nightlife tour - This tour was a great experience! i never thought i would be interested in hiking in the dark forests looking for insects and/or snakes. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see any snakes but seen many frogs and insects…I recommend this tour because it’s something that is out of the ordinary and that’s what makes it fun. It also ended with a delicious meal and ice cream!

Must book for Costa Rica trips! - This was the best Excursion my wife and I booked for our trip to Costa Rica. We both would highly recommend! Lots of amazing creatures and good gear provided to utilize the time the best possible way. Afterwards was dinner and we were served the best Strawberry Ice Cream I have ever had.

Awesome - This is one of the best tours I have ever done. It's very informative. Beautiful. He is very attentive and knowledgeable. This tour includes a meal of your choice, with drinks and ice cream as desert. They pick you up and drop you off from your hotel. They give you boots to walk in the forest. We got to see a lot of cool things, frogs, spiders etc. We also saw a waterfall where we were able to take a picture. Geirold is a good guide, I hope you have fun, if ever you decide to book this tour.

Pura Vida!! - This was an adventure! Our guides were excellent and we felt safe the whole time. We learned a lot about the different frogs, insects, lizards, plants and snakes we came across. We were very lucky to find an Eyelash Viper. Afterwards dinner at the Green Barrel was excellent. We highly recommend this tour for an adventurous family.

A+++ - Had a great time and dinner was delicious. I was disappointed to not have seen any snakes but maybe that was a good thing 🤣 He was a great guide and I can’t stress enough how great dinner was.

A must see experience near Jaco - Geriold was a wonderful host. He was so knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. He picked us up in Jaco and it was a short ride up the mountain to our starting point. We immediately started to see wildlife. It was a flashlight tour down a jungle stream jam packed with cool things to see. We saw 3 types of snakes, several types of frogs, and many species of spiders and luminous bugs. I was unsure when booking about the dinner included, what a wonderful surprise we had at the end of our tour. Dinner was at a secluded restaurant tucked into the forest. It was honestly the best meal that I had in Costa Rico. The lemonade is a must have. They had several dishes to choose from and the chicken that I had was absolutely perfect. I can't recommend it enough. This tour is given by a local farmer and he would love to have your business.

Fantastic nature experience - Fantastic, exhilarating excursion. I expected a well worn public path with some sights, but instead was happy to see this trip was real bushwhacking. We went across lots of narrow jungle paths, rough terrain including walking along a river bed and stepping across rocks. Every single step had us discover something new. Geirold and Stanley are both accomplished guides, who are very well versed in information on all fauna and flora what we came across. Just one warning, if you go on this trip you very well will come across animals who are dangerous (fer de lance etc.), but these two gentlemen kept everyone wary and safe. This experience went well beyond my expectations, and I would go on it again without hesitation. Thanks Geirold and Stanley for a great trip! P.S. I am remiss in not mentioning how good the restaurant is where dinner is served. Great location, delicious food, and friendly service.
