Highly recommended! Jason provided us with a lot of information about the flora and fauna of Costa Rica. We loved it!
¡Gracias por la recomendación! Me alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaron del recorrido y que la información sobre nuestra flora y fauna haya hecho de la experiencia algo especial. Fue un verdadero placer compartir con ustedes la riqueza natural de Costa Rica. ¡Espero volver a verlos pronto en el camino!
Although I was never able to get to monteverde due to an unrelated shuttle problem (side note be wary of Bookaway), the guide was very helpful and responsive when I informed them of the situation, helping me get an immediate refund. Super friendly and helpful.
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. I’m so sorry you weren't able to make it to Monteverde due to the shuttle issue, but I’m glad I could help resolve the refund quickly for you. Your experience and peace of mind are always a priority. I hope you get the chance to visit Monteverde in the future!
You definitely need a guide for this trip as they know where and what to look for. Bring water and a waterproof jacket as it gets cool and damp. Guides have scopes to help you spot the wildlife and will help you take the best pictures.
Thank you so much for the helpful review and great tips! We are thrilled to hear that our guides helped you spot the local wildlife and capture awesome photos. Providing a top-notch experience with all the right gear is what we strive for. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon!
Firstly, you have to do this trip with a guide. They know exactly what to look for to find the widlife, are very knowledgable, and are in contact with the other tours when different animals are found in the park. We did the 6-8PM session and saw sloths, scorpions, snakes, birds. It was amazing and we learnt so much from our brilliant guide, Jason. Well worth the money and effort. Would definitely do it again.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We completely agree—having an expert guide like Jason makes all the difference when it comes to spotting nocturnal wildlife. We are thrilled you had such a memorable 6–8 PM tour and got to see sloths, scorpions, snakes, and birds! Your kind words mean the world to Jason and the whole team. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure anytime!
Great experience with a very good and knowledgable guide. Highly recommend it. We saw a lot of different animals thanks to Jason. He saw them everywhere. And he is so friendly :)
Thank you so much for the kind review! I’m thrilled to hear you had such a great experience and enjoyed spotting all the wildlife along the way. It was a absolute pleasure guiding you, and I really appreciate the high recommendation! Safe travels on the rest of your adventures!
Amazing experience. I would highly recommend it. Very small group. We saw so many animals. Jason was fantastic. The highlight of our tour was a margay. But even without it it was a unique experience.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! I’m thrilled to hear you had such an amazing experience. Keeping group sizes small is really important to us so everyone gets an intimate, immersive look at the forest. Spotting a margay is always a special, unforgettable rare sight, but I’m so glad you enjoyed the overall journey and atmosphere just as much. It was a absolute pleasure guiding you, and I truly appreciate the high recommendation! Hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
