Ecogarden Arenal Night Walk

We had so much fun on our night hike. Our guide, José, was very informative and made our experience enjoyable. We saw so many things including slots, frogs, and a honey bear! Highly recommend!

We were here for the night tour and our guide Andrey is absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable, warm and funny. Lots of fun and wildlife spotted. Definitely a night well-spent! Can’t go wrong with Andrey.

Had a fantastic experience with our tour guide, Andrey who knew exactly where to spot the incredible and rare sloths, snakes, frogs, lizards, birds! Big thank you to Adriana who helped us with check in and setting up really nice empanadas and drinks. Highly recommend!

Andey is a particularly pleasant guide. He is enthusiastic, knows a lot and responds well to the wishes of the visitors. Highly recommended to go on the road with him!

The Ecogarden tour is on a plot of a families land. It is marked with signs that say Sloth tree, Caimin nest, Armadillo area, Creepy trail. I asked the guide about the sloth and when did they last see the Sloth. He replied, it’s been a couple of months. I asked the guide when they last saw the Caimin, he replied “a couple of years ago”. I asked if there are any armadillos in this area. He replied, “armadillos are little farther up the volcano”. Here’s what we saw, 7-10 mexican frogs, two toads, a white bird. The tail through this area is very trampled on so, I’m not surprised we didn’t see anything. As one consumer to another. I can’t recommend the Ecogarden Night Walk. Also, the snack was a black bean quesadilla with ginger honey tea. Both the quesadilla and the tea were cold.

Andrey is an incredible, kind and knowledgeable guide! I was with two friends and he took us around the jungle for two hours and taught us about wildlife and the local animals. He took the best photos for us too! Would highly reccomend.

This was among the best experiences of our trip. We watched a three-toed sloth climbing down a tree. So many different frogs, and sleeping birds. José made everything so interesting and entertaining. Highly recommended!

Young Joshua who led us through this small sliver of jungle paradise was on point. His ability to locate even the smallest and most hidden of creatures was truly astounding. From the poison dart frog practically invisible under a leaf to a slot who came down from the upper reaches of the canopy stop right in front of us, it was one amazing experience after another. Great hospitality before and after and a truly memorable evening for all of us!

The tour was amazing and interesting my tour guide was Andrey and he was an amazing host/tour guide. The information that was given was very knowledgeable and interesting I would recommend others to come and see this tour and explore this side of Costa Rica

My wife and I were recommended this walk by a local person who said it was the best one in the area. We were not disappointed. José picked us up at our hotel and drove us to his eco garden. We were given torches and spent just under 2 hours walking around this very interesting garden. José was brilliant and we saw sloths,a poison dart frog,many nocturnal animals including snakes and had had a really great night walk while José explained everything to us. Jose's knowledge is so impressive and matched by his enthusiasm and love for nature. After the walk ,we were given some ginger and sugar cane tea with an empanade while we discussed what we had seen. José dropped us back at our hotel. All in all it was a really enjoyable time and we were really pleased we went
