Costa Rica Sampler Reviews

5 Rating 45 Reviews

Jan 18 - 29, 2026 | Costa Rica hosts an incredible range of habitats and birds along with very good infrastructure. If you have limited time or want a shorter birding tour, this tour takes in the birding highlights of the country. At each location we find new members of these Neotropical families – tanagers, trogons, toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, and much more!

“The variety of ecosystems was just great. And the travel between them was well planned so never did it feel like there was wasted time. I will use Eagle Eye again.”

“This was my first tour with Eagle-Eye, and first guided birding tour, but I was very impressed with all aspects of the tour, and especially the guides. Ernesto and Paz were exceptional at finding and identifying the birds, and making sure every group member had a good look at each sighting. Their passion for birds and the natural environment translated to a wonderful and meaningful experience every day. I also appreciated the focus on safety. An amazing experience all-around!”

“Our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable about both the birds and the areas that we visited. We saw well over 300 birds on our tour - I especially appreciated how quickly they could get the bird lined up on their spotting scopes so we could have an excellent view of them.”

“What can I say - the food was delicious; the accommodations were very comfortable with birding opportunities at our doorstep; Ernesto was amazing, knowing every bird by sight and sound; our bus driver, Gorje drove us safely to every spot, waiting patiently until we saw every bird; and of course, the birds we saw were incredible!! A trip to remember forever.”

“Even before our tour ended, I told my partner that we should probably not go on another tour because we would be disappointed. The Costa Rica. Sampler Tour we took was fabulous on all counts! The birding was fantastic, the guides, including the bus driver, were outstanding, we visited many interesting sites in Costa Rica, we learned a lot about the country and the tour participants were a pleasure to travel and interact with. What an experience! And, I am happy to say that we have taken some more Eagle Eye Tours and they were memorable as well.”
