Best tour! - I was spoilt that i was the only person on the tour so I got a 1:1 experience, which was incredible. The guide (Alex) was top level with his knowledge, his super powers to find the smallest animals in the dark and best of all, he found me a sloth that was on the move and was about 2mtrs away from me. His knowledge on the plants and animals around the farm was expert level and loved learning how chocolate is made. Highly recommend this to anyone!

So glad we did it- night tour was excellent! - Booked a last minute chocolate night tour for my family- two adults and three kids. Our guide, Alex was super knowledgeable and funny. We toured the dark property and received an education on the chocolate making process and history while we scoured the grounds for wildlife…. And he delivered! We saw (with close up scope views) lizards, frogs, birds, insects, bats, many different fruits, sampled cacao straight from the fruit, and hit the jackpot with a super close up view just feet away of a juvenile sloth slowly moving his way across the tented roof of the plantation. Awesome! We capped the night off by making our own chocolate- from grinding to mixing our own ingredients into a chocolate bar. A great worthwhile informative adventure.

This experience was... - This experience was awesome! It was one of our top highlights during our time in Costa Rica. My daughter and I were the only people in the tour that night , so it felt like a private tour. Our guide, Alex, was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. He has an incredible gift for spotting wild life in the dark. We saw a sloth, several varieties of frogs and lizards, birds, a turtle, and a possum. The chocolate making was fun and the taste testing was yummy. It was an educational and entertaining night. The walking path is fully covered so you don’t have to worry about sun or rain.

Everything was amazing! - We had an incredible experience at Don Juan on the night tour. Our guide, Didi, was amazing—very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing information. We learned how to make chocolate, which was both fun and delicious. During the tour, we were lucky enough to see two sloths and many frogs, making the experience even more magical. We enjoyed every moment and highly recommend this tour!

Unexpected highlight - This tour exceeded our expectations! Alex was incredibly knowledgeable and brought love and enthusiasm to every step of the process. As a bonus, we saw two sloths and a large number of frogs and lizards! They had everything we needed from displays to equipment to scopes and ingredients to make our own chocolate. I highly, highly recommend!

Must go for families - This chocolate tour/ night walk tops the favorites list for our kids (11&7). Alex was our guide and was very knowledgeable and energetic. We learned, explored and made our own chocolate at the end. Also great spot for souvenirs. Highly recommended.
