Birdwatching by the Lake
See birds you may have never seen before.
Birdwatching by Lake Arenal Early Morning
Our expert birdwatching guide will find the perfect location for catching a glimpse of some of the best bird life in the world. Costa Rica is famous for birding and this is a must-do excursion while you are in the Arenal Volcano area!
The elusive tropical birds of Costa Rica are best spotted in the wee hours of the morning or also close to sunset. Your nature guide will take you on a hike, providing interesting facts about Costa Rica nature and the different birds that live here.
You will see a wide-array of exotic birds from toucans, parrots, Montezuma Oropendolas, colorful tanagers and parakeets. If you are a more-serious birdwatcher, your guide will use his eagle-eyes to spot the harder-to-see birds such as Royal Flycatchers, White-fronted Nunbirds, Cinnamon Woodpeckers and other more-difficult-to-see bird species in Costa Rica whiole birdwatching near the Arenal Violcano.
Since there are a reported 840 species of birds found in Costa Rica, you are bound to leave this tour having seen plenty of amazing birdlife!
