Fantastic Costa Rica Birding & Wildlife Trip

Pieter set up the perfect Costa Rica birding & wildlife trip for me and my wife for the second straight year! He not only makes sure we have great guides, but makes sure every aspect of our trip is perfect for us. He takes the time to make sure all the accommodations, food, & transportation are perfect. This was very affordable for everything that we had planned.

Best trip of our life

Aratinga Tours has some nice trips in its portfolio, but we asked Pieter Westra to adapt one of them somehow to what we would like to see and make the trip longer and less intensive. This 4 week tour through Costa Rica was one of the best trips of our life, he knows the best guides, everything was organized perfectly. He thinks together with the client till everything is how you like it. Highly recommended.

Great trip well organized

I had looked at a lot of options for a a two week wildlife tour of Costa Rica and landed on Pieter of aratinga tours as offering best what we were looking for which was a personalized tour with onsite guides at each site. Discussion beforehand led to some tweaking which Pieter was very accommodating about and n the holiday itself everything worked like clockwork. Hotels transport and guides were all good and all the arrangements were on time and as expected.

A wonderful trip!

Aratinga Tours organized a Costa Rica trip for a friend and me. I appreciated Pieter Westra's attention to detail, his having been attuned to all of our interests as well as his colleaial relationships with all his partners in Costa Rica. The hotels, transportation, and local guides were all top notch. We were also fortunate that he was able to guide us personally for five days. He is an expert guide in every way. We saw many more birds than anticipated as well as many difficult to find species. Most of all, we had a wonderful time.
