A beautiful evening in Sarapiqui - My spouse and I loved our night tour. With the rain the reserve was a paradise for frogs and we even had the chance to see an armadillo! All managed by a passionate family who cares about the beautiful biodiversity of their country. Thank you so much!

Night tour - What a great find. We did 3 night tours and Sarapiqui Xperience was by far the best. Jose Pablo runs a small family business and genuinely cares for what he does. We were made to feel welcomed and Jose made every effort to spot wildlife on the tour. Viewing wildlife is never guaranteed but we were blown away. He was always patient as we composed our photo’s and we never felt rushed. If you are thinking of doing a night tour in this area do not hesitate to choose Sarapiqui Xperience.

Amazing experience - Amazing night walk experience! From the moment we parked we started seeing wildlife, with two passionate and knowledgeable guides that were able to spot animals and tell everything about them. Many frogs, sloths, kinkajou, spiders, lizards, salamanders…the list is long. We really wanted to see glass frogs and our guide went off the path to find them, and he did find them! Absolutely recommended, the price is also more than fair for the quality and the duration!

A unique and Great Experience! - It has been a great experience from start to finish! I was attended by the owner of the facility who gave me a dedicated tour of the local forest. He showed me the diverse and unique flora and fauna of the country. All in all, I'm looking forward to coming back with my family. P.S. I recommend going to this place at night so you can potentially see more specimens.

Fantastic Night Tour - We did a tour with the whole family (kids, parents, grandparents) and it was wonderful. Frogs, sloth, and all kinds of creepy crawlies with an excellent guide on well maintained walking paths. Clearly a great deal of care goes in to this property, both for wildlife and guests! Also - the BEST flashlights. Highly recommended.

Great night tour - Paulo is a specialist in the field of amphibians and reptiles. His father has planted many trees on about 20 hectares of land for the different animal species that can now be seen there. Pools for the amphibians, all kinds of frogs (40 ) and salamanders. We immediately saw a sloth and many tree frogs. Big spiders and crickets. Paulo sees birds sleeping on a twig between the branches. A beautiful coral snake along the path! Paulo is a fantastic guide who knows a lot about the animals and plants in this beautiful area. Thank you for this wonderful experience!🙏
