Oct 1 - 13, 2026 | From the cloud forests of Tapanti Reserve to the sandy shores of Cahuita, up to the rolling foothills, our Costa Rica: Caribbean birding tour takes in some of the most exciting birdwatching sites this country has to offer. At this time of year, raptor and passerine migration is in full swing with the passage of millions of hawks en route to their wintering grounds. Expect wonderful birdwatching at mid-to-low elevations with a stunning diversity of birds including macaws, toucans, owls and antbirds.

“The thing that made this trip so special for me was that the tour leaders possessed such extensive knowledge about the entire ecosystem. So we didn't just visit the well known birding stops, but were shown some amazing spots that were off the tourist radar. The tour leaders' sharing info about their work in conservation enhanced the entire experience for me and made the trip so much more than I expected.”

“The tour was fast-paced and exhausting at times, but in exchange we got to see a ton of cool things. The hotels we stayed at were lovely, the food was delicious, and I learned a great deal not just about birds, but trees, flowers, frogs, insects, fungi, and much more. With the dream team of Ernesto, Jody, and driver Ricardo, we saw so much more than I expected!”
