Great tour with Diego - Our guide Diego was the best we've had since arriving in costa rica. Highly recommend asking for him to guide your tour. We have taken multiple tours since arriving in costa rica but none come close to the value Diego provided.

Great Night Safari - Great night safari, saw lots of animals including multiple sloths, toucans, iguanas, snakes and frogs. Diego our guide was a great spotter, and saw so much more than if I went without a guide, he had loads of knowledge about the area and the animals. Would definitely recommend going on this tour.

Creepy crawlies by torch light - Torch lit tour of the labyrinthine jungle just outside the village. Saw scorpions and tarantulas and sloths and a 9 banded armadillo. Jairo our guide was very helpful and knowledgable and we felt safe throughout. Small group of 5 people was excellent. No equipment required as they bring it all. Wear long trousers and closed shoes / boots.

Many animals observed with telescope - Despite heavy rain, the guide has discovered many animals. Again and again he set up his telescope with tripod and each person was allowed to see through once. So we could see animals high up on the trees. Highly recommended tour.

Nightlife - Excellent experience. Guide Marcos mastered the area perfectly, found many animals and also had infinite knowledge of biology. We saw sloth, toucans, iguanas, geckos and frogs among others. I recommend it

Unbeatable experience - The experience could not be better and all because of Marco's professionalism and knowledge. We learned a lot of marsupials, insects, birds, frogs, etc. And although it is a matter of luck, we saw them all: spiders, sloths, snakes, toucans, different insects AND reptiles and even an armadillo! The amount of information you gave us and the doubts resolved were endless.

Highly recommended, a great guide - We have done the tour with 2 other people. The small size is ideal to watch the animals carefully (other tours were somewhat crowded). We have been provided with flashlights (it would be recommended that they have a little more power, although they served their function perfectly). Marco, our guide, has shown us (and taught us) about the local fauna and flora. It is appreciated that you have carried a viewfinder (no other guide was) which has allowed us to observe the animals in greater detail. It was noticeable that Marco was an expert in the field of biology, he has explained everything in detail making the tour very enjoyable and interesting. The tour with Marco is definitely highly recommended.

I would not repeat with this company - The Guide (Berni) seemed to be in a hurry to march from minute one and seemed to resent having to do the explanation also in Spanish for us. We paid for a tour in Spanish and were joined by two English-speaking families. The operation of the spawning sighting seemed invasive and incomplete. It consists of seeing the turtle for about 15" rounds to make way for the next group (we meet with about six groups in the same place). Once you visualize a turtle in the 4 phases that allow you to see, you already have to leave the park.
