Very cool night walk with lots of things to see! - We had a great time on the night walk tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and brought along his telescope for optimal viewing of the animals. We saw snakes, frogs, hummingbirds, a scorpion, and several insects.

Nice small group night tour - Informative interesting experience with an excellent guide. We were lucky to have a small group of just 4 people meaning more time to view wildlife through the guides scope. Note some groups were a lot bigger. Got to see a lot of amazing fauna, including vipers, red eye stream frog, monkeys scorpion, few birds and insects.

Great Tour with Lots of Animal Sightings - We really enjoyed our tour with Loan. He was very enthusiastic and funny and had eagle eyes. There were only five people in our group. Loan used his phone to take pictures from his night scope and shared them with us after the tour. We saw three sloths, a porcupine, a scorpion, a snake, several sleeping birds, including a tiny hummingbird (how Loan saw it, I do not know!), and some interesting insects. The tour was one of the more affordable ones we did in Costa Rica at $30 per person, plus a tip at the end.

Very nice - Our guide, Deyber, is very nice, experienced, knowledgeable, and speaking good English. He knows where to find the animals, and his words are: “this is my office”. Yes, he knows every corner and where the animals are hiding. Really feel that we are lucky to have him as our guide.

I would highly recommend Deyber - The tour was recommended to us and surpassed our expectations. Deyber was knowledgeable, friendly and spoke good English. He was very enthusiastic and we saw a wide variety of animals and birds that we would never have noticed We both day and night tours with Deyber and were sorry when they were over.

Excellent educational night hike - Our guide was wonderful! His enthusiasm for every animal, plant, and insect we found was contagious. The guide was so knowledgeable and took time to explain how each member of the environment works to keep the rainforest healthy. We had a lot of fun and learned so much!
