My family (husband, 9 year-old child) and I participated in a photo tour with Andy in February. We enjoyed it so much, and decided to come back a few months later, in April! Our experience was absolutely mind blowing. Andy took us to the most unique places we would never have been able to find or visit on our own.

From small town humble business owners who welcomed us in their homes (always with coffee and yummy snacks), to large luxury hotel resorts with superior rooms and exquisite meals, all with a persistent sense of unity with Costa Rica’s resplendent natural wonders. Andy did a fantastic job planning both of  our trips.

While my husband was taking some of his most beautiful photographs, Andy was engaging our child and myself in new for us and exciting activities, keeping an element of pleasant surprise throughout. We often found our new experiences quite therapeutic, in overcoming phobias (i.e. large insect encounters), taking a rainforest walk at night, or boating in a crocodile infested river! Yet every single adventure flowed in the most safe, friendly and relaxing atmosphere created by Andy.

My child’s ipad was never seen (or wanted!), and I had a refreshing, relaxing, meditative mental health retreat. We were very lucky and are thankful for the virtuoso planning and organization by our Andy, who created a memorable trip for us all.

Andy ensured we had the best opportunities to capture Costa Rica’s wildlife and landscapes. He works closely with selected local wildlife guides and photographic help was on hand if you needed it. We stayed in excellent simple accommodation with lunches sometimes at private homes.

Andy had organised activities for us such as nighttime bat photography, macro frogs and snake photography, and multi-flash hummingbird photography. We were able to photo toucans, white collared manakin, owls, king vulture and multiple species of hummingbirds to name only a few.

Juan who was our driver for the trip was so kind and helpful. It was a fantastic trip and enjoyable
