Target Species

Are you looking to add those missing Costa Rican species to your list?  Perhaps you’ve visited Costa Rica in the past on a more general birding trip and now hope to return to embark on a more focused tour seeking specific bird specialties.


Tropical Feathers has many years of success in designing target tours for focused birders and can custom design for this type of intensive tour. Like most of our trips these are operated on a private basis which includes accommodations and local transportation along with professional birding guides who knows your target birds.


The target trips are arranged to maximize the use of your time in Costa Rica with clean views of as many species as possible. The goal is to mark your list with as many speciality ticks as conditions allow.


Whether you are after particular species of life birds or simply want to revisit specialties, we can design to your needs.

Send us your target list and the time of year of your proposed visit and we can design an appropriate package built around your list.

Because these tours are custom designed we can only quote a price after building your unique custom target tour as each tour is one of a kind.


We look forward to hearing from you.
