"My wife and I were fortunate enough to be on a Costa Rica wildlife photography trip earlier this year and we found Paul Najera, our guide, to be one of the friendliest people you will ever meet and a great representative of Costa Rica. In addition, Paul was extremely knowledgeable about birds, reptiles, mammals, plant life and many interesting tidbits about different areas of Costa Rica. Paul always knew the best places and the best times for us to get phenomenal views of the wildlife we were there to photograph. He also was an excellent photographer himself and was able to assist us with camera settings and other things that allowed us to get the best shots. Even when he, no doubt, also wanted to get camera shots of the wildlife, he put us first. My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Paul and we would gladly go on another trip with him anytime and highly recommend him to others!"

"Four years ago, I was fortunate to have Paul Najera as my guide during my first trip to Costa Rica. His deep knowledge of the country’s wildlife and plant life, combined with his warm and caring personality, made my experience unforgettable. As a passionate wildlife photographer, I was amazed not only by Paul’s own exceptional photography skills but also by the time he dedicated to helping me improve mine—guiding me with camera settings, compositions, and positioning. Since then, I have returned to Costa Rica every year to explore new regions with Paul, always discovering incredible landscapes and wildlife opportunities. Because of his guidance, I have grown tremendously as a photographer and enjoyed some of the best experiences of my life. I can’t imagine visiting Costa Rica without Paul as my guide, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking an extraordinary and enriching adventure."

"During my 8-day photography trip to Costa Rica, I truly realized the value of traveling with a professional naturalist guide. Paul made this my best trip to Costa Rica so far! As both a naturalist and photographer, Paul understands what photographers need. His strong local connections kept us updated on wildlife sightings, and thanks to him we experienced moments we would have otherwise missed. With his sharp spotting skills, deep knowledge of Costa Rica’s ecosystems, the use of high-quality equipment like a spotting scope gave us wonderful up-close viewing opportunities. Paul was always punctual, organized and patient making the experience smooth and enjoyable for everyone in the group. His passion for nature and sharing Costa Rica’s wonders turned this trip into an unforgettable adventure. I look forward to joining his 12-day excursion in the future!"
