Additional Information

Our tour aims to convey a different message to the community, particularly those solely dedicated to agriculture. While agriculture is crucial for Costa Ricans’ livelihoods, it’s often forgotten that cultivating crops requires sacrificing the forest, which serves as the habitat for many species.

On the way to our property, you’ll notice vast plains where the forest has been cleared for agriculture. However, our company has partnered with a family of farmers committed to preserving the forest, spanning 60,000 square meters.

In this way, our company supports this forest by paying daily entrance fees. Thus, we help this family continue to maintain the forest intact, providing a home for many animals.

We saw lots of animals, insects, and lizards! - Loved this tour! We had Angie and Ademar as our guides, and I was very impressed with their knowledge and enthusiasm. They seemed genuinely excited to find creatures for us to see, and I loved that. It was raining for most of our tour, but we had rain coats. Another couple on the tour didn't, but they didn't turn out too wet with the cover of the rainforest. We saw many animals including frogs, snakes, insects, a kinajou, bullet ants, and lizards. We all had flashlights and Ademar carried back up batteries (which my husband needed when his light went out). The property where the tour took place was lovely and very quiet and away from other people/properties. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Absolute best night tour! - If I could give this tour 10 stars, I would do so without hesitation!! Absolute best night tour and the coolest experience. The guide, Francisco, is very friendly and knowledgeable. He pointed out different species of frogs, scorpions, spiders, insects, birds, etc. and gave us tons of information on them. Fantastic, fun, authentic experience that I would recommend anyone in a heartbeat.

♪ An unforgettable experience with exceptional guidance ♪ - Our night outing in La Fortuna was fantastic. Francis did an excellent job explaining the plants and animals we saw. He found frogs, insects, sloths and snakes that we had never detected or identified by ourselves, and made sure we saw and understood their surroundings. Plus, he was our guide at Arenal Volcano, and he really made the park come alive for us. A wonderful guide and an amazing visit!

Highlight of our trip!! - A group of 4 of us took the night tour last night and it was absolutely wonderful. You could tell our guide Ademar loved his job. He would get just as excited seeing the wildlife as we did. We saw so many frogs, bugs , snakes and several mammals and we learned so many new facts about the plants and animals. I highly recommend!!! Amazing experience!!!
