Wonderful night hoke experience - What an amazing experience! The guide knew so much about the forest and had a great eye when it came to spotting the animals! We saw a variety of things such as walking sticks, spiders, a snake, a quetzal, and even a couple of monkeys!!! Truly an unforgettable experience

Amazing night hike with George - George is a great guide! He is a native to the area and has an intense passion for the cloud forest. I highly recommend booking with George. We saw a sloth, insects, mycelium bark, a pit viper, toucan, quetzel, an armadillo, and at the end the sky had opened up to see the stars. Not all animals are picture for my review.

The best night walk - My 5-year-old daughter is absolutely fascinated by nature and learning, and this tour ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our vacation — and for good reason! It struck the perfect balance between adventure, education, and wildlife encounters. The walking distance was just right for little legs, and every step felt like a new discovery. George was phenomenal — incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly gifted at spotting and explaining the animals we encountered. He made the experience engaging not just for my daughter, but for me too. I recommend this tour to families, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a magical experience outdoors. It was truly unforgettable. đŸ‘ŒđŸ‘ŒđŸ‘Œ

Nice night hike! - George Jr. was a great guide, very passionate about the wildlife and skillful at finding them at night. We saw sloths, toucans, lots of frogs, cool insects and more. He took great photos and videos for us as well.

What an adventure - All the reviews we had read about George were spot on! He knows the forest and has lots of knowledge to share. He got as excited as we all did when we got to see Sloths: mother and baby. He works really hard for each group to have a true adventure and fall in love with nature! We saw several different kinds of frogs, a pit viper, a tarantula, and other crazy cool cloud forest critters.

Great night walk tour - George was so great at his job! He could spot a wildlife from a long way. And he’s great at taking photos of the wildlife with his powerful telescope. Would recommend doing the night walk with him 100%!

Beautiful night experience - What a great experience with George Jr. and Vinnie. Experts at spotting wildlife- we did the night tour and saw so many beautiful creatures.. sloth mama and baby, several varieties of frogs, a beautiful Palm Viper ( the formal name was much longer) , tarantula, a horned Katydid, scorpions, heard so many crickets and an owl, fireflies.. delicious fresh mountain air a bright moon — very kind and extremely knowledgeable . Can’t wait to do the day time hike and learn more about this important .. fragile… and valuable eco system. Thank you for protecting it through education. đŸ©µđŸ©µđŸ©µđŸ©µđŸ©µ

Really fun! - It was really fun to go out after dark and I recommend every family do at least one night tour for all the amazing creatures. We saw some cool bugs on our tour but unfortunately few mammals. You can't control the wildlife! George was really passionate about finding us creatures and very knowledgeable and we were really happy that he was our guide :)
