Angie found lots of wildlife that we wouldn’t have seen without her knowledge and experience. We saw a fer-de-lance snake, red-eyed tree frogs, rain frogs, swamp frogs and many more. A really enjoyable experience 😎

You can skip it if don’t have time

The guide and driver were nice, but the tour itself is a little bit disappointing. Didn’t see much spices, even less than a hiking trip. The night is less ideal for taking photos and there was a rain.

A fun adventures for families with children

Such a wonderful experience. I took my 8 and 6 year old sons and we all enjoyed the night walk. We saw many different types of frogs, snakes, insects and turtles. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the area. A nice excursion for families with young children.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Pura vida!! :) Thank you for this comment. We are very happy that you enjoyed it :)

Luck of the Draw

Mitzi_H, Dec 2022
The jungle was beautiful to walk through at night! It just so happens that there had been little rain when we were there so the frogs weren't as frequent. We did get to see some snakes, spiders, etc. Did see one red eye frog and the guide got good pictures for us.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

We are very glad you enjoyed the tour and the jungle. We hope that the pictures will be the best souvenir of the trip.

Best night tour

Clarice_F, Oct 2022
Guide was great, informative & helpful lots of frogs and snakes. Be careful thir everywhere. I took pictures of frogs didn't see snake until I went through photos. It was hidden from view under plants. Guide carries snake, pole moves plants so you get a better look at animals. I have done a couple of night tours this was the best

Amazing tour!

Mary_K, May 2022
Our tour guide was amazing and helped us see tons of snakes, frogs, plants, and other wildlife! We had an amazing time and we were recommended a great spot to eat dinner after. Definitely recommend this tour to see lots of frogs and other wildlife.
