The trip was well rounded with as much (or little) action as you like and I loved all of it. The group was great and we had a lot of fun together. Our CEO was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. I would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a couple of active weeks in Costa Rica!

We just returned from the Costa Rica Eco-Adventure (2/1/2025-2/8/2025). This was our sixth Trafalgar trip. was a WONDERFUL tour guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. worked very hard; it was much appreciated! It was a great tour! A couple of things we noticed on this trip, that were different than previous Trafalgar trips . . . We prepaid our gratuities (as we always do). Usually, the tour guide talks about the ability to tip the guides and drivers, and thanks those who have already paid the gratuity. This didn't happen on this trip. We hope he received our prepaid gratuity! Also, on previous trips, it was noted if you had been a previous Trafalgar traveler. This did not happen on this trip. We are proud Trafalgar trip repeaters, which makes us some of your greatest advertisers. One suggestion we had: For our farewell dinner, we went to a restaurant where we could order off the menu. There were 42 of us. It took probably two hours to get our food. It would be better to limit the menu to a couple of appetizers, salads, main entrees and desserts, to make the evening not as long. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. We will be back to travel with Trafalgar again!

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

Join us on this four-hour tour that takes you to one of the most popular birdwatching destinations in Costa Rica. We will meet you at your hotel at 5:15 am and drive you to Arenal Mundo Aventura Natural Park, where we will reach at around 5:30 am. Follow the circuit trail that takes you through a varied landscape including a dense forest, a regenerating forest with pastures and open areas and small streams that allow the observation of a variety of colorful birds. Among the most common birds that can be seen in this place are the great kiskadee, yellow tyrannulet, Montezuma oropendola, wing-barred seedeater, tropical kingbird, red-billed pigeon and the groove-billed ani. In addition to these, this place is also home to less common resident species such as the slaty spinetail, which makes an elaborate nest upon an impressive platform of twigs; and the laughing falcon, a large hawk whose presence is an indicator of a healthy environment. You might even spot a black-cheeked woodpecker and Guianan trogons. Among the aquatic birds in the natural park are the uniform crake and the white-throated crake. The walk will come to an end at around 9:30 am. There is a 30-minute break for a delicious continental breakfast accompanied by juice, fruit and hot coffee. If you prefer a more technical tour that include other types of birds as well, you can choose between nine alternate options and go for a semi-private tour. We will assign a specialized guide by reservation. Among the additional options we offer are birdwatching at Lake Arenal, Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge, Danaus Ecocenter, El Silencio Reserve, Juan Castro Blanco Cloud Forest and Children’s Eternal Rainforest.
