Brilliant night tour!! - Wow, what a fantastic night tour!! Olman our guide was amazing, so knowledgeable and eyes like a hawk at spotting wildlife in the dark! We saw so many animals and insects, glass frog, tarantula, possum, armadillo and lots of other insects! Olman gave us all of their correct names and a little bit about them and how they live/what they eat. Would definitely make the time to take this tour, you don’t regret it, fantastic experience!!

Great experience!! - Excellent tour. The tour guide was fantastic and clearly enthusiastic about the rainforest and the animals in it. His ability to pivot based on the animals and conditions that evening was impressive. He helped us see the animals through a scope and helped us take good photos on our phones, which was a nice bonus! We saw frogs, birds, spiders, and heard even more animals.

Great hike with many wildlife sightings! - Very knowledgeable guide. Loved the small group atmosphere. Saw many things, including a tarantula, frogs, sleeping toucans, bats, various insects, and even a sloth! Hike was moderate; the pace is slow so it’s very doable for most but it’s probably not suitable for those with mobility challenges. For us, it was just the right amount of “adventure” but not so much that we had to focus on the ground instead of the wildlife. Absolutely would do again!
