Johnny Loves Nature and it shows! - Johnny the guide was excellent! He showed us snakes, a frog, birds, lizards, a walking stick and several other critters there is no way we would have seen had we gone out on our own. A really great experience!

Good tour with different sightings - Johnny was a good, passionate local who knew the hilly trails from his childhood. He navigated us with determination to find frogs and even a viper snake 🐍! We saw birds, a scorpion, and two different spiders.

Nice night walk. - Nice tour on our first night in Monteverde. Johnny was a knowledgeable guide who made sure we saw some interesting things, which ca be tough on a hit or miss nature walk. He helped take some fun photos through the spotting scope.

Spare me the tourist insults - This nite tour was uninspiring. We’ve done others in which we’ve seen far more animals- if this were the only issue I wouldn’t blame the tour operator. Johnny, while he believes himself to be comical, was insulting and abrasive. Most jokes were made at the expense of tourists. These guides would do well to remember that we’re just in the country to learn and enjoy the environment and culture.

This was a poorly managed... - This was a poorly managed tour. The pick up was late but more importantly, we were expecting Johnny to be our tour guide based on what we signed up for. Looks like he got busy with overbooking and went with another tour and sublet this to another tour guide. We did not start till after 6 and were very disappointed with the effort he put in to make this tour worthwhile. I totally understand that wild life sightings are different all the time and sometimes not visible at all. But to just ask the 4 of us to turn off flash lights and discuss china Costa Rica oil deal and other irrelevant topics in the dark for 15 min plus, twice, was a total waste of time. I was very scared the whole time worrying about something poisoned nearby since we were standing in total darkness. Despite these breaks, he turned around earlier whereas other guides kept going and were constantly looking around enthusiastically. We finished early as well. Waste of money.
