Wildlife is never a... - Wildlife is never a guarantee, so I went into this experience hoping for a nice night walk. But my expectations were exceeded! Jason was such a cool dude with a great personality and so much knowledge about the plant life and wildlife. We had a great time and saw some amazing wildlife including a tinamou, moths, cockroach, scorpion, vipers, frogs, tarantula, clickbeatle, lightning bugs, AND OUR VERY FIRST SLOTH IN THE WILD!!!! Great day for wildlife.

peaceful but less animal sightings - We saw a sloth, a scorpion, a sleeping toucan, a possum high up in the tree .: The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. This tour did not have as many animal sightings as i thought would be there .. The guide mentioned this tour is less popular, so it is more peaceful

Dream come true - seeing wild green vipers - We had a night tour for our five year anniversary. I am a biologist back home and was looking forward to the chance of seeing some Costa Rican wildlife (especially reptiles). Jason was a wonderful guide. He was extremely friendly and patient, allowing us to have our moments with the side-striped palm Viper- the snake species I was really hoping to find. We saw two kinkajous, armadillos, a sloth and a large anole lizard who was sleeping. It was a full tour and we really feel like we got our money's worth. We appreciated Jason's enthusiasm, and he tought us a lot about the local insects. He is a wealth of knowledge and you'll be lucky to have him as your tour guide. Thanks again!!

Great experience - Our guide Jason did a great job in spotting things other guide probably didn't see. Also he made sure that everyone got a nice picture of the animal.

Lack of Information and Unpleasant Guide on the Tour - We reserved a spot for the tour and received information only about what was included and what required an additional fee. Unfortunately, there was no information provided about what to expect during the tour, including guidance on the type of cameras and lights to bring. Additionally, there was no indication of how close we would be to observe the nocturnal creatures. Regrettably, the guide, instead of being friendly, came across as arrogant. While we understand that he may take pride in showcasing his home, we believe there is room for improvement in how he conveys that enthusiasm.
