Night walk - Saw a good variety of snakes frogs and insects, guide was very good at explaining ecology.. Group size was 7. I would think this is max size. Would suggest guide rotates people who follow him during the tour so different people get to be at the front- as sometimes at the back it was difficult to hear what he was saying .

Great for frog lovers - It was a very pleasant hike. He took a nice pace & we learned a lot about frogs and spiders. It was sort of magical to be in the rain for at night.

Creepy crawlies and hiking - This was a wonderful experience. First, let me state that I did a hike through the same area during the day and it was completely different at night. Our tour guide and driver were friendly. Our guide also had a good eye for finding a lot of animals. A lot of the animals spotted included a variety of spiders and frogs. We even spotted armadillos and butterflies. The hike itself was enjoyable as well. It's definitely worth the experience to see the jungle in the dark. You start at the top of the trail so it is a pretty easy hike down toward the entrance.

You will see frogs! - Great night hike - Kai our guide was awesome! He knew very much about the wildlife and plants - he was fun and had a good eye to find many creatures. He made sure everyone got a chance to see the plant or animal he was talking about - we saw spiders, snakes, insects, and of course frogs and toads. The frog pools at the end have a large variety of frog! It was a fun hike - lots to see and learn.

Great experience - This was such a cool experience. We were able to see many different things including a boa constrictor and red eyed frogs. Our kids- 6 and 7- enjoyed it as well and were able to help find some animals.

Not a bad tour by any means, but I've had better - Overall, this is a pretty good tour and is worth the price. Positives: small groups (not sure if this was just because of the slow season) of 6 people - the preserve that we went to was impressive Negatives: we moved very fast for our standards. When trying to find as much as possible, especially in a dense forest at night, my partner and I move very slowly and scan everything. The guide moved quite quickly and we were always far behind, finding things that the rest of the group had missed and calling them back to see it. - the lights that they provide are not great, we luckily brought our own - the guide was charismatic but not overly knowledgeable Overall: this is a hike geared towards the average nature enthusiast who is happy with not seeing very much. We are both very passionate naturalists and would have liked a more passionate guide.

Nice night hike - Great tour! Saw a good number of frogs and a couple of snakes! Tour guide was informative and warned us that nature is unpredictable so he wasn’t sure what we would see.
