Bird Watching Tour Plus

1 day
About this activity
On this Bird Watching Tour Plus, enjoy a full day in the rainforest looking out for birds in their natural habitat, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide. From special trails, to the heights of the treetops and extraordinary observation points, this is an excellent option for birding enthusiasts as you travel from San Jose to the Rainforest Atlantic Park to head into the forest, with cameras and binoculars at the ready.
After an early start, walk through secondary forest and open areas. Cross a hanging bridge and see kingfishers and many other species that have started their daily activities in search of food. Board the aerial tram for an amazing journey, high up in the treetops, to look for birds, and experience the majestic beauty of the expansive rainforest. The aerial tram ride is a birdwatchers' bonanza; leisurely observation of canopy species is the rule, and you can stop the aerial tram when you want a better look.
At the end of the ride, at tower 12, take a hike on a path that will lead you to an observation station, where you will observe many birds and other tree-dwellers.
Afterwards, board the tram again to head back to the rainforest, where a healthy lunch awaits. In the afternoon, you will continue on a path leading to the Observation Center, a special site for bird watching, surrounded by plants that attract hummingbirds. Peer into in the forest backdrop, where, once in a while, some species that are difficult to spot might make an appearance.
This is a great option for families and groups, and for birders travelling independently, but looking for a customized birding day.
