    What a fantastic, worthwhile experience.
    Chris, our guide was not just a fountain of knowledge but very passionate about his native wildlife and its conservation. It made us feel a part of it.
    We saw so many fantastic creatures that we would never have seen without his expertise.
    Worth every cent.

    Best hike ever! The waterfalls were incredible and the hiking was so fun! The horses were a great end to the hike and the food at the end was delicious. Worth every penny!

    Great tour and value for the money, you are given a torch and guided through a well trodden pathway. The guide is very informative and picks out wildlife you wouldn’t normally see with the naked eye. We did see frogs , birds , tarantulas , stick insect and a Salamander. Was two hrs well spent if you love your wildlife. Bilingual guides with scope , and also worth knowing they have toilet facilities at the start point.

    We have done a number of tours across Costa Rica and this tour was the best. The guide was brilliant, knowledgable and had a keen eye for pointing out beautiful animals and plants!

    The views were amazing. Our guide Memo was very great, informative accommodating, great English! The food they served us was delicious . We also really enjoyed seeing how well they treat the animals. Horses were able to freely roam along with the sheep and cows! I can easily say this was one of our best experiences here! Absolutely recommend this excursion!

    Marcos was an absolutely excellent guide for our daytime nature walk at Curi-Cancha reserve. On time for pickup, super knowledgeable for all things Costa Rica and biology, and patient throughout for our group of 4.
    Saw plenty of wildlife.
    Highly recommend!!

    Really enjoyed this night walk and got to see lots of interesting animals including a sloth eating, a Kinkajou, tarantula and side striped viper. Excellent guide with lots of knowledge. Definitely worth the expense. A highlight of our trip to Costa Rica!

    I cannot recommend the full day tour with Dennis enough!! Our whole family enjoyed our time with him. Dennis is incredibly knowledgeable about all of the animals and plants in Costa Rica - there was not a single question we asked he could not answer. But he also volunteered so much information we never even thought to ask for. Also he is amazing at spotting wildlife - there is not a single animal we saw with him that we would have spotted on our own. On top of all this Dennis is just a wonderful person, so friendly and engaging. His enthusiasm for the wildlife we were seeing was contagious. He also took so many pictures of wildlife and our family for us (this alone is worth the price). He also gave us recommendations for the rest of our time here, including making our zip lining reservation for us and giving us links to restaurants in the next town we are staying in. We highly recommend this trip!!

    An amazing tour with a great guide. Jean Carlo really worked hard to find us as many sightings as possible, and even went above and beyond to help us get pizza after the tour. Great young person starting his own business. Definitely please support him, you won't be disappointed

    Very interesting tour with lots of information. Still, not overly informative to bore you. We had a very funny guide, Julio. Highly recommended to take this tour.

    Mario is a top notch guide, other guides ask him for advice, he was incredible at seeing things no one else could (even other guides). Great sense of humour, very knowledgeable, and just a great guy.

    We’re very glad to have met and thanks for the awesome day!
