Definitely a must - Absolutely a highlight of our trip and highly recommend Oasis night walk. We were fortunate to have the extremely knowledgeable, friendly and considerate David as our guide. Saw 3 Fur-de-lance and 4 Eye lash Vipers, many Red eyed Tree Fogs ( even saw a pair mating) Yellow tubby frogs, Strawberry Dart frog, Hourglass frogs and many other species of frogs. Orb weavers, huntsman an incredible giant stick insect and the amazing Owl moth amongst other insects and arachnid species. David explained ecology and life cycles and ensured everyone had opportunities to view and take photographs whilst being respectful of the occasional other passing tour group. Thoroughly enjoyed, worth every cent of cost and would highly recommend to be on your bucket list. Thank you David, Oasis and Costa Rica. That's a double thumbs up.

Such a knowledgeable guide! - Such a knowledgeable guide! We had a thoroughly guided tour of the rainforest area seeking out frogs, insects and sleeping birds. Every effort was made to ensure that we could see, get photos and understand what we were seeing. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this tour.

Great, even in the pouring rain - Great tour even in the pouring rain. Wonderful guide. Beautiful red eyed tree frogs. We saw many frogs and toads. Very cool being in the rainforest at night in the rain.

Must do night hike! - I highly recommend this night hike! 2 minutes into the hike we saw beautiful tree frogs. Throughout the hike we saw more frog species, crickets, ants, snakes, mushrooms and were educated in the trees and plants that grow here. This is a tour for all ages. They provide you with a flash light, but the one I brought was brighter, and bottled water. Besides a rain jacket, No need to being anything else.

Very Cool! - It was so cool! Our tour guide David was knowledgeable and passionate. We saw snakes, frogs, a sleeping tucan, and other cool critters. There are multiple tours going at once so the different guides give each other a heads up of where cool things were so we could go see them too. But the tours are small and spread out so you have a lot of privacy and time to see things.

Awesome tour - Super staff and great night walk. Our tour agent (Charlie the Traveler) and his concierge (Travelux) told us the incorrect time to meet the tour bus. So, Arsenal oasis sent a separate vehicle to pick us up. The tour guide went out of his way to tell us about the things that we had missed for being late.

Overcrowded - great if you want to see other torch wielding tourists! - Great guide but he could do nothing about the over crowding. Yes we saw frogs and the odd snake……amongst the other 100+ tourists with torches. Not peaceful, queuing to get past each other in a confined area. They know how to charge but then over book a small area ruining what could have been good. Again - a lovely knowledgable guide but an expensive sub par experience owing to overcrowding. Shame.
