Excellent - We loved the tour. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and made the walk really fun. He showed us many animals on the night walk and helped us take amazing pictures. The chocolate making was fun too. It was great to experiment with flavors.

Fantastic night tour! - I took the Chocolate and Night Tour and had an incredible experience from start to finish. Didier was an outstanding guide—he explained the chocolate-making process with such clarity and passion, making it both educational and fun. What really stood out was how he went the extra mile to help us spot different frog species and even a sleeping sloth, making sure everyone got a great view from different angles. The tour was absolutely worth every moment. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the magic of crafting their own chocolate bar while also learning about Costa Rica’s fascinating wildlife. A perfect blend of flavor and adventure!

Must Do! - First time in Costa Rica and it was recommend to me by many friends to participate in a night tour. I was told it is a MUST DO. My family was not as convinced bc they were not loving the idea of not being able to see whats hidden in the lush greenery. This tour at Don Juan was a perfect compromise. We completed the night tour on a paved and covered trail which helped anyone with a bit of phobias feel more at ease. Paired with an excellent guide, Yen, who was knowledgeable and very engaging. Yen answered so many questions while encouraging curiosity. Our group saw many frogs, lizards, other critters and even a sleeping sloth. The tour included an explanation of the process of making chocolate, along with a hands-on opportunity to make our own chocolate!!! It was one of our best souvenirs. Definitely check it out if you'd like the night time tour idea but with a little less "unknown" or "creepy" exploration. Gracias por todo Yen! *They provide flashlights but I would still bring my own small one next time as some of theirs had low battery and it wasn't something that could be fixed at that moment.

Great experience - We had a blast learning about the process of making chocolate. And at the same time, we saw many critters such as bats and frogs. At the end of the tour, we made our own chocolate bars which made for a fun souvenir. We recommend for couples, friends, and family!
