It was great! - We had a great time on our bird watching tour and night tour with Chino. We saw many new species and just overall had a great time. It was a great experience and we would definitely recommend doing both the tours.

An amazing experience - The place is beautiful with too much biodiversity and precious species, very easy for bird watching, the trails are very easy to travel and easy to access. We loved our tour with Elias, an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge.

Costa Rica Night Tour - We had the best time and saw so many animals we would have never seen if it wasn't our tour guide. Highly recommend this for anyone that's wants to see animals at night. Also, we got a very lovely gift bag after our tour. This is a must do while in the area.

Awesome - We had a fantastic 2–3 hour nature and bird walk with Elias in La Fortuna, Costa Rica—truly one of the highlights of our trip! Elias was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the local wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw many species we would have completely missed on our own, including the amazing red-eyed tree frog, delicate glass frogs, and a variety of beautiful birds. He had an incredible eye for spotting even the most well-camouflaged creatures and shared fascinating insights throughout the walk. Our 8-year-old daughter was totally engaged and learned so much—Elias made the experience fun, educational, and accessible for all of us. Highly recommend this tour for families or anyone wanting a deeper appreciation of Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity!

DANAUS: BIODIVERSITY IN FULL - one of the best experiences we had. DON'T FORGET TO TAKE THE GUIDED TOUR. You can do the self-guided trail, but you'll miss 80% of the wonders there are to see and learn about. The guide is also in love with biodiversity and the preservation of the resource: we learned a lot. He also took some dream photos of us: super complete. The activity is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Due to lack of time I was left wanting the night tour
