We had an outstanding experience with Costa Rica Focus on our private two-person birding and photography tour. From the very beginning, Jess was incredibly responsive and worked closely with us to design an itinerary that focused on our target species and interests.
Thanks to her planning, we were able to see and photograph many of the birds and wildlife we had hoped for, including Resplendent Quetzals, Scarlet Macaws in flight, Orange-collared and Long-tailed Manakins, Keel-billed Toucans, and numerous antbird and owl species (including Crested and Spectacled Owl). We also enjoyed seeing poison dart frogs and many other colorful frog species. Howler and capuchin monkeys were also common sights.
The lodges selected for us were among the best nature lodges we have stayed at anywhere, with excellent food, beautiful surroundings, and great access to wildlife. We especially appreciated how Costa Rica Focus accommodated our specific needs, including photography-focused activities and vegetarian meals.
Our guide, Minor, was exceptional. He worked tirelessly to get us great looks at birds and wildlife and even taught us some valuable techniques for capturing sharp bird-in-flight photographs. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and dedication greatly enhanced the trip.
Throughout our journey, Jess regularly checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly, which we really appreciated. Every aspect of the trip was thoughtfully organized and executed, and everything went seamlessly.
We highly recommend Costa Rica Focus to anyone interested in a customized wildlife, birding, or photography trip to Costa Rica. Their attention to detail, excellent guides, outstanding accommodations, and commitment to meeting their clients' needs made this a truly memorable experience.
