    Join NatureArt Lab on our Costa Rica Nature Tour

    Join NatureArt Lab for a once-in-a-lifetime nature tour of Costa Rica’s unique biodiversity. Start the tour by visiting the famous Braulio Carrillo National Park, which is famous for Barva Volcano, and several other dormant volcanoes. 

    Then, discover Cahuita National Park on foot and by kayak to spot sloths, monkeys, lizards, and birds in their natural habitat. Next, we’ll journey to Sarapiqui, where you’ll participate in optional whitewater rafting, chocolate tours, and more nature walks.

    We’ll also visit the immense Arenal volcano before journeying to Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, where you can spot the Green Macaw and more beautiful wildlife.

    A major highlight of the tour will be discovering the Osa Peninsula, the most remote, wild and biodiverse region of Central America. Finally, we’ll finish up the tour in Dominical, known for its surfing beaches and forest trails.

    Along the way, you’ll experience nature art workshops and get to know like-minded travellers on your tour over delicious meals and activities together.

    Experiencing the wildlife of Borneo - by Murray Foote

    I have been on twelve other photo tours or workshops in the last eight years and organised a couple myself.  This one stood out not merely for the magic of the rainforest wildlife but also as socially harmonious and stimulating.The highlights for me were seeing giant flying squirrels, bearded pigs, orangutans and sun bears in Sepilok, pig tailed macaques, proboscis monkeys and  a slow loris at the Kinabatangan River and gibbons, hornbills, a clouded leopard and a tarsier in Tabin.

    Wildlife photography adventure in Malaysian Borneo - by Dr Damien Esquerre

    For the first time in my life I observed more mammal species than reptile species (mammal diversity is often hard to observe), and encountered life-changing experiences like a clouded leopard feeding on a palm civet up on a tree, which I got to capture with my lens after waiting for almost two hours. This blog relates the experiences of Dr Damien Esquerre, co-leader and photography tutor on our twelve day nature photography trip to Sabah, Malaysian Borneo from 2 - 14 May 2019.
