Great tour. Kids will love it. - Night tour involves chocolate only no coffee. Full process for chocolate making and each gets to actually hand make their own chocolate treat. The night tour is on solid paths. We saw sloths, leaf cutter ant colony, a large tarantula, frogs, etc.

Interactive, knowledgeable - We had Didi as our guide, and he was super knowledgeable and friendly. He let us get up close and personal with the chocolate and coffee-making process, which was awesome. We had a blast and took tons of pictures. Now we have a newfound appreciation for how chocolate and coffee are made. He even paused to find a sloth for us!

Wonderful tour. We saw... - Wonderful tour. We saw several types of frogs , a mama and baby sloths, lizards and birds. We learned a lot about plants and trees of Costa Rica. Our guide was amazing at finding the wildlife and very patient, making sure everyone saw things through his telescope and got pictures. It was fun tasting raw cocoa beans and making our own chocolate. Our guide was very enthusiastic. You could tell he loved his job and was proud of his country.

Best Experience In Costa Rica - This tour was absolutely incredible! Our guide was fantastic—so knowledgeable and passionate, making the experience both fun and educational. We saw an amazing variety of wildlife, from colorful frogs to exotic birds, and walking through the jungle at night was pure magic. The highlight was making our own chocolate—it was fascinating to learn the process and even better to taste it! Everyone at the farm was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re in Costa Rica, this is a must-do! 10/10—highly recommended!
