Jean was fantastic at identifying interesting animals on our tour and worked well with other guides to help us see the best stuff. He tailored the trip to our need and always checked in to see how we were doing since there were 3 kids under 7 on our night walk. The sloth under the full moon was a highlight of our trip! We also did a day tour in the Cloud Forest and both were fantastic experiences. This is THE GUY you want guiding your tour!
Just “wow”! Very personable with great expertise. We were able to see a lot of animals and got professional answers to every question!
This was my second night time adventure with Jean. Now I don’t think a trip to MV is complete without this night time exploration. Snakes, sloth, frogs, insects. Jean has the best eyes and positive energy to the evening to make it feel like you’re in full explorer mode. One of the littles on this recent trip was obsessed with frogs, so Jean made sure to find some for him! This is your guide if you want to discover a side of Costa Rica not many get to witness! Incredible! Plus- he’s an amazing photographer so you’ll come away with epic pictures too!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review! It was truly a pleasure to guide you on this nighttime adventure and to show you a side of Costa Rica that truly comes alive after dark. I’m very happy to hear that the experience felt immersive and full of explorer spirit. Spotting snakes, sloths, frogs, insects, and especially seeing the excitement of the little ones, his enthusiasm for frogs in particular made the tour very special. Thank you for highlighting the energy, attention to detail, and photography. Capturing these unique moments and creating lasting memories for guests is a big part of what I love to do. I would be delighted to welcome you back for another adventure. Pura vida, and thank you again! 🌿📸🐸
We had a fantastic experience with Jean. He provided clear instructions on what to expect for the night tour. He is very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. He knew the areas and conditions that gave us the best chance to see wildlife at night. We got to see snakes, sloth, scorpion and many other interesting critters. Without him pointed them out, we would have missed most of them. With Jean it was a very enjoyable and educational experience
I went out with Jean for a full day birding experience but also booked him for a night tour for my husband and myself. We were hoping to see snakes, frogs, tarantulas - really anything interesting. Once again, Jean was helpful and accommodating, particularly when we were a little delayed. While we were out he was diligent in trying to find wildlife. At night, things are probably even less guaranteed than during the day, but he was connected with the other guides in the area, and had certain spots that he knew to visit to try to see things. Jean was also super knowledgeable about wildlife, the habitat, and the overall area. That contributed to our enjoyment of the tour - we weren't just looking for things, we were learning about them too. I hope to meet up with Jean for another tour in the future, in Costa Rica or elsewhere, and I highly recommend him to others.
