A+++ - Had a great time and dinner was delicious. I was disappointed to not have seen any snakes but maybe that was a good thing 🤣 He was a great guide and I can’t stress enough how great dinner was.

A must see experience near Jaco - Geriold was a wonderful host. He was so knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. He picked us up in Jaco and it was a short ride up the mountain to our starting point. We immediately started to see wildlife. It was a flashlight tour down a jungle stream jam packed with cool things to see. We saw 3 types of snakes, several types of frogs, and many species of spiders and luminous bugs. I was unsure when booking about the dinner included, what a wonderful surprise we had at the end of our tour. Dinner was at a secluded restaurant tucked into the forest. It was honestly the best meal that I had in Costa Rico. The lemonade is a must have. They had several dishes to choose from and the chicken that I had was absolutely perfect. I can't recommend it enough. This tour is given by a local farmer and he would love to have your business.

Worth doing - The walk down the creek bed and seeing the various creatures was great! We safely saw owls, frogs, snakes, and spiders!

Fantastic nature experience - Fantastic, exhilarating excursion. I expected a well worn public path with some sights, but instead was happy to see this trip was real bushwhacking. We went across lots of narrow jungle paths, rough terrain including walking along a river bed and stepping across rocks. Every single step had us discover something new. Geirold and Stanley are both accomplished guides, who are very well versed in information on all fauna and flora what we came across. Just one warning, if you go on this trip you very well will come across animals who are dangerous (fer de lance etc.), but these two gentlemen kept everyone wary and safe. This experience went well beyond my expectations, and I would go on it again without hesitation. Thanks Geirold and Stanley for a great trip! P.S. I am remiss in not mentioning how good the restaurant is where dinner is served. Great location, delicious food, and friendly service.

Night Tour - Recommend the tour if you’re staying in Jaco or Los suenos area. Right outside the city, great experience with great people!

Fantastic experience - Absolutely awesome experience. The guides are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I wish we seen more animals but no one can control that situation. The guides certainly made every effort to find creatures. The hike is a bit challenging due to the uneven surface you will be walking on but not extreme.

A facinating night tour - Geriold our guide made our trip memorable with all the info on the critters we saw. He was also very attentive and kept a close eye on us at all times. We saw a number of frogs, spiders and a large bull frog. We came to a large waterfall where Geriold took our picture. Then we had a delicious meal at the Green Barrel restaurant. What a fascinating tour. We saw animals we would never see in the daytime. So glad we did it! I would definitely recommend this tour!

A great night in nature - We had a great time on this walk. We were really well taken care of. We saw lots of frogs and some very cool plants. Our guide was super excited to find a rare frog. The dinner at the Green Barrel was delicious and they easily accommodated my vegetarian husband.
