Family tour - This is a must do trip. We drove to a family farm and then walked through the farm learning about all their plants and wildlife. They went out of their way to find wildlife for us. We saw a giant bullfrog, the blue jeans frog, the red eye frog, and the smallest frog in the world, also a sloth. Very informative and enjoyable. The dinner was delicious.

Loved! - My boyfriend and I had a great time on this walk. It's hosted by a family who have a beautiful yard that you walk through to see different types of animals/flowers. We saw a red eyed frog, turtles, toads, lizards. The food was good at the end as well. I would recommend!

Pouring rain for our... - Pouring rain for our night walk - I should’ve brought a better rain jacket :). Saw plenty of wildlife though it was definitely more focused on insects, birds, and frogs than sloths or other mammals. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. The food was typical Casado, very good.

Beautiful tour, great food! - The night walk experience with Rebecca and Alejandro was amazing. Rebecca was so lovely and bubbly, and Alejandro was great at spotting wildlife. The Botánica Gardens in La Tigra are so beautiful, and you can tell Hugo and his family (the owners) are so passionate. Plus the dinner was delish!

Incredible! - This was so great! Our tour guide, Minor, had so much love and enthusiasm for even the smallest creature! We say so many kinds of frogs, including the Blue Jeans Poison Dart frog and the green tree frog, a fruit bat, a racoon, toucan, sloth, and so many little insect critters! The family was so kind and welcomed us with a glass of tamarind juice. The scenery as we ate was beautiful, and the food good!

Super Nightwalk with delicious dinner - The nightwalk was a real highlight. Well prepared we went first into the rainforest, where our guide guided us through the night with a lot of knowledge and a trained view. We were able to spot various frogs, sleeping birds, sloths as well as numerous insects that you hardly get to see during the day. What was particularly impressive was how many animals were found and explained in an understandable way even in complete darkness. After the walk there was a very delicious dinner where you could relax and relive the experiences. Everything was well organized, quiet and at the same time very informative. A perfect combination of nature experience and very good food (!) absolutely recommended.
