Knowledgeable, funny, and attentive guide - Adrian was amazing. He was funny, knew so much about the jungle, and showed us many animals. We got to see the green frog with red eyes which was unreal. I highly recommend using him.

Amazing night hike! - Adrian took us on a great night hike in Refugio Nacional Gandoca-Manzanillo. He was a wonderful guide that had a good eye for creatures. We saw many spiders, insects, snakes, and a good sized eyelash viper snake! He was very knowledge about all the creatures and environment. My 2 teenage boys loved the hike bc Adrian was funny and found so many cool creatures - slingshot spider was a favorite. Transportation was included and was very nice to have pick up and drop off at hotel. We wore hats, rain jackets, long pants, closed toed shoes, and insect repellent. Would highly recommend this hike!

Wonderful and informational tour - Wonderful and informational tour with Adrian! Family 4 with 2 teenagers and they were engaged the entire hike bc of Adrian’s knowledge and eye for wildlife. Saw spiders, frogs, insects, and snakes! We were picked up at hotel and only people on hike. I would recommend this hike for anyone visiting area so much to see and hear after the sun goes down.

A Really Cool Experience! - I highly recommend booking your night hike with Adrian. We spent about 2.5 hours on the hike and managed to see a caiman, crabs, snake, tarantula, scorpion, spiders, stick bugs and a variety of interesting plants. We didn't see any mammals, but I wasn't too disappointed because we're in the woods, not the zoo. I really enjoyed the experience of being in the forest at night and seeing the wildlife was a plus. I recommend wearing hiking boots since some spots could be muddy and a bit slippery. I wore long pants and a t-shirt because I didn't pack a long sleeve shirt for my trip but I recommend wearing long sleeves. Bug spray is a must and come with plenty of questions!

Superb nocturnal adventure - The night walk in the Manzanillo Refuge rainforest was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to our knowledgeable and friendly guide Adrian, we learnt a lot about the fascinating flora and fauna of the rainforest by night. Adrian is exceptionally good at finding various animals. His calm demeanour and mindful approach of interacting with nature make you feel safe as well as aware of what is happening around you.
