definitely book him again.

Thanks Samuel for this great day!

Samuel led us on a fantastic birding walk through a private reserve. He is very knowledgeable and skilled aiding us in seeing dozens of species we would never have seen on our own. They included toucanets, tocan, quetzal, bell bird, motmott to name a few.  We learnt so much from him and enjoyed his friendly manner. This was one of our trip highlights.  Highly recommend Samuel!
