Overview

The Birdwatching Tour is a 2-hour birdwatching tour in La Fortuna that starts at 6:00 a.m. on our 30-acre rainforest reserve, 1 km from the central park. A bilingual naturalist guide with a spotting scope and binoculars leads a small group of 2 to 10 people to find and identify birds and other wildlife. It costs $70 per adult and $40 per child, VAT not included, with entrance and transport from La Fortuna.

Starting at first light gives you the cool hours of the morning on the trail. Your guide brings the spotting scope and binoculars, so you do not need your own equipment.
