We hired Surcos Tours (Roger) to take us into Corcovado National Park for three days of bird and wildlife viewing. This trip was the highlight of our two+ weeks spent in southern Costa Rica and Roger was the reason why. While the hike to Sirena was harder than we expected (mostly due to the humidity), the frequent breaks to observe... More

After reading some reviews on Lonely Planet and T.A. we contacted Surcos Tours and made arrangements to hire Nito for a 3 day/2 night hike into Sirena. We were a little nervous about hiring a guide over the Internet (due to a mediocre experience in Nepal the previous year), but this experience was outstanding. Nito picked us up at Bosque... More

For anyone traveling to the Osa Peninsula, I highly recommend Nito. He speaks good English and he will find things that you would normally miss. He brings along a special telescope/binoculars and he will help take pics of stuff he finds. Make sure you contact Nito early as he books quickly. The highlight of the trip was when we were... More

We heard great things about Surcos tours through the lonely planet "thorn tree" forum and on here as well; as such we had high expectations for Surcos tours ! These expectations were met and exceeded. This began with our communications with Ute who sent us great preparatory information, as well as answered any questions / altered our reservations / made...

We spent 4 days in the beginning of April at Sirena ranger station with Nito from Surcos Tours. It was fantastic, and absolutely the highlight of our visit to Costa Rica. I was concerned about planning the trip because there was so much we didn't know. Ute did a great job communicating with us through the whole planning process, explaining... More

I contacted Surcos tours in November about doing the 3 day hike from Los Patos to Sirena to La Leona. The contact person was Ute who was wonderful at explaining everything in detail, and putting my wife at ease. Surcos tours took care of all the arrangements and all we had to do was show up with our backpacks and... More

My Boyfriend and I went on a three day backpacking trip through Surcos Tours. They were great to us answering all the questions we had before the trip.... Our guide Natu met us the night before we left for Corcovado. He was very friendly and informative.... The next morning we set out on our journey!... The entire experience was amazing!... More

Let me start by saying that this was THE best thing we've done throughout our vacation. And the good experience started from months before we left. We started communicating with surcostours to check about hiring a private guide to go to Sirena station, and replies from Ute were timely and extremely informative. It seemed abundantly clear that these guys know... More

First I have to mention Ute, she was our tour planner and was extremely accomodating answering all of my numerous questions and providing additional area resources not related to our Corcovado tour. She met my husband and I at our hotel the day before our trip to ensure we arrived well and to answer any last minute questions, as well... More
