Wonderful Tour! - Johnny was a fun and educational tour guide! We got to see so many different species including a viper, glass frog, red eyed tree frog, eggs, and more. It was a great experience walking through at night time and Johnny made us feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnny.

Disappointing - This was cheaper than other night walks but had good reviews so we went on it. Unfortunately we didn’t have Jonny but another guide who didn’t seem to know the route (took us along a track for 30 minutes before realising we’d gone wrong) eventually turned around and followed other groups through the forest and saw some animals bit disappointing overall.

Scam Warning – Guide Canceled Last Minute, No Refund, No Support - We booked a tour through TripAdvisor/Viator, and the guide canceled at the last minute due to his personal reasons. He asked us to reschedule for the next day, but we told him we couldn’t—we were leaving the area. After that, he completely disappeared and stopped responding. We contacted TripAdvisor and asked for a refund, thinking they would back us up. But instead, they flat out refused without giving any valid reason. We paid for a service that was never delivered, and they chose to side with the guide instead of the paying customer. This experience was not just disappointing—it felt like a scam. Do NOT book this tour. Do NOT trust TripAdvisor or Viator. If something goes wrong, they will leave you stranded and take your money anyway. Avoid at all costs.
