My Husband and I booked our tour the night before and were told to meet with Omar at Maxi's restaurant in the morning for our tour. Not knowing really who we were looking for, Omar sauntered up and asked if we were waiting for him, when we said yes, he told us he just had to run home to get... More

After two weeks of hiking to find toucans without success, we decided to make the birds tour with Omar (Bucus tours): a great idea! More than 2 species of Toucans, we saw more than thirty different birds. Then we go fishing and caught lots of red fish and a small shark! Omar find a restaurant to cook them for us...... More

My family of five was treated to an absolute delight in our jungle tour with Omar. From ants to snakes to spiders to sloths to birds to plants and trees, Omar was a true wealth of knowledge. And beyond that, he was able to share that knowledge at a level that was great for our kids and still interesting to... More

Our jungle tour with Omar was definitely one of the highlights of our visit. Starting out with the smells and tastes of a tropical garden -- ylang ylang, citronella, quinine, miracle fruit -- and then venturing into the forests to see the monkeys, snakes, and the spectacular trees. Omar has so much knowledge to share -- we definitely learned a... More

My boyfriend and I visited Manzanillo in November of 2011 and Omar was recommended to us by the owner of the resort we were staying at. Our first tour was a nature walk through Manzanillo and at the end of the tour, we both agreed we only wanted to book with Omar for the rest of our vacation. Omar knows... More

Omar's jungle tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. His extensive knowledge of the Flora and Fauna and his ability to locate and point out interesting sights makes his tour an extremely rewarding experience. We were shown four poisonous snakes on the tour in a safe manner, and without him we wouldn't have seen any... More

Omar was passionate and extremely knowledgeable about the plants, insects and animals of the jungle. I've taken at least five other guided tours through jungles and I saw many more types of animals and insects and I learned far more on this one than the others. It rained hard just before our tour so, by the end, everyone's shoes and... More

Omar took us, myself, my daughter and her partner, for the most amazing walk through the forest. A true local, Omar's knowledge is incredible and shows his love for the forest and his country. I could have gone on with him forever. Every tree, every plant, every corner of the forest held a surprise. We saw lots of interesting animals... More

here's a chance to really know the Caribbean of Costa Rica, with the help of Omar, the local guide, you will not go into the forest you fill the forest, you do not see the animals you know the animals, you do not see the flowers and the plants you taste the flowers and plants, and if you're lucky Omar...
