Not your average night in Jacó - don’t miss this! - One could definitely spend the whole week at the Jacó beach, and a good part of the evenings enjoying the Jacó nightlife, but definitely don’t miss out on an Awesome nighttime experience through the jungle with our very knowledgeable and attentive guide, Geriold, identifying numerous critters of the dark including many spiders, frogs, fauna and spectacularly, the bothrops asper (fer de lance) (twice!). The experience was exhilarating! This was followed by a marvellous dinner at The Green Barrel Restaurant (family owned and operated in a beautiful tropical setting next to the jungle) and accompanied by great conversation with Victor, our fun and entertaining driver (part of the package!) who stayed close throughout the expedition. My husband and I LOVED the whole experience - We Highly recommend this adventure!

An adventurous night in the jungle! - What a unique experience to walk through the jungle at night. We spotted many frogs, toads, crayfish, spiders, centipedes, caterpillars, moths and a couple of snakes one being the Fer de Lance. We even saw a couple of wild cats up in the trees. We walked along and through several streams . The meal at the end of the hike was in a lovely little forest eatery and the meal was delicious. The guides took good care of us making sure we were safe and were also very knowledgeable with information about the wildlife we saw. A great experience and a short 10 minute commute from Jaco.

Fun night time tour - My husband and I had a fun adventure that took us out of our comfort zone a bit, which I liked We were driven down a long, bumpy dirt road and then we parked and started our jungle walk. We honestly didn't see a whole bunch of critters but we did see a few (bird, snake, spider and other insects). The ambiance of walking, in the jungle, down an actively flowing river bed, that started from a waterfall, coupled with the rain, and being in Costa Rica was priceless! Geriold was a wonderful guide and was able to spot the smallest of insects so easily. He took us to a restaurant close to where we hiked that had wonderful food. I definitely recommend this tour if you want to do something different.

About yesterday - The tour started around 30 minutes late, because a couple was too late.To make up for the time we had to rush through the jungle, it felt very stressful to me. The guides were trying hard. I think it would have been a good tour, had we started on time...

Never more - Our guide did not come to the meeting point. One day, and second day the same. He sended the message to us, that we will meet, but it was not true....
