Daniella was a lovely guide and provided plenty of useful information/facts in English and her father was a great spotter. We were lucky enough to see a mother and baby sloth as well as lots of frogs and other interesting creatures, and capture great photos through the telescope lens.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniella and her father provided us with an amazing night walk and so much knowledge about the animals we spotted. We were even able to start spotting creatures on our own by the end of it! So many great opportunities to see the local wildlife of La Fortuna. Spiders, many types of frogs, moths, butterflies and lots of flora!

The tour was interactive and we saw many different plants and animals. We made our own tortillas and squeezed sugar cane for a drink, both of which were delicious. Very easy walk and small group size.
