  If you are in Costa Rica and are looking at birds or want to see some interesting local birds coming to Dave & Dave's is a must. And all honesty their pricing is absurd but it's worth it in the end. You will see the white-throated Jacobin which is an astonishing hummingbird. I saw two species of toucans hear a wide variety of species. Both of them are genuinely very nice the grounds are very good. I guess I should say I saw a black crested Coquette here as well. Difficult bird to see so that was very exciting.

  What a beautiful place! This is definitely one of the best spots to see hummingbirds in action. They placed many feeders along one of their terraces and that enables you to watch many hummingbirds very closely which is such a wonderful experience! In addition, they have another terrace that you can see other birds from thanks to the fruit they place for them right below it.
  The place itself is beautiful, they started it only in 2009 and the scenery is already so full and green. Dave senior or Dave junior who own the place will give you a tour in it up until the river which takes about an hour, and you will see the lovely trees, plants and if you’re lucky - the blue jeans frog and many more. The tour is very informative and both Daves are so nice and welcoming. Highly recommended, don’t miss it!

  Amazing place to see the tropical birds of Costa Rica! If you are in to nature at all you will not want to miss this place. The owner's take pride in conserving the nature in the area and are excellent at sharing information about what they do there to preserve the natural habitat. If you like to take photos, there are two excellent platforms to do it from for both birds and hummingbirds.

  We loved Dave and Dave (father and son). Beautiful 15 acre sanctuary that has been planted and cultivated over the years with trees that birds love. We saw about 25 species, not including the numerous hummingbirds. Highly recommended.

  One of the best tours ever for me, and I've traveled some. Standing in a peaceful veranda as the birds feed only several yards away. Never any problem spotting the various species and younger Dave gave terrific information about bird behavior. Also met father Dave, a very charming person. They have a real mission to preserve habitat.

  We came and payed an unexpected visit to this lovely nature park. The friendly owner and his son made much effort to explain us how they turned this previous palmplantation into a lush birdparadise.
  So many birds can be viewed and pictured from close distance. The little trail towards the river offers the chance to find more animals like frogs, fish and herrons.
  We are currently travelling through most of Costa Rica and did the Manual Antonio and Corcovado National Parks. But at Dave's we got to see so many birds and frogs. More than the two national parks combined!
  By spending the 20 dollar entree fee you will see a lot more Costa Rican beauty and support ecoprojects like this. Plus.the coffee they serve is delicious!
