Excellent! - Ademar was an excellent guide, infected us with his passion for nature and animals, made the tour very entertaining and tried to show us and explain us as much as possible, very bye tour of our favorites in Costa Rica. Important to take the main road marked in Google maps because the alternating one takes you to a closed l.

Great experience - Adaman, our guide, was very knowledgeable and really good at finding us things to see. There was a wide variety of wildlife on offer from roosting birds (includind a Toucan) to poisonous frogs and insects. Thoroughly recommended.

Fun nighttime adventure - It was nice to partake in this tour after a long day of flying then driving to our Airbnb in the evening. We spent about two hours walking, some areas were slippery, but they do provide walking sticks and flashlights. Flashlights aren’t super potent, even though they’re supposed to be a little bit less powerful than the guides. We did not get to see any eaters or snakes, but we saw about 3 to 4 varieties of frogs, spiders, including a tarantula, bioluminescent mushrooms, and more. The guy was also taking pictures and you can tell he was really into seeing all the things as well. They provided coffee, sweet snacks, and water. My 8 & 16yo both enjoyed it too.

Very cool to experience... - Very cool to experience the jungle at night! We unfortunately didn’t see a wide variety species but the person leading the tour was looking so hard for things for us to see and was extremely knowledgeable.

It was fine.... - This activity rating in probably highly dependent on how much wildlife that you happen to see and unfortunately we did not see much. Frogs were about the only thing we saw that we hadn't seen during the day. Our guide was fine - the group had 8 people and it was sometimes difficult to hear and see what he was referring because we were the group in the back of the line.

Expensive, and not for young kids - Would not recommend this for families with small kids. We have a 6 year old and a 9 year old, and both are used to me dragging them on hikes so they have a good attention span. But the price was very high for what it was, which was little more than hiking in woods right next to someone’s house. We saw little beyond what we’d see at our own house in Ohio, USA: a tree frog, a cricket, fireflies, some ants, and a small spider or two. I know it’s difficult finding wildlife, especially when multiple groups are going out at the same time, but this was a bit disappointing given the price, and we were all eager to wrap up the hike. The guide was great and tried to keep it interesting, but this just was not worth it, unfortunately.
