    Amanda_N, Apr 2026
    Our night walk was with a group of 5 people and a guide. We enjoyed it but there were so many groups out at the same time on the same trail so it was a bit difficult to spot animals. We saw quite a few frogs, a sloth and the best part was seeing a porcupine.

    Warren was our guide during the night tour, and it was unbelievable the amount of animals he spotted. Next to all the animals we saw, we learned a lot and not to forget, the fun facts he was able to tell us about the animals. The best end of our visit of Torteguero we could think of.

    Thank you for such a wonderful review. We are so happy to hear that Warren made your night tour unforgettable! He has an amazing eye for spotting wildlife, and we're glad you enjoyed his 'fun facts' and expertise. It truly warms our hearts to know that we were the best ending to your visit in Tortuguero. We’ll be sure to share this with Warren he’ll be thrilled! Hope to see you back in the jungle soon!

    The guide was superb. We went slowly away from other groups and he found an amazing range of animals - the best night walk we have done

    Great Night Safari

    Bea_M, Dec 2024
    Great night safari, saw lots of animals including multiple sloths, toucans, iguanas, snakes and frogs. Diego our guide was a great spotter, and saw so much more than if I went without a guide, he had loads of knowledge about the area and the animals. Would definitely recommend going on this tour.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    We are glad you enjoyed this activity and that you got to know a little of the diversity that can be found in Tortuguero. Pura Vida!

    Night tour

    This was a good tour. Saw sleeping sloths A pair of snakes breeding and other things. Walked the beach hoping for a leatherback as one was seen the previous week. Just starting to return to the nesting area.

    Completely misleading description; you're better off purchasing a tour in person

    Manzerul_B, Jan 2022
    "After a cordial welcome and check-in, then we will board the boat that will take us to the entrance of the trail." There was no boat. We literally walked around a chain of hotels a few hundred feet from their office. This is false advertising 2) "This tour/activity will a maximum of 7 travelers." We literally had to push our way through in order to engage with the tour guide who would show something to the people in front and then walk away, all during a pandemic. The listing should've reflected these significant changes. If I knew we were merely going to walk around some hotels with a large group for 2 hours, I wouldn't have even done this for free.  I've taken this up with Viator and they refuse to acknowledge the facts in the description even claiming that it didn't affect the quality of tour despite me remembering that no member of Viator was actually present for this tour.

    Impressive night walk

    FILIP_V, Mar 2026
    Fantastic guide who guides us through the night and with great enthusiasm points out us large and small animals. A winner!

    Nice experience, equipment to improve

    camilla_m, Jan 2026
    Beautiful evening walk of a couple of hours that allowed us to see many animals, insects and reptiles. Experience to do! The only flaw is that compared to other groups met both the guide and we had low illuminating torches (inferior quality equipment)

    We thought it was a nice tour in which we were able to spot many animals. It was great to see how excited our guide (Gabriel) himself got about seeing the animals and telling us about it.

    Viele Tiere und viel gelernt.

    Bennet_R, Feb 2024
    Wir haben die Tour mit nur noch einem anderen Pärchen gemacht. Der Guide hat viele verschiedene Tiere entdeckt und uns viel darüber erzählt. Wir hatten viel Spaß und würden die Tour wieder buchen.

    In Tortoguero eine Nachtwanderung mit einem Guide zu machen, ist rausgeworfenes Geld.

    Wolfram_S, Feb 2023
    Wir hatten eine Buchung vorgenommen, die deutschsprachig sein sollte. War sie aber nicht. Wird schon gehen haben wir gedacht. Wir wanderten mit ca. 20 anderen Gruppen den gleichen Weg und alle in hoher Lautstärke, wodurch von Anfang an keine Tiere zu erwarten waren. Der Guide beschäftigte sich hauptsächlich anderen Sachen und informierte uns über Spinnen, die alle 5 m zu sehen waren. Alles in allem - negativ.

    Response from Host, Mar 2023

    We regret to know that this tour wasn't under your expectations. Nonetheless, we apologise for any inconvenience. We would like to highlight that this tour is made by many groups on the same day with different tour guides; it is very likely that the park would be crowded since its a public space. We still give thanks for taking your time to write this message to us.
