Fun and interesting!
The night walk with Pablo was fun and interesting. We’re still pleasantly surprised by the beauty of nature in the light of a flashlight! Our teenage son found it exciting, but also really interesting!
You never know what nature wants to show you because it’s not a zoo, it’s really fun to search for yourself. It's unbelievable how quickly he can spot an animal.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your family, especially your teenager, had such an exciting time on our night walk tour.
Nature in Costa Rica completely transforms after dark, and discovering its wildlife under the flashlight is always a magical adventure.
We are so happy to know he made the experience fun and interesting for everyone. We would love to welcome you all back on your next family vacation to keep exploring our beautiful rainforest!

Knowledgeable, friendly guide and so many frogs!
I was nervous about a solo night hike with just me and the guide, but it was incredible! Felt totally comfortable and we saw so many different species of frogs (and a few other animals)! Great family-run company.

Recommend the frog tour
Great tour and value for your money. We did a night tour before, which wasn't great, so we had doubts to do one again. Finally decided to do the frog tour, because on our penultimate day of our 4 week trip we didn't get to see the famous red eyes frog. The owner showed us many and helped us with a great picture. On top of that we saw much more, including a sloth, snake and many other frogs and toads. The owner was very nice and talkative and told the history of the place, which was a piña farm before.
Operator response
Thank you so much for visiting us! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed our trails and our tour. We truly hope to see you again sometime soon. Best regards.
