Great walk in the woods. - Franklin was guide. He walked at a good pace and was very informative. Tour lasted a little over an hour and 15 minutes which was just enough for me. Bug spray was 100% needed and it was a bit more of a hike than I first expected. We saw some cool frogs, bugs, and plants. The hotel we started at was a bit difficult to find.

Best kids experience in CR! - Gustav was an amazing guide. His English was very good, and we saw a lot of different species during our walk. We were lucky to see a sloth, an armadillo, and a rare frog. My boys thought it was a great adventure!

Exceptional evening hike. - Spectacular evening hike, the tour guide Franklin was extremely knowledgeable about the forest and the flora and fauna. One bit of advice, use provided flashlights sparingly at the beginning of the hike, ours we fairly dim by the end.

Underwhelming and overpriced. - Was a bit of a disappointment and we felt cheated. The guide was late to our tour which started 15 mins late, and we felt especially hurried through the whole tour, as if the guide wanted to get done with this and go back to whatever his primary interest was. Most of the sighting was for frogs which seem to be congregated around artificial water pools created behind the hotel. Rest of the tour was through what did feel like a good natural area but your money is much better spent in the national parks and other preserves in the area - which are much more expansive with a lot more variety and can be explored at your own pace.
I’ve been on other night tours and I expected use of thermal imaging cameras that help spot a wide variety or animals and critters in the dark with plenty of time to observe. This was nothing like it but felt like a side hustle to make some quick bucks.

Over priced walk in the dark. Not much to see. - It is a pretty basic walk in the dark on a path. The guide tried to keep it interesting but there was not much to see. A daddy long legs spider, a frog, a cockroach, and maybe a bird at a distance. I have seen all of those things in my yard at home. Expensive.

Tourist trap - avoid this tour - This was the worst tour we went on during our trip. It was basically a walk in the backyard of the property. The guide was not able to spot anything; it didn't appear that he set out to spot anything in the first place - did not have a spotting scope (unlike another night walk tour we went on a different part of the country). He barely pointed out a few bugs along the way and a couple of birds, none of which he knew the species of. Otherwise he highlighted a few frogs which are in artificial ponds next to the building. This actually led me to suspect that these are planted like they put in tadpoles.
Not at all a proper naturalist-led night walk tour. A waste of an evening activity - beyond disappointing.
