It's very informative.
Beautiful.
He is very attentive and knowledgeable.
This tour includes a meal of your choice, with drinks and ice cream as desert. They pick you up and drop you off from your hotel.
They give you boots to walk in the forest.
We got to see a lot of cool things, frogs, spiders etc.
We also saw a waterfall where we were able to take a picture.
Geirold is a good guide, I hope you have fun, if ever you decide to book this tour.

I was so happy and impressed with how much we saw during this tour, our guides where awesome and had a really good eye for looking for critters. Main highlight was spotting a Fer-de-lance snake!

Thank you for being part of the new night tour of the Jaco area 🦥
I’ll be here for a next time I promise 🇨🇷
Excellent value and perfect quiet night away from the city. Lots of animals and a fun experience in the dark forest. Very fun and exciting. Enrique and Ron are quite cool and let us practice our Spanish with them.

We love to take our time to make a difference ( the + mile ) your Spanish lenguaje is going in the best way will get perfect soon!
Thank you of being part of this dream!
I’ll see you in the next experience with us !
This experience is awesome! They take you into the jungle with real locals who keep you safe from the infamous Fer de Lance!! Their professional grade equipment makes seeing animals like sloths easier. Enrique/Gerald was an amazing tour guide who was super knowledgeable about all the animals and even helped me practice my Spanish!! The food was ‘aight.

I know the tour was great when i also enjoy it!
Thank you for reviewing our job !
This was such a fun activity. We would have never ventured out on our own in a jungle after dark in Costa Rica. We saw some pretty cool things and dinner was delicious. The guides were kind and friendly.

Thank you for the precious time shared with us!
We are very happy to know how good it was for you.
Thank you and pura vida!
The drive to the hike spot was erie, but once you arrive and get settled, you realize it’s all part of the fun and experience.
Gerald was an amazing tour guide, who had a lot of knowledge about the area, and a great respect for the animals and environment. If you’re someone who loves nature, and *ALL* it has to offer (expected and unexpected), this is a great tour to participate in. My family and I (an 11 year old and two 18 year olds) had an extraordinary time, and would absolutely do this again if we find ourselves in the area in the future.
Thank you for your expertise and care, Gerald!!
Great tour with great tour guide Jiero..Walking in uneven terrain involved but guides are there to help..spotted the most venomous snake in Costarica, most memorable experience

We highly recommend this tour. Our guides were fantastic! They took their time and made sure we were safe, while showing us things we never would have done on our own! I highly recommend this tour.

We hope to be here for a next time!
Thank you and pura vida 🫡
What a wonderful experience. Our guides Stanley and Alberto were awesome and good with kids. I took my 6 year old and they were very careful with him. My son thought the giant spiders were so cool. He loved using a flashlight. Geriold was the contact for booking and he had excellent communication the entire trip. The Costa Rican food after, was delicious. My son ate all of it!! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.
This was a fantastic experience. Our guides were so friendly and accommodating and really went out of their way to make sure we had a great time, stayed safe, and got to see as many cool things as possible. They even went out of their way to get boots large enough for my son and I since they didn’t already have our size. Overall it was a really great night hike, great food, and really friendly people. 10/10

Our night tour and jungle dinner on another level 💚🫡
Excellent guided tour through a river bed to a waterfall! We saw insects, birds, and snakes and had a delicious meal to end the evening. Highly recommend!!
This was great saw snakes, frogs and huge spiders! Trecked through jungle and a stream. Food was great too.
The tour started around 30 minutes late, because a couple was too late.To make up for the time we had to rush through the jungle, it felt very stressful to me.
The guides were trying hard. I think it would have been a good tour, had we started on time...

Daniela!
I was reporting all the time to you and asking if that was okay with you.
-You were free to say no but you said no problem.
-I was letting you know this situation i understand that waiting but i reported to you with good time always pending of you and our transportation .
next time be free to say no if you are not patience or if have no time!
Our service in general is perfect.
I really enjoyed this tour! The guide, Gerold, was very dedicated and responsible, showing us many amazing animals such as frogs, spiders, owls, and sloths. I also learned a lot of interesting facts. The food was delicious as well. Overall, I highly recommend this experience to others!
Amazing experience walking through the jungle at night! Geriold and Jose were amazing tour guides that kept us save and informed with all the animals. After the tour the dinner was magnificent. 100% recommend to anyone

Thank you for being part of it!
I wish you the best in life, thank you for every single conversation!
Hopefully there is going to be a next time in the Costarican jungle!
This tour was a great experience! i never thought i would be interested in hiking in the dark forests looking for insects and/or snakes. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see any snakes but seen many frogs and insects…I recommend this tour because it’s something that is out of the ordinary and that’s what makes it fun. It also ended with a delicious meal and ice cream!
This was the best Excursion my wife and I booked for our trip to Costa Rica. We both would highly recommend! Lots of amazing creatures and good gear provided to utilize the time the best possible way. Afterwards was dinner and we were served the best Strawberry Ice Cream I have ever had.
Great nighttime activity for the entire family. Best dinner of our 6 day Costa Rica trip. Tour guide was very knowledgeable.
This is one of the best tours I have ever done.

This was an adventure! Our guides were excellent and we felt safe the whole time. We learned a lot about the different frogs, insects, lizards, plants and snakes we came across. We were very lucky to find an Eyelash Viper. Afterwards dinner at the Green Barrel was excellent. We highly recommend this tour for an adventurous family.
The walk down the creek bed and seeing the various creatures was great! We safely saw owls, frogs, snakes, and spiders!
Absolutely awesome experience. The guides are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I wish we seen more animals but no one can control that situation. The guides certainly made every effort to find creatures. The hike is a bit challenging due to the uneven surface you will be walking on but not extreme.
This was a great tour! We saw a lot of wildlife and the guides were very active to make sure we didn’t miss anything. We felt very safe the entire time. We brought young kids with us, and there were a couple moments when they felt a little scared because we saw some spiders, but we all loved it and would do it again!
We had a unique night. The guides are excellent people and hosts, always prioritized our safety and passed on respect to the beings who inhabit the area. 100% recommended.
