While we had a fine evening there were some issues. The write up does not say the time is a ballpark time could be changed the day of by email. It does say it could be cancelled due to weather, but they need to edit this in the write up. We made all our plans around the time and heard too late to make changes, so we had to wait an hour at the meeting site with no bathroom. More importantly, you can't see the stars if this moon is too bright, which should be evident based on the phase of the moon. So, we paid for a tour where we didn't even talk about the stars or look up! Similarly they should be upfront that crabs are really only out at night in the summer. We had no real chance of seeing them. I have never had an experience where they advertised what you would see and it was totally not even possible. It seems a little dishonest to say the least. The tour guide was lovely and we had fun learning a little about some trees and seeing some spiders and lots of bats, but that was it.

If you are aracnophobic this tour is probably not for you as you will see some massive spiders. However if you like the jungle vibe, spotting wildlife and are looking for something a bit different this tour is great. Just be aware that you should have didi installed and setup as there are no busses running at night in the area so taxi is the only option.
