We had a great experience...

5.00We had a great experience on this night walk with Brandon, he was experienced, focused on enjoying the environment in a eco friendly and sustainable way, and took his time as we made our way on the trail so we could really enjoy it. The walk took place in the jungle adjacent to the national park (as night walks in the national park are prohibited) where we saw frogs, spiders, moths, and an opossum. Because we didn’t get to see a sloth, something I was very much hoping for, he invited us to join the walk the next night free of charge (and we saw many sloths on that one!) highly recommend this tour
A BREATHTAKING ADVENTURE !!!

5.00My experience on the jungle tour was nothing short of magical! From the moment we set sail, I was completely immersed in the beauty of the untouched wilderness. The river, winding through dense green canopies, felt like a gateway to an another world, a place teeming with life, mystery and adventure. I highly recommend it!
Fascinating!

5.00Just came back from this night tour and I have to say that this was the BEST PART OF OUR TRIP!! It was so thrilling, exciting but at the same time informative. We saw so many animals like for instance the beautiful red eyed tree frog 🐸 , a big tarantula, an super cute opposum and very cool colorful snakes At first we were hesitating with other tours that are available in town but what really made the difference is the fact that you go by boat. It adds a tremendous sense of adventure for be whole tour. Plus, Brandon was so good at finding animals but also at explaining and giving us interesting facts about the animals and the ecosystem. We recommend 1000000% !!! 😁😁
Fascinating night tour.

5.00An unforgettable experience! My daughter and I really enjoyed this amazing night tour in Tortuguero. It was fascinating to learn about nightlife and look closely at a variety of animals, from amphibians to mammals. The guide is very knowledgeable and passionate, which made the tour even more special. Definitely an activity we recommend to connect with nature and discover a magical side of Tortuguero. We'd come back without thinking!
Great experience

5.00The tour was fantastic! We saw so many animals, especially spiders (which I love!). Our guide was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to teach us about each animal, as well as some plants and trees. We’ll definitely be back to enjoy this adventure again.

5.00Great experience! We loved this tour in Tortugero. The plus was that it mixes part water with a short exploration in the mangrove and part land, where we could see quantities of animals. We were with family and the little ones were delighted with their experience. The guide, whose name unfortunately I can’t remember, besides being extremely friendly, provided us with clear and super interesting explanations about the wildlife we were able to meet. I recommend!!
The best experience I have had in Costa Rica

5.00This tour has been by far the best experience I have had during my trip in Costa Rica. The first part of the tour was on a boat from which we got to see caïmans, several species of lizards and birds. Then we made the walk in the jungle where we saw a Boa, a sloth, various frogs including Costa Rica national colorful frog and a beautiful yellow snake. Our guide was very friendly and has great knowledge about the wildlife. The walk was easy and we felt very safe with our guide.

5.00Our best activity of the whole trip, we saw lots of animals and the guide was very patient to explain us well. A real pity we didn’t do it before because we would have done it a second time.
Simply fantastic
