This was a trip not to be missed. We enjoyed every single moment. We saw things we never ever thought we would see. Our guide, Lior Berman, was exceptional. Everything was well planned and executed, and he was a great guide, anticipating every eventuality and keeping us all informed. Everything he told us we might see….we saw! He delivered! This is our second trip with Lior and I'm sure we will do more with him in the future.
What a delightful trip! Lior put together a great itinerary and he was a fantastic photography guide! He’s also a really nice guy! Branco and Raquelle took excellent care of us on the boat safaris and positioned us well in our many sightings. I would 100% recommend this trip!

Lior Berman | Founder & Lead Guide
Lior grew up in rural Guanacaste, Costa Rica, where the wild wasn't a destination, it was home. That upbringing shaped how he sees photography: not as a way to capture nature from a distance, but as a way to build a real relationship with it. A finalist in the Sony World Photography Awards and Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Lior approaches every image as an act of conservation advocacy, proof that the natural world is worth protecting. He founded PhotoLior to share that same access and philosophy with others: small groups, real encounters, and the patience it takes to earn an honest frame.
