Great night tour - We got lucky to see many night animals… the tour guide was knowledgeable and very nice… we where small group so it was easy to see everything and hear the guide even if you were at the end.

A small glimpse into the night jungle - I'll echo what many say about there being too many groups going out at once. However, that aside, I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very informative, telling us lots of info about the animals we saw and some we didn't. We saw a scorpion that was biolumescent (my kids thought this was cool), a tarantula, a turquoise browed mot-mot, a fiery billed aracari toucan and got a really good view of a sloth. There was also a great moment where our guide searched for a kinkajou and it suddenly appeared out of the trees in plain sight. You have to be a little sensible about wildlife hunt tours, as animals do not always do what you want and appear. It was simply fascinating being in the jungle, at night and trying to look for things.

Good, but could have been a better experience. - We were excited to go out on this tour as it came highly recommended but I was disappointed. I understand we are looking for wild wildlife, and no one can guarantee sightings on any trip like this, but I felt our guide spent too much time rushing the group around trying to spot the mystery kinkajou that other guides and groups were also trying to view (I maybe saw a tail as the guide rushed us around with a bright flashlight pointed at the canopy). When we gave up on the kinkajou and moved at a slower pace and could actually view the frogs, sleeping birds and the sloth (my wife's favourite part) the trip got better. It was good, but could have been better.

More of an enjoyable walk than a tour - This was a solidly okay experience. We didn’t see too many animals. There were many people on concurrent tours—I wouldn’t be surprised if the high foot traffic repelled some animals. We saw mostly insects and three sleeping birds. Our tour guide seemed a bit checked out, though the other guides seemed more passionate and friendly. The tour took about 1 1/2 hours and it was somewhat hilly. My favorite part was getting some exercise in!

Paid a lot and seen very little. - Far too busy and saw little to no animals. Paying too much for what you see is definitely not worth the money. We saw a spyglass of two centimeters and two legs of a spider and a sleeping bird.

Don’t bother - Overcrowded, noisy, disrespectful to the animals. Echo sentiments of other reviewers. When we first arrived, and saw and heard all of the other groups getting ready to go out on a tour, we knew this was not going to be what we had hoped for. Guides know how to poke and prod to get a tarantula to respond,,to shine lights on sleeping (or trying to sleep) birds, to grab a tiny frog and make sure we all get a photo, but they are not naturalists nor educators.

Quite boring and wouldn’t recommend - Very underwhelming. Too many groups walking around, chances of seeing something is somewhat slim. The guide was knowledgeable, but found the walk in the dark very boring. Of course it’s somewhat a chance to see anything.

Great great disappointment - A 2 acre patch of land, approximately 70 people wandering around in small groups with flash lights and guides with walkie talkies, surprised we even saw 3 small frogs, 3 sleeping birds and a dead scorpion! Over subscribed, far from Eco tourism. Imagine they have driven everything away from there. Felt conned, felt immoral that I was one of those people tramping around. Avoid, there are better ones, small sustainable conservation minded organisations, check how many people first. Our guide knew little, was un-enthusiastic and we ended up standing around in the dark looking at pictures in a flyer of all the things we wouldn’t see!!

Disappointing - A disappointment, we hardly saw any animals except the few that are always in the same place, some fellow travelers went the next day and saw the same animals as us. Other colleagues went on another tour from a different company and they did enjoy seeing animals. Terrible and disappointing.
