The Jungle Comes Alive! - I loved this tour, the two hosts were amazing, very friendly and informative on all of the bugs, plants and animals. Spoke in both English and Spanish. I would definitely do this all over again.

Authentic led Night Walk Experience - Lovely knowledgeable family/guides. They went out of their way to find cooperative creatures. The wife/mom went down into the swamp with a flashlight immersing with a glass frog for us to examine up close!

Unique and cool thing to do! - Wonderful experience. Our guide, Neri, was great and we saw some really cool things. They gave us boots and flashlights, etc. so we were all kitted out. I got to hold the really mean looking, but gentle and sweet, scorpion spider!

Fascinating! - For an unusual experience exploring the forest under the cover of darkness. Meet the nocturnal life forms with an experienced guide. Plenty of time to take photographs. Fascinating!

Amazing night walk - This was a wonderful night walk. We were able to see tarantulas and other spiders, lizards, insects and the glass frogs which were spectacular. Our guide, William, also spoke great English! I would highly recommend this walk.
