Birding Tours to Costa Rica!
Majestic Feathers is organizing more birding trips to Costa Rica and we have been fortunate again to secure native Costa Rican bird guide and naturalist Edwin Ramirez to be our guide. If you have reviewed the Costa Rica page here on Majestic Feathers you know how taken I was with Costa Rica when I took a tour in 2008. Following that tour I organized my own Majestic Feathers trip in March of 2009 and Edwin was our guide. That trip was such a great success that I just had to do it again!
Costa Rica Dates:
Costa Rica February 10 to 23, 2012 / Brochure THIS TOUR IS FULL.Birders from across the country are exuberantly counting the days now as they prepare to depart for Costa Rica for our February tour.

Majestic Feathers Tours
Where Adventure, Avian Science, and Beauty MergeCan you imagine the thrill of seeing 380 to 427 species of birds in 12 days of birding? Well imagine no more by joining a Majestic Feathers birding tour with Edwin Ramirez in Costa Rica! Edwin is a native of Costa Rica and has 20 years of guiding under his binocular strap! By arranging our itinerary so that we bird in seven different life zones we accomplish species numbers like these and get you into out of the way places to see endemic birds, shy forest species, and a myriad of others. Edwin’s skill as a guide and naturalist are superb as noted by many of our past tour participants:
TestimonialsJoin us in Costa Rica to explore Tropical Dry Deciduous Forest, Rainforest, Cloud Forest, Lower and Upper Montane habitat, Subalpine Paramo, and Mangrove Forest. Because of the variety of habitat we bird you will likely add: Snowcap, and Fiery-throated Hummingbird, Silvery-fronted Tapaculo, Timberline Wren, Buffy Tuftedcheek, Flame-throated Warbler, Volcano Junco, Golden-browed Chlorophonia, Black-cheeked Ant-Tanager, Sunbittern, Jabiru, Antpittas, Tanagers, Tryannulets, Trogons and hundreds more!
Our tours are unique in that we are able to bird on both public and private land, and we can alter our route when our guide is notified of a rare bird alert. Additionally beyond the tours dates that we announce, we also offer tailor made tours for families or groups of birders that contact us asking for shorter or longer trips. We also offer Natural History tours, and tours that combine birding and other nature based recreation in Costa Rica: we can design a tour for your group that could include; fishing, scuba, zip lining, and surfing! We can make your dream trip to Costa Rica a reality!
A quick comparison of prices with other tours of the same length as ours will quickly reveal that our Costa Rica tour is priced on average at $1,500 less. In several cases the higher priced trip does not cover the extensive habitat that we bird. Birding tours can be found for prices below ours but a close consideration of the itinerary often reveals that one hotel is utilized as “base camp” and day trips from this location result in fewer birds seen and more time on the road. Flexibility is an issue with many of the lower priced trips as is accessibility to lust productive birding habitat. Our price makes your dream trip to Costa Rica a more affordable reality!
Majestic Feathers is in partnership with the Foundation for the Protection and Conservation of the La Paz River and Forest and a portion of your tour fee goes directly to forest restoration and to funding corridor connections in this cloud forest preserve. To date 100 acres of forest have been restored and in the future the final corridor connection will establish a land bridge allowing animals to move all the way from the Arenal Volcano National Park to the Los Alpes Private Forest Preserve. The corridor connection in the La Paz Forest will result in 2,000 acres of connected forest benefiting Tapirs, Pumas, Ocelots, Resplendent Quetzals, and many, many more species.
Majestic Feathers, Where Adventure, Avian Science, and Beauty Merge, a birding tour with us will bring all of this and more to you, join us you’ll love it if you do!
