About
Small-group nature tours that lean into after-dark and off-crowd timing: a night hike on a finca turning up frogs, spiders, a kinkajou and a star-filled sky, plus mangrove boat and kayak trips. Guides get named again and again for sharp wildlife-spotting and a firm no-animal-feeding ethic, and most trips finish with fresh fruit. Expect boas, herons, sloths, iguanas and monkeys.

My husband and I were able to book this night hike with little notice and yet, we had terrific communication with the tour guide leading up to the meeting spot. The meeting spot is super easy to find (we had own transportation) and Andres promptly met us there. It was clear upon initial conversation with him that he is incredibly knowledgeable! On the way out to the finca he stopped to show us yellow throated toucans and pointed out other sounds we were hearing. Upon arrival at the finca, Andres fitted us with boots, we were able to use the bathroom and then we headed out on the adventure. While nature is unpredictable, we saw so many things including spiders, a basilik lizard, a heron, kinkajou, several frogs, frog eggs, a salamander some other reptiles and to finish the hike a beautiful sky with stars out! We received cold water and refreshing fruit at the en of our hike. Andres was able to share information with us about the history of the land as well as information about the creatures we were seeing. We had lots of questions and he was super patient in answering all of them. This night hike offers an ability to be away from crowds and to have a real authentic Costa Rican hike in the natural surroundings. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants an experience out of the ordinary!
We did the night mangrove tour and had a fantastic time. Special shout out to guide Andreas and captain Augusto as their wildlife spotting skills were phenomenal. Andreas was so passionate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable he really made the tour special. We're hoping we have him again on the other tours we booked!!
Great tour, Allen has taken good care of our safety and paid extra attention to the river bend on animals. We enjoyed amazing time with playful monkeys onto our boat, saw two crocodiles close up, and most importantly a sloth on top of a tree, thanks to the sharp eyes from our captain. Also saw ants moving leaves and crabs etc. The fruit plate is sweet at the end of the tour.
