TESTIMONIALS
Denise Fleming
"We loved our experience! Our tour guide, Javier, was knowledgeable and fun. We saw many sloths, birds, frogs, snakes, butterflies, and interesting flowers. He showed us how to take pictures through his telescope and they turned out awesome! Definitely recommend!"
Venus Awards
"Loved this night jungle walk. Highly recommended. Wilton was an excellent guide and went out of his way to make sure we saw so many interesting animals, amphibians, birds and insects. He was very informative. One of the older members of our party who needs gentler hikes found the trail nice and easy. We got some great pics too!"

"We booked the bird tour and it was absolutely amazing! Our guide Javier started by asking us what we hoped to see (toucans) and he was in constant talks with fellow guides and was able to make sure we saw some. Also saw plenty of other birds, frogs, bugs, snakes, and a few sloths! Highly recommend."
