A Must Do!

We went on the tour with Johnny's brother, Deiber and it ended up being a private tour. He was great spotting different insects and animals and was full of knowledge! We were amazed that he was able to spot specific things up in the canopy (like a howler monkey)- really impressive! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend!

It was a tribble and expensive tour. We could not see anything interesting and we paid $75 per person! My biggest mistake in this trip!
Great night tour

Johnny was a passionate and knowledgeable guide. He was so excited to show us wildlife, and enjoyed answering all of our questions. He was also very attentive to taking lights off of the animals as quickly as possible so as not to disturb them. We got to see a mama and baby sloth, a sleeping howler monkey, and sleeping toucans, as well as a pit viper and a frog that was once thought extinct. The night sounds of the woods made it even more special.
Yes, this is the tour you don't want to miss!

To answer your question, yes, you absolutely do need to do a night tour of the jungle, you get to see a whole new side of it! Our tour guide, Johnny, was busy but we had his brother - Donderry (sp? we don't know the spelling) - to tour us. He was so wonderful. Impressive how they are able to spot all the animals. We saw sloths, birds sleeping, vipers, and spiders. I felt very safe with our guide, he was an expert. And a note - please listen to the guides. The guide brought his telescope and could get pictures on your phone through it so you have Netional Geographic quality photos from your tour! Also, recommend to bring your own flashlight. There was a family from Texas who would not listen to his instructions (surprise) and almost got bit by a viper. Trust your guide!
Amazing !!

Good guide, not as many animals as expected on a night tour.

The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw one large mother sloth with a baby. We saw a snake that wasn't very far away and not easy to see, a frog, and an owl.

The hike was incredible! Johnny has an amazing eye for finding the wild life and led us to some of the coolest views. Just some of the things he found for us included: a sleeping Tuscan, a sleeping howler monkey, a baby viper and an endangered frog!
Thank you Johnny for an amazing evening!
Best night tour!

We had such a great time! The tour guide was so personable and passionate about the flora and fauna. We thought it would be scary to walk in the forest at night but we felt very safe. We definitely recommend, we saw so many animals and took the best pictures! It was such an amazing experience!
Amazing Experience, Highly Recommend

Johnny was very flexible and accommodating. We showed up super early, and he gave us an awesome restaurant recommendation. Our guide was entertaining and really know what he was doing and where he was going. We saw many types of insects and animals. If you are student or learning Spanish, we booked the tour in Spanish but he would explain things in English if we didn’t understand. We ended up actually doing the later tour, which he recommended.

Johnny is hilarious. He makes nature walks through the rain super fun! This was a highlight of the trip between the creative narratives, local history, and adventurous scouting. We had many wildlife sightings and learned about the plant life too. We saw a viper, kinkajou, armadillo, red eyed frog and sleeping hummingbirds even on a cloudy rainy night. We felt very safe exploring the woods with him. He clearly has a passion for his profession which made the experience enjoyable. Highly recommend!
