Phenomenal night tour exceeding all expectations. Thank you Sergio for your knowledge, enthusiasm, photography and passion throughout. We had an unforgettable experience. The setting is magnificent and we were blessed to see 2 different species of snake (one venomous and one not), 2 different species of scorpion, multiple frogs and spiders and more. Would highly recommend even if we were we think particularly lucky with quantity and diversity of wildlife.

It was very informative, saw many types of frogs and learned quite a lot about nocturnal animal life
Julie_M, Jul 2026
In night tour you are not likely to see monkeys, sloths, and other mammals. , but spiders, frogs, camens, birds, leaf cutter ants, scorpion and snakes. Fascinating tour with excellent guide, but not what we expected to see. Would recommend highly, just want folks to have realistic expectations.

Great night tour with Aaron. He was very knowledgeable and we saw a lot of creatures we wouldn’t be able to see on our own. He was also a great photographer! Would recommend!

Our family of 4 had an amazing experience. You truly need a guide to locate & capture these beautiful creatures in the dark.
I also have to point out how considerate our guide was as we navigated the terrain in the dark. 5+ stars!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you and your family back for another adventure in Costa Rica in the future!

Our guide Danny knew exactly where to look to spot many different species of frog, spider and iguana. Very knowledgeable on the area, animals, and plants, helped answer our questions, and made it a fun experience. It was even pouring rain at the beginning, which luckily stopped, but made it a true rainforest activity. I highly recommend to experience the jungle at night!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
What an amazing night tour adventure! You hit the nail on the head—a bit of pouring rain is exactly what makes it a rainforest experience, and it often brings out some of the coolest wildlife. Danny is absolutely passionate about our local ecosystem, so he will love hearing that he helped you spot so many unique species of frogs, spiders, and iguanas. Thank you for recommending our night walk, and safe travels!
Pura vida!
Kyle_G, May 2026
Our guide Danny made our experience great! He was so knowledgeable about both the animals and local history. He took his time for us to get all the photos we wanted and even shared all of his from the night (which were even better than mine!). We saw so many species of frogs, caterpillars, whip spiders, a caiman, king fisher, and more! We would recommend this tour and Danny to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are delighted that you had such a memorable night tour with Danny and got to see so many fascinating species. Taking our time so guests can get the perfect shot is exactly what we love to do. We truly appreciate your kind recommendation!
Ashley_P, May 2026
Danny was an excellent guide! We got to see a lot of wildlife, especially various frogs. I highly recommend a guided tour as we would've never seen the majority of the animals he pointed out on our own.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are delighted that you had such a great time with Danny and enjoyed seeing the local frog species. Our guides love sharing their passion for nature, and we appreciate you highlighting the value of a guided tour. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Kristoffer_D, Mar 2026
Our guide was very nice. He explained all important things about the jungle. I was surprised fro a beagle with lighting eyes. We see Frogs, Spiders, a Scorpion, Kaiman. Unfortunately no snake but that was not the fault of the guide :-)
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We truly appreciate your feedback! It’s great to hear that our guide provided a clear and interesting look into the jungle ecosystem. While wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, we’re thrilled you spotted the frogs, spiders, scorpions, and the Caiman. Thank you for your understanding about the snakes—that's the beauty of nature! We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon.

Our guide Johnny was fabulous. We saw monies, frogs, huge spiders. A really amazing experience we would never have had without a knowledge guide. Very cool. Would definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for the great review! We’re so glad you had a fabulous time with our guide and got to see so much of our local wildlife. It’s a pleasure to know he made such a difference in your experience. We appreciate the recommendation and wish you safe travels!
Julia_S, Feb 2026
This is a must do if you have someone who wants to see frogs, spiders, scorpions and snakes! We were a little nervous going in, but had so much fun! Always felt 100% safe and the guide was so knowledgeable. Just amazing to see the jungle alive at night.
I left my 5 year old at the hotel and that was the right move. Many times you turn off your flashlights to look for scorpions with a black light and smaller kids could get easily creeped out. My 9 year old daughter was in heaven!
You also get the most beautiful photos at the end included. Totally worth it!

