5.00It was an incredible experience. In a short span of time we saw so many different species of frogs and a couple of large snakes, sloth and insects. The whole experience in the night with slight rain at times was awesome. Our guide David was very good at spotting the small creatures. Highly recommend this tour at Papa’s Place

5.00Fantastic experience. First of all, the owner was so gracious with us. This harried mom actually booked the tour for the wrong month but we were accommodated the evening we showed up, whew. Our guide David was awesome: we saw many snakes, frogs, and a sloth. He is so passionate about wildlife and and clearly enjoys sharing his knowledge. My 11 year old was blown away!
Fantastic family experience.

5.00Our family had an amazing Night Tour with Papa's Place. It has been a highlight of our trip to La Fortuna. The tour itself was very well structured, and it was incredible to see how the family had prepared and maintained the ecology to maximize the experience. Our guide, Gabi, was incredible. She was so knowledgeable, so energetic and very engaging with the full family. She took the trip to the next level for us
Great experience

5.00This was our family’s favorite activity in la fortuna. We loved our guide, Angelica. She ensured we had a great time, came away with great pictures, and helped my two young children feel safe in the dark. We saw so many frogs and even saw a sloth and snake. Thanks for the great tour!
So good, we booked a 2nd tour!

5.00My 13 & 18 year old boys, husband and I just got home from our first (but not last!) trip to Costa Rica. Before we left, I scheduled the early morning Sloth Tour with Papa’s Place. Indira was our guide and she was terrific! Knowledgeable, personable and you can feel her passion for what she does. We learned a lot and really enjoyed ourselves. We saw 3 species of toucans, 2 species of sloths (including this cute guy), one of the Jesus Christ lizards, and more. We loved the first tour so much, we decided last minute to also book a night tour with Papa’s Place. David was our guide and we saw so many cool frogs, bugs and much more. I was glad we did both tours, since we saw different wildlife during each one. I highly recommend both of these activities if you’re staying in/around La Fortuna.
Wonderfully Knowledgable Guided Experience

5.00I had the pleasure of being guided by Andres and Biron. Very knowledgeable guides who love what they do and make searching for wildlife exciting and Interesting. I learned a lot and got to see many different species along the way. They will have a telescope to see up close and personal with the wildlife and the pictures are amazing! Two great men who will make you feel right at home while they teach about beautiful Costa Rica. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the beauty in the forest around you durning your visit! Thanks guys!
