One of the best experiences we've ever had - Jason was our wonderful guide, we could see a lot of animals and enjoyed the experience very much. He also explained every detail we saw along the way. Unbeatable experience. Thank you very much

Educational and fun tour with Jason - There were only two of us and Jason, so we had all the attention and did more than planned. Very nice Customer with lots of news and facts about the trees, plants and animals that live there. Had a great time! We have seen a tarantula (luckily far into its hole) and a glass of frog and many beautiful birds.

Cloud Forest Nature tour with Jose - Jose was a very nice and informative guide for this tour. We learned so much, and even got to see the elusive Quetzal! It was easy to spend a couple hours with Jose learning all about the cloud forest.

Great Experience - Extremely Knowledgeable Guide - This was a fantastic experience, on the 8pm night tour we got to see plenty of animals including pit vipers, snakes, spiders, birds and insects. Jason was an amazing guide- he was very kind to take pictures and share many facts about the animals. I highly recommend this!

Customer Service was GREAT! - We weren’t able to attend due to the weather that day (very windy) and the fact that we have little kids, including a baby. Customer service was responsive and refunded us which we were very appreciative of.

Best guide for Monteverde Cloud Forest - Jason did a great job finding animals and explaining the forest ecosystem. He used his spotting scope to get us up close pictures of animals. We had great conversations with him. He is the best guide we have had so far on this trip!

Night Hike Monteverde 10/10 - The Night Hike at the Wildlife Refuge was one of my favorite moments of my first trip to Costa Rica. My guide Jason Rojas was great at showing us the animals that were invisible to the naked eye. I loved hiking in the woods at night with our flashlights. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Monteverde. I would do it all over again!

An amazing hike in the cloud forest! - We had a great hike with our guide Jason. Quetzal, spider monkey, hummingbirds in their nests and tarantula sightings to name a few were highlights. Jason was personable and easy to talk to and we learned many things about the cloud forest and Monteverde flora and fauna. Highly recommended.

Converted farm, now regrown into jungle for touring - We’ve done several night tours in Monteverde and this one was perfectly good. Our student guide was great (amazing English and knowledge) and the company accommodated our group at the last minute, which was much appreciated. The location itself was just Ok— it didn’t feel like true dense jungle, as they are reforesting farm land (a worthy endeavor!) so not sure if there was the same density of animals… we did see frogs and insects and (the highlight) a hairy porcupine. There are just so many amazing spots to choose from, so it’s easy to be choosy :)
