🎯 A Quick Note on Birding

Birdwatching in Osa is both peaceful and thrilling. Whether you’re a seasoned birder with a life list or a curious beginner, our guides will adapt the experience to your pace and level of interest.

Binoculars are essential (bring yours or rent), and the early hours offer the best viewing. Patience pays off — many birds are more easily heard before they’re seen.

Let nature reveal itself, one feather at a time.
