    We booked the night tour for the day we arrived in Drake Bay and it was the perfect introduction to the forest. Groups are reasonably small (8 people, max) meaning that everyone has the opportunity to see everything and ask questions. Tracie and Gianfranco’s enthusiasm about creatures great and small is contagious – we learned a great deal and have a greater appreciation of the role insects and arachnids play in the forest. Their knowledge is vast, and they are eager to share it.

    Tracie and her partner lead an excellent night tour along the Drake Bay trail. I spent a lot of time on the trail during my stay and never saw any of the things they were able to spot during the tour. They have amazing spotting skills and were very knowledgeable about the bugs and mammals local to the area. We saw numerous spiders, frogs, possums, snakes, and many others.

    We had so much fun, we saw snakes, spiders (and learned how to spot spiders in the darkness) and scorpions! Highly recommended.

    I’m not a fan of creepy crawly things but this tour was absolutely incredible! Our guides were so knowledgeable and pointed out so many different creatures. This tour was a highlight of our trip for sure. A very cool experience.
