Very cool activity and our tour guide was awesome. He spotted so many frogs, snakes and bugs that we would have never noticed. He also was dropping little history nuggets along the way which was very cool.

Wonderful knowledgeable guide who took us through pretty dense Forest to see the wildlife. We saw all kinds of frogs, snacks, a fruit bat, spiders and other insects, and a sleeping bird.
Great family fun!

Our guide picked us up in a really nice new van and we had a quick ride to the property where we did the hike. It was well organized and we had a small group of our family of 4 and another family of visitors. Our guide Jorge was knowledgeable and shared a lot of great information not only about what we saw on the tour but about Costa Rica’s biodiversity. Great tour for our family. A few notes for others, wear tennis shoes or hiking shoes if possible, we wore close toe Keens walking sandals but got bit by ants since they do t completely enclose your feet. Several of the flashlights died so if you have your own bring it as a backup or a brighter option. Overall we are glad we did the tour and had a great time!
The Night Walk was the Best!

The night walk was amazing! We saw so many snakes, spiders and frogs — the jungle at night was incredible. Brandon made the experience super fun and was very informative. Our 4 year old started to get scared of the dark and the snakes, but Brandon held her hand the whole walk and helped her feel comfortable with all of wildlife. All three of our kids agree this is the best experience on out trip to La Fortuna.
