Walter was awesome! We saw a sloth, birds, a pit viper and many insects. Walter was knowledgeable and very friendly. Ask for him!

I was a bit disappointed with this tour after having done another one with another tour company. The previous tour group had black lights, spotting scopes and a wealth of knowledge! (All for an extra 10-15$). We also saw quadruple the amount of animals, which obviously can be hit or miss depending on them. This being said, I felt like I needed to pull information out of Roy, as information was not given freely like previous guide. Often he would stop to socialize with other guides while we waited. I do not feel I learned a significant amount of information about the region and felt like I may have been walking around in circles on the SMALL enclosed property. The flashlights were given were barely bright enough to illuminate >3-5 feet ahead of you, let alone the trees (without the help of your guide).

This tour was a huge disappointment and actually left me feeling unsafe as a solo female traveler. We spent about half of our time walking down a road past private homes, looking up at power lines to "spot a sloth". I see more nature on my drive to work. The worst part, however, was the fact that my guide was intoxicated. He was so intoxicated that a hint of his breath was nauseating. I was picked up at my AirBnb by the tour company in a shuttle, yet my guide felt it necessary to offer to "pay for my taxi" to get back. Sure, if I like the idea of not making it back to my place. Luckily a nice couple on the tour with me offered a ride back. Avoid this place.…

Met Anthony for the night hike - saw sleeping birds, tarantulas, pit viper, frogs and two sloths, which we would have never seen as two-toeds are nocturnal. Wear good sturdy shoes and bring a flashlight if you can. They also provide one for you if you don’t. Lovely experience. PS these are night hikes and not a zoo visit. Some commented that they expected to see X, Y or Z and were annoyed with the guide. Go to a zoo or buy a photo book next time ;-). …

Saw quite a few things and guide was knowledgeable and funny. However we started 20 mins late and finished 10 mins early. So tour was 1.5 hours. Not 2 hours as advertised. Also it is only $25 if you pay in cash. For card they add the tax and it becomes $28.
