So many birds and other animals Thanks to the sharp eye of our guide! - Our guide was very informative about the birds. He took his time, explained everything and did his best to search for even the tiniest bird species. We enjoyed so much seeing over 40 species of birds!! As a bonus we saw some other animals too, such as coati, deer, squirrels, bull frog, poisonous green frog, agouti, ...

Great Birding Guide - Jeison was our birding guide for a thoroughly wonderful 5-hour birding tour of Carara. He was able to find birds I wouldn’t have spotted in a million years. His knowledge of birds is vast, but he is also knowledgeable about other flora and fauna in the park. His English is excellent so I was spared having to use my broken Spanish. He is also flexible and worked with our schedule to find the best time for us to visit the park. I highly recommend Jeison as a birding guide, or a more generalized wildlife guide. You will be happy you hired him.

Wonderful birding tour with knowledgeable and personable guide - We had an excellent birding tour with Jeison! His expertise and knowledge of the park helped us see 78 different bird species over the half day tour, including many regionally endemic birds that I needed for my list. I was amazed at how he could name almost every single bird sound we heard, which let us focus on trying to see birds that were new to me. He was also knowledgeable about other wildlife in the park and pointed out other interesting species of monkeys, lizards, plants, and others. He was very personable and flexible with our changing plans. Our tour was a huge highlight of our Costa Rica trip. Highly recommend!

Great Experience! - We had a wonderful time on our bird watching tour at Carara National Park. Armando was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable about not only identifying and finding birds in the park, he was also knowledgeable about the fauna and other creatures in the park. I highly recommend this tour. It was well worth the extra money.

HIGHLY recommend taking a tour with Jeison - This tour was the highlight of our trip! Jeison pointed out many things in the park that we would have easily missed. He captured wonderful photos of the wildlife during the tour. He was also willing to answer some of my general questions about Costa Rica and gave us a wonderful lunch recommendation. You will not be disappointed!

Tarcoles and Carara NP - Went for a 2 week birding trip with a target of 100 different birds. Hired Jeison a couple of times to do Carara national park and a boat trip. His English is very good and eye sight even better for spotting birds which i would normally miss. I did make my target with Jeison's help. Highly recommend you use him for a guide.

Jaison is the best! Definitely get a guide like him - Incredible guided hike with intelligent, interesting & kind Jaison. Met him as we entered Carera park area - we were lucky to find amazing talent in Jaison. He found hidden rainforest creatures & birds. His bird calls and keen eye helped us enjoy this 3 hour tour immensely. Spotted playful spider monkeys and the elusive white bat. Recommend Jaison as your tour guide! @jeitourguide on IG

Birding and Nature tours in Carara - We decided to hire a guide for our family trip (10) to Karara National Park. Jeison Hernandez was friendly (we have kids down to 6 yrs), very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. If you go to this or any other National Park a guide REALLY brings the experience alive - PLEASE book a guide and book Jeison Hernandez (506) 8382 6788 if you can.

An extraordinary bird watching experience - Two couples of enthusiastic Mexican bird watchers, one an expert with great experience and dedication, and us two “advanced” beginners, did the tour in the Carara National Park under the guide of Jeison Hernández. Jeison's experience and knowledge of birds, their natural environment, habits and behavior allowed us to observe, identify and photograph a large number of birds, many of them new to our trip through Costa Rica. It was an extraordinary experience, where we also highlighted the excellent disposition, kindness, courtesy and diligence of our guide Mr. Jeison Hernández. We highly recommend this Carara National Park tour!
