Memorable evening - La Fortuna night tour - Fantastic experience with Elias nature tours, right from booking the tour and having responsive, helpful communication, to the tour itself. We did the private night tour in La Fortuna, with José as our guide and we saw SO many frog species (including the very rare Sylvia’s tree frog), 2 snakes (including the scary fer-de-lance!), a kinkajou and various insects. Very memorable evening immersed in nature, surrounded by the glorious noise of the frogs. Thank you team!

Best Guides in La Fortuna, Costa Rica - I highly recommend hiring an Elias Tour. The entire Elias team is spectacular, especially Chino and Roy, who guided us on fantastic tours.

Private Night Macro Photography Tour - I had two private night tours with Jose. he was very professional and helpful. he tried very hard to find me my targeted animals and the perfect Photography angles. I learned a lot of information about the creatures here. I told him I want see more snakes, and he made it happen. Elias is also very helpful and understanding with all my needs. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful wildlife and wonderful guides! - We booked an night tour and had a great time with Jose Luis. He was so friendly and knowledgeable, guiding us through the night and finding beautiful frogs, basilisk, caiman, birds, crazy insects, and we even saw a Kinkajou scurrying in the treetops! He is an awesome photographer and we have beautiful pictures he took for us through his spotting scope. Would highly recommend booking a tour with him! We hope to return and book a birdwatching tour in the future as he spoke with excited about recent tours he had guided and showed us stunning photos of other wildlife in the area!

Great photo tour - From booking to tour entire experience was excellent. This was interested in photos of reptiles and frogs so they tailored our tour accordingly. Payment system was easy and came on time to pick us up from our hotel.
Our tour guide Jose was very helpful in photos and finding animals for us. He was prepared with tools and equipment to help me if needed. He shared his tricks on photos also. Patient with my photos and angle changes. Highly recommend them.

Over and above ❤️ - We had such an amazing experience with Elias Nature tours from beginning to end.
I contacted Elias before our first trip to Costa Rica to book nature tours for La Fortuna. He took our whole wish list of what we wanted to do and booked everything for us. This included 2 nature night walks (1 at ecocentro danaus and 1 at Papa’s place) canyoning, white water rafting with Arenal rafting, a sloth walk at the bogarin trail, a chocolate and coffee tour at North fields, zip lining at sky adventures and a walk on the 1968 trail to the Arenal volcano. He sent us a full itinerary with codes and details and we paid all money to him for all tours.
We saw a sloth mum and its baby come to ground for a poo and saw others too at the sloth walk at Bogarin. Awesome!
We had Luis for our guide for all our nature tours except the sloth walk where we had Gabriel. Both were brilliant and so knowledgeable. Saw so many thing and got brilliant photography advice which we were new to. He was also v skilled at using my iPhone to take video and photo through his scope.
Elias went over and above by messaging us each night with reminders and plans for next day and also asking us how our day had been. ❤️ would recommend wholeheartedly.

La Fortuna with Elias Nature Tours - Elias was fantastic in helping organise tours for our time in La Fortuna. Luis was our guide for the night tour at Papa's Place & his knowledge was exceptional. We saw so many frogs, snakes & other creatures - totally recommend this tour & Elias Nature Tours. Elias also arranged a tour of the Mistico Hanging Bridges, a sloth tour & a coffee & chocolate tour - all were great fun. Thanks for a great experience!
