Frog adventures - In about an 2 hour tour we saw so many animals. The guide did an amazing job explaining everything.. as a former biology major it was super cool to see animals I had only seen in videos and books. The from were so tiny.

Even better than expected! - We saw so much in such a short time it was hard to believe! Great location with lots to see and Melvin was a great guide. He was pointing things out that we would have never noticed ourselves. He also got up close to take great photos with my phone. I couldn’t recommend this more!

Great experience - The guide was very knowledgeable and patient with the little kids we had in the group. We managed to see most of the nocturnal animals that we hoped to see.

Lots of Frogs - We did multiple night walks while we were in la fortuna so we have something to compare it against. What we really liked about this night walk is that we felt like we saw our life more often, especially frogs. We also walked by a pond and 6 foot came in walked out in front of us. The guide seemed to think that that never happened before, and he didn’t know what to do that was pretty cool. It didn’t last long but at least we saw a bunch. We also saw a two toed sloth. You also can get into this park the next day for free when you take a tour.

Rainforest Night Tour - The night tour was incredible! Our tour guide was very informative and friendly. Make sure to bring bug spray! We saw a sloth, a cayman, many frogs, butterflies, and other insects. Would definitely recommend!

So much wildlife! - This was the best night tour of three that we went on! The title "frogs and reptiles" is underselling it. Our guide Joe saw a ton of wildlife, including an olingo way up in the trees, a sloth, caimans in the water, and of course the promised frogs and reptiles and interesting bugs!

Just outside of town and worth it! - We booked a night hike and unfortunately it poured rain the whole time! None the less our guide made the best of it. We saw a ton of frogs, Cayman, spider and some birds. he did his best to find a sloth but had no luck. The path was well taken care of and only a mile long round trip. Be sure to wear bug spray and bring rain gear. Our tour was small and again we made the best given the weather. The cool thing was our ticket got us entry the next day during the day. We went back and say more frogs, Cayman and butterflies. We even saw a toucan (only one of the trip!). This is a great small place to visit where you can see several species of reptiles, frogs etc.

It was a nice time in the... - It was a nice time in the dark. The guide was knowledgeable. But I saw more frogs on a day sloth tour. For less money

Very educational - Paz was our tour guide for the night walk. He was very knowledgeable and excited to point out everything he saw that night. We seen an owl, frogs, caiman, leaf cutter ants, lizards. The best part was the sleeping butterflies yes I mean sleeping butterflies And the life of the butterfly display. We even got to see the famous red eyed tree frog.