Halden_S, Jun 2025
We went in heavy rain, and despite (or maybe because of that) my 16 year-old said this was his favorite activity of the trip! Our guide Danny was so skilled at spotting & photographing the nighttime animals, and so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the natural world. We saw at least 8 different species of frogs, including the glass frog, red eyed frog, the dink frog, the gladiator frog and many more, as well as birds, insects, mammals, spiders and ancient trees. We enjoyed learning about them all and experiencing the rainforest at night. We began to pick out the sounds of the different animals and my sons spotted some frogs themselves. The experience was smooth and professional, from the piickup & drop off to the photos airdropped at the end. We were soaked & still thought it was so worthwhile!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much Halden for sharing this wonderful experience! We’re thrilled to hear that even the heavy rain added to the magic of the night — and that it became your 16-year-old’s favorite activity of the trip! Danny will be so happy to know his passion, sharp eye, and knowledge made the tour so memorable. It’s incredible how many species you were able to see, and even more special that your sons started spotting frogs themselves — what an unforgettable adventure! We’re also glad everything ran smoothly from pickup to the photo sharing. Thank you again for joining us in the rainforest, rain and all — we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Linda_C, May 2025
I highly recommend this tour especially if you get Danny as your guide. The man who was helping him find things was also incredible. They were both off the charts astounding at finding animals. Danny brought a scoped wildlife camera on a tripod so we could see everything he found up close. He took pictures of everything and air dropped them to us immediately after the tour was over. The sounds in the jungle at night were truly symphonic. Just a wonderful experience!!
Response from Host, May 2025
Hi Linda!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review — it truly means a lot to us! We're thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience on the tour and that Danny (and his spotter!) made it so memorable. They really are incredible at what they do, and we’re lucky to have them on our team.
We’re glad you enjoyed the night sounds of the jungle — there’s nothing quite like it, right? 😊
We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Warm regards,
Judy_W, Mar 2025
Great experience! Our guide, Danny, was super knowledgeable and had an amazing ability to find even the smallest of creatures. We saw birds, monkeys, frogs, spiders, insects, etc. and our guide shared great photos he took during the walk. Easy hike on well maintained paths. Nighttime brings a whole different vibe to the jungle. We loved it. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Mar 2025

Definitely our best tour during our whole time in Manuel Antonio. Aaron was our guide and he was awesome at spotting so many thing. Aaron was able to find us a Kinkajou and a Fer-de-Lance snake among so many other night creatures. He was so helpful at making sure our photos were top notch through his scope. You do not even need a camera, just your cell phone and he was able to capture such great memories. Would not hesitate to book again! Just do it!!!!
Response from Host, Feb 2025

Please dont forget to recommend us to all your beloved ones.

MatthewC, Dec 2024
Good, knowledgeable guide who helped us see lots of different frogs and insects. Whilst the bilingual nature of the tour is a good thing for extending its reach having everything described in two languages meant animals had quite often left before half the party knew what they were looking for.

Melissa_S, Sep 2024
We had an amazing tour with Danny! His ability to spot and identify tiny frogs and bugs was absolutely incredible, and it was backed up by his interpretive information. We learned so much and have a new appreciation for the jungle at night. He used a blue light to spot animals that were otherwise totally camouflaged. He also spotted and then diverted us from the most dangerous snake in Costa Rica - it was amazing! Thank you Danny!

Pamela_P, Sep 2024
This was a huge waste of money. We saw 2 frogs, a spider, a snake - all we could have googled. The $275 fee was outrageous for what we receieved. Never again. I WOULD Not recommend this tour. What a huge disappointment, as this was the one thing my son was most excited about.
Ethan_H, Jul 2024
It was a good way to see amphibians and a few snakes. We also saw a tamandua, which was awesome, and some interesting arthropods and birds. I would say it was worth it, but it was not an exceptional experience, especially because my flashlight was absolutely terrible. I ended up just using the one of my phone. Other people had good flashlights though.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Hello dear Ethan we do remember you it was awesome to receive you guys at our property, thanks for taking a sec to share your nice experience at the Night tour where you were so lucky to spot some of the hardest ones to find like the Tamandua, we understand the flashlight was not the best and we would like to apologize for it and will work in making sure this doesnt happen again. Appreciate your feedback.
