Do it - This was incredible. We got super lucky and saw a ton of beautiful wildlife, and the tour guide and driver were very knowledgeable about all the animals and the land, and great at finding all the hidden creatures. Couldn't recommend enough. Bring water, closed shoes and bug spray :)

Come to the dark side- we have snakes! - We had an amazing time with Adrian on the night tour. We saw lots of animals we wouldn’t have seen otherwise including three varieties of snakes (blonde headed brown vine, coral, eyelash pit viper), three tarantulas, an owl butterfly, bullet ants, baby hummingbirds in a nest, a tree frog, two sloths, and many others. The guide is clearly extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife found in Manzanillo Refuge and Costa Rica in general. The night tour was a special experience and totally worth it!

A unique experience - The night hike with Adrian was wonderful and educational. We saw lots of creepy crawlies, insects laying eggs, spiders explosively shooting their webs, hummingbird chicks and even a skunk. At the end of the hike we came across an ocelot, that was our highlight! Adrian, thank you for the wonderful impressions and also for the shuttle to the bar on the way back!

Amazing Hike in the Night - Awesome tour from start to finish, the included transport was great. Adrian greeted us with lots of energy and interesting background about the history of Puerto Viejo culture. He did a great job making everyone feel welcome and we saw a lot of neat wildlife and nature. He was very knowledgeable and also was patient and helpful with the children on the tour. Very cool experience seeing the jungle at night!

Perfect night hike - The tour with Adrian was very educational and interesting. He has a broad knowledge of all the animals in the forest, was very open and spoke good English. We saw lots of animals, including a snake, a kinkajou and large spiders. We would definitely recommend the tour!!

Full of life in the darkness - Adrian and his driver came to pick us up from the location he was told, he was on time, just as night fell. During the trip, he explained to us the history of the new arrivals from the Caribbean Coast, it was very interesting, we learned a lot. When we got to the park, it was magical, we saw a lot of insects and animals that day. Adrian has an eye for spotting them. To do once in your life, the jungle in complete darkness. A ride that is out of the ordinary. I recommend this tour 100%

Amazing experience. 100% recommend - My friend and I were recommended Adrian by somebody we met whilst travelling and we were so pleased we took his advise because it was a great experience. I had never done a tour at night but this was magical. We saw so much wildlife and Adrian took so much time to explain to us about the animals/insects/reptiles and plants. We felt safe throughout but of course with a bit of adrenaline from the jungle at night. I would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks Adrian.
