    We saw a sloth, a scorpion, a sleeping toucan, a possum high up in the tree .: The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. This tour did not have as many animal sightings as i thought would be there .. The guide mentioned this tour is less popular, so it is more peaceful

    Excellent experience

    Sydney_R, Nov 2025
    Jason’s night tour was well worth it! He found animals that we never would have seen on our own. He also taught us about the plants and animals in the reserve.

    What a great tour. We saw many cool animals in this beautiful area. Olingo, tarantulas, pit vipers, butterflies, toucans, frogs, and more. Got photos that look almost staged but it was real.

    Alexis_C, Feb 2025
    Wildlife is never a guarantee, so I went into this experience hoping for a nice night walk. But my expectations were exceeded! Jason was such a cool dude with a great personality and so much knowledge about the plant life and wildlife. We had a great time and saw some amazing wildlife including a tinamou, moths, cockroach, scorpion, vipers, frogs, tarantula, clickbeatle, lightning bugs, AND OUR VERY FIRST SLOTH IN THE WILD!!!! Great day for wildlife.

    It was a fun informative walk, and the guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We were able to see several animals such as a sloth, porcupine, and tarantula, along with others. We would definitely do this again!!

    Amazing!! Thanks

    Dream come true - seeing wild green vipers

    Michael_B, Dec 2023
    We had a night tour for our five year anniversary. I am a biologist back home and was looking forward to the chance of seeing some Costa Rican wildlife (especially reptiles). Jason was a wonderful guide. He was extremely friendly and patient, allowing us to have our moments with the side-striped palm Viper- the snake species I was really hoping to find. We saw two kinkajous, armadillos, a sloth and a large anole lizard who was sleeping. It was a full tour and we really feel like we got our money's worth. We appreciated Jason's enthusiasm, and he tought us a lot about the local insects. He is a wealth of knowledge and you'll be lucky to have him as your tour guide. Thanks again!!

    Response from Host, Dec 2023

    Hi Michael, I am so glad to had made your dream become true, is always a bless of nature. Thank you!

    Great experience!!

    Kayleen_P, Oct 2023
    Jason was amazing! He was so friendly and so excited to show us all of the frogs and snakes we wanted to see! This was the best night tour we had ever been on! Will definitely be coming back next time we are in Costa Rica.

    Hello Kayleen, I am so glad about this! Hope you are doing well!

    Great experience

    Kevin_L, Sep 2023
    Our guide Jason did a great job in spotting things other guide probably didn't see. Also he made sure that everyone got a nice picture of the animal.

    Response from Host, Sep 2023

    Thanks a lot Kevin, is nice to know how you liked the tour with us. Blessings!

    An amazing experience for the whole family.

    Matthew_J, Aug 2023
    We had a fantastic night hike. Margay Cat was the highlight - the sleeping two Quetzel was the second—two hours of exploring and seeing the animals at night was a great experience that my whole family enjoyed.

    Response from Host, Sep 2023

    I am so glad as well! Is amazing how luky you were seeing so many nice animals!! Thank you for sharing...

    Worth it!

    Our guide, Jason, was extremely knowledgeable & added more when asked questions. Added admission fee was not clear via the booking on the website

    Response from Host, Apr 2023

    Very glad about the nice experience you have. The park entrace fee is not included, you paid just for the guide service. However, I will try to be more clear next time. Thank you!

    Our tour guide Jason was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly! I think the most memorable part was seeing a porcupine moving around in the trees!

    Night Tour with Jason

    Jaycee_S, Nov 2022
    The night tour was a highlight of our trip! It was so fun searching through the cloud forest at night. Jason was a great guide who we were lucky to get all to ourselves! He is very friendly and asks what you are hoping to find and does his best to find the critters! We saw so many neat things- a sleeping sloth, 2 snakes, 2 frogs, a tarantula, several birds, insects, etc. There are many guided tours going on at once and the guides often talk to one another in passing and let eachother know if they find a critter. It was a great experience and loved having our own personal guide and would recommend Jason to anyone!

    Response from Host, Dec 2022

    Thanks for your comment, we hope you are doing well!

    so much fun!

    Jason was our night safari tour guide and he was amazing!! he found and showed us all the animals we hoped to see! he was also very informative and educational and definitely knew a lot about the animals and their habitats. I would definitely recommend Jason for a guided safari night tour!

    Visit with very low percentage to see many species. Three birds a spider No frog despite a tantalizing photo In this park there are only birds and insects!!according to the guide who made a lot of effort to show us what little we saw

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you for your feedback. Wildlife is never a promise because is nature and is always unpredictable. However, since the first time in the introduction I clarify this, and the tour is not just counting number of species. It's a whole experience been in the forest at night, and the animals are added bonus. You never metion about the beautiful toucan that we saw, the tinamu bird, the video of the kinkajou on the very top of the tree that I did with your phone, the tarantula(not just spiders), the scorpion under UV light and more. Expectations are always an individual decision.

    Expectations exceeded!

    Humberto_S, May 2025
    Excellent experience through Jason....we saw reptiles, arachnids (tarantulas), insects, birds, scorpions, bats, fireflies, worms and much more on a wonderful night walk with excellent attitude from our guide.

    La vie nocturne

    JeanClaude_D, Apr 2024
    Cette visite nocturne est absolument à faire. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un bon guide qui a pu nous faire découvrir en plein nuit au bout de sa torche quelques espèces difficiles à voir en pleine journée comme serpents, araignées, paresseux, grenouilles, toucans....
