An inspiring walk! - Wes and Robin were very knowledgeable and eager to share the beauty of the area. They were well prepared for night walk and found so many things for us to see. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and helped us get pictures of what we were seeing.

Highlight of the week to see wildlife during the evening! - This night walk was our highlight of our trip to La Fortuna. We saw different types of frogs, snakes, and spiders. Also saw some birds and a sloth. Our guides was incredible kind and knowledgeable. Robin and Wes are a couple and they compliment each other beautifully. They provided us with flashlights and taught us to use them to spot more critters.

Best activity in Costa Rica! - Absolutely amazing! Robyn and Wes are the best tour guides ever! We saw so much! Red eyed tree frogs, masked, even a reticulated frog!! And we saw a sloth, bats, spiders, centipedes, leaf bugs, toads, beetles, and so much more!! Must do activity for any nature lover. They found so many animals and had so many tips to help us find our own. They were kind knowledgeable and enthusiastic! They also helped us take so many amazing photos! The highlight of an already amazing trip! I'll do it again if I'm ever back in La Fortuna!

A different world at night - We did a private night walk with Wesler and Robyn and it was a wonderful experience. They are very friendly and made the whole tour feel relaxed and comfortable. The rainforest at night truly feels like a different world — we saw many frogs and even snakes. They are very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. A memorable and enjoyable night tour.
