Magical day in a precious corner of Europe
B2825SMjoannel, October 2026
This was an unforgettable experience. We walked for four hours with our guide Joanna through the primeval forest of eastern Poland, bordering Belarus. The autumn colours were superb, the variety of fungi on offer the explanation about this 12,000 year old forest made for a fantastic day. Sturdy walking shoes are essential. Check weather forecast and dress appropriately

Roy is the REAL DEAL!!
m2mays, October 2026
Wow!!! We cannot recommend Roy and his team highly enough! Five stars just don’t seem enough! Roy was our guide and from beginning to end made us feel like long lost friends. Roy’s wealth of knowledge, but more importantly, his passion about nature and the animals of Costa Rica were evident all morning! We started the hike seeing a family of Coatimundi (coatis) as they foraged for food in the trees high above. We learned about all kinds of flowers, even saw one that smelled like blood to attract mosquitoes. Short time later we heard this loud howling that Roy explained was a Howler Monkey and boy did it sound angry! We got to a point on the trail where the howling was loudest, Roy expertly set up his scope, and in less than a minute we were viewing a huge male howler monkey with his baby. Roy’s excitement in sharing this experience with us was beautiful to see. At the end of the Essence trial there is a beautiful waterfall. On the hike back we heard some white face monkeys, got a quick glimpse of them jumping through the trees, but were unable to get pics. And lastly we were surprised to get to see a Resplendent Quetzal! While Roy has no control over what animals make an appearance, his knowledge and expertise, allows him to make trail decisions that provide the best opportunities! We are so grateful we chose to join Roy on this amazing hike! If you’re in the Monteverde area, we highly recommend Roy and his team! Mark & Joanna

Incredible knowledgeable and passionate guide
Joey_H, September 2026
Roy was an incredible guide. He is so passionate about the flora and fauna around monteverde. I feel like I learned so much about every plant, animal and insect we saw. He also was able to spot animals/birds and identify them instantly. He brought extra binoculars making it way easier to spot the wildlife. He was kind enough to screenshot all of the birds that we saw and send them to me after the tour. My family and I had such an amazing experience that we ended up having Roy guide us through Curicancha the next day. Couldn’t recommend a tour with Roy more!

Cloud Forest in September

It was a very nice experience! We expected to end up in a group but due to low season we had a private tour and the guide really took time to show us everything. Would definitely recommend!

Top experience

We had a nice experience. Our guide Fernando knew a lot to tell about nature. Many beautiful animals are allowed to be spotted and receive explanations on various topics.
