Hire Elias...Having a guide makes all the difference - Our family spent four days in the Arenal/La Fortuna area and in advance I booked three tours with Elias. The tours were private and were very affordable. He did not disappoint. I absolutely believe whether you have a general interest in nature and birding or are seeking out a truly unique experience, Elias has the patience and knowledge to satisfy both types. Our first exploration was a night tour and it was absolutely fabulous. I have heard that without a guide you will miss so much, and I can tell you this is true. Elias not only has an amazing eye for finding wildlife, he knows so much about each one. My 11 year old grandson is incredibly curious and Elias and he had so much fun. Elias answered questions and was very patient with our excited fact lover. He was never in a rush, didn't hurry the tour which in fact lasted longer than planned....we thought that was just amazing. We saw so many different frogs, spiders, lizards, butterflies, and even a momma sloth with a baby. We also booked a morning birding tour. It trended exactly the same way. Lots of patience....an incredible eye, and great information. He also pointed out other daytime animals that we may not have seen on our own. He made sure that everyone got fabulous pictures, whether shooting with a smart phone, or me....just learning a new 35mm. I also booked a tour with Elias to Agami Island to see the new found rookery of the Agami Heron. It was a once in a lifetime experience. What an amazing bird. Elias made sure the day was filled with great birding.....he also gave a taste literally of Costa Rican hospitality. Lunch at a Soda was amazing!!

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.

Melvin fab guide! - Eco Danaus is a very well maintained educational natural facility. It was a chance to see a lot of wildlife in a short amount of time. Melvin my guide was a wealth of knowledge on not only wildlife but flora and fauna as well. Do visit its well worth it I highly recommend them.

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.

Definitely recommended - A really beautiful place for see animals by night. The guides are really friendly and knowing a lot about the animalworld.

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!

Great night tour! - We had a great night tour with Joe! He showed us numerous animals (many frogs😉) and gave us a lot of valuable information! Highly recommended!
