Wonderful Tour! - Johnny was a fun and educational tour guide! We got to see so many different species including a viper, glass frog, red eyed tree frog, eggs, and more. It was a great experience walking through at night time and Johnny made us feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnny.

Night life in the forest - The night walk through the MV reserve was full of small little creatures hidden but makes the night and live so rich. We were able to spot tarantulas, frogs, birds and hear such a concert of creatures.

When the night comes to life ! - This walk around as night starts to fall is a must-do. You see the animals, that you might have seen in the day, sleeping and you see the nocturnal animals come to life. We listened to all the wonderful information, we felt like we had really learnt something different to our other guided trips in other places we did because of the different animals we saw. We're really glad we didn't skip this experience.

Scam Warning – Guide Canceled Last Minute, No Refund, No Support - We booked a tour through TripAdvisor/Viator, and the guide canceled at the last minute due to his personal reasons. He asked us to reschedule for the next day, but we told him we couldn’t—we were leaving the area. After that, he completely disappeared and stopped responding. We contacted TripAdvisor and asked for a refund, thinking they would back us up. But instead, they flat out refused without giving any valid reason. We paid for a service that was never delivered, and they chose to side with the guide instead of the paying customer. This experience was not just disappointing—it felt like a scam. Do NOT book this tour. Do NOT trust TripAdvisor or Viator. If something goes wrong, they will leave you stranded and take your money anyway. Avoid at all costs.
