Was a little disorganized... - Was a little disorganized in the start, but our guide Raul was great and found some animals that we would have never seen without his help. We saw monkeys, sloths, snakes, an armadillo, birds, frogs and more. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure we all got pictures and saw the animals.

Great experience - Our guide Raul, was very enthusiastic and we had a fascinating tour. We saw some unexpected fauna for example a tiny mantis which mimics the moss it lives on. Also a side striped green palm pit viper on a branch over the track plus an arboreal porcupine, scorpions and tarantulas.

Great night tour of the forest. You see so much more with a guide. - We arrived at 530 for our night tour. Quite a number of people were there but we split into groups. We were in a group of 5 and Raoul was our guide. We saw a sloth and her baby, frogs, snakes, brown jays, moss bugs, a stick bug, and learned about the environment - things like how the Ficus tree grows around its host. We didn’t feel rushed. A tour like this makes a difference with a good guide. You could tell Raoul loved what he was doing. He was so excited when we found two moss bugs next to each other. He made the tour fun and special. During the tour, he used his scope to zoom in on what we were looking at and took pix with his phone. He shared them with us at the end. I’m glad we signed up for this tour.

Better transparency on pricing would have been appreciated - There is a second separate fee for entrance into this activity. Your guide was great. Trails were crowded.
