A very fun and exciting learning experience about night time in Costa Rica
Feb 2023 • Family
If you are coming to Drake Bay then you must take the Night Tour with Tracie and Jon. They do an outstanding job of showing you all the unique creatures that come out at night from bats to spiders to frogs. Tracie and Jon are very passionate and knowledgeable and you can’t help but get excited to learn about the diverse life that is here. Go on this tour you will not be disappointed.

Tracie was passionate about nature!
Jul 2021 • Solo
Tracy was so passionate about nature and it showed in her presentation. She was knowledgeable about different animals and insects and took her time explaining different plants and animals. She even went over the time alloted for the tour that make sure that we were having a good time. I would highly recommend Tracy. She's a walking encyclopedia!

Excellent tour!
Mar 2023 • Family
The Bug Lady tour was fun and instructive. There was two guides for a group of 8. While one guide was talking to us about a specie we were looking at, the other one was looking for other species. Both guides are specialists. One is a biologist and one is a naturalist. Both guides speak very well in English. We saw a great variety of different insects and mammals. I highly recommend this tour.

A Must-Do While in Drake Bay
Feb 2020
Tracie and Gian led us through a special evening in Drake Bay. Their ability to spot creatures that they clearly love is amazing. Once spotted, they tell spellbinding stories about the habits, habitats and enemies of each creature. Their knowledge and care for the creatures was thrilling and infectious. They brought equipment that made it much easier for us to see each creature despite the darkness. I will never forget the trap-door spider! We went down to Drake Bay to enjoy the bio-diversity, and we clearly would have missed so much if we had not gone on this tour.

Amazing Night Hike with the Bug Lady
Dec 2019
We just returned from a stay at La Paloma Lodge and had an amazing night hike with Tracie, the Bug Lady and her husband. My wife and I, along with our three girls (yes three girls) loved spotting all manner of spider, scorpion, frog, bat, and insect along the path adjacent to the lodge. We have never met anyone as passionate about bugs and insects as Tracie and her enthusiasm was infectious. Her knowledge is unmatched.
At night, the jungle is a completely different and wild place. Absolutely take the night hike. It is safe. Easy, a short walk on paved road, and fascinating.
They have a great set up with spotting scope, light, and iPad so that everyone can clearly see all of the animals they are able to spot.

Highly fascinating

Loved this part of my trip...extremely informative from two people who not only tell you what’s what but makes it fun at the same time. Worth the time effort and certainly the money...just love to have a copy of what we saw....I bought a cheap infra red light as a result for my next trip somewhere

Like being a IN one of my favorite nature documentaries!
Jun 2022
This was a phenomenal tour. I learned so much from Tracie and Gian. It was very well organized, and so much fun! We saw multiple frogs, bats, spiders and various other insects. With each one they gave us in depth information and after the tour followed it up with a list of what we had seen and further resources for more research. An incredible experience. Thank you Tracie and Gian!

Amazing!
Feb 2011
This tour is amazing. Tracy and her husband are great at finding the spiders, insects, and frogs. They are extremely knowledgeable about what they find too. It is at night in the rainforest, so it can be a bit difficult getting around, but it is a not-to-miss tour. You should probably arrange for it when you first get there as they book up fast. Also, it is awesome to see where most of the biodiversity is in the rainforest, as most of it is the insects, spiders and frogs.

It's also cool because Tracy says they usually see something they have never seen every 7-10 days. So you might see something never discovered before.

An Enchanting Tour!
Feb 2015 • Solo
I have been travelling in South and Central America for over six months now, and I have to say that this tour was by far one of my favourite things that I have done. It really opened my eyes to the finer and more discreet aspects of nature that I have otherwise overlooked and I left feeling completely enchanted by the whole experience. Tracie and Gian could not be more enthusiastic or informative, making them the perfect tour guides. I would go as far as to say that you should make your way to Drake´s Bay for this tour alone!
