Danny was hilarious, he is obviously very passionate about his job and the wildlife. He takes a path off the beaten track and doesn’t follow the rest of the guides and it’s really worth it. At one point he made us run to see a wild cat (which was well worth it and first he’d seen in 6 years!) we also saw snakes, monkeys, toucans, frogs, birds, frogs and other small mammals. Well worth the money. Thank you Danny!!!

Our guide Johnny was great! He is very passionate about his job and was great at spotting wildlife. He did a good job helping us see the animals and take photos. We learned a good deal from him. It was a great experience for us!

Full description

The adventurous experience starts right after the sunset, once the forest is dark. Explore the nocturnal activity of the forest. We do a short meet and greet before heading off to the trails. We also provide flashlights and safety advices and recommendations to be safe and comfortable during the tour. Optical gear is provided (spotting scope) With the help of your guide we explore the best hotspots in the forest to find the nocturnal creatures that we mostly see in day time. More variety of creatures at night. Around 80-85% of the Costa Rican fauna is nocturnal, definitely the odds are on our side. Keep in mind that nature is unpredictable, but we do our best to interact with our people and to provide a high quality and fun experience regardless of what we end up seeing. We invite everyone who wants to have fun, explore and enjoy nature with the help of a local expert. We do small groups for more quality service and we also have a completely private options, which is best if you are looking for personalization and exclusive experience.

Great evening with Danny from Olingo! Knowledge, friendly and helpful. Sloth, viper toucan, armadillo, bat & frog! Too bad the other couple went to the wrong location.
