    Our night tour with Tracie and Gianfranco was absolutely fantastic. I can’t recommend it highly enough. We were all captivated by the information shared by our hugely knowledgeable guides. We saw a great variety of animals (both insects and mammals) in a short space of time and learned such a lot of fascinating facts about them. It was a privilege to spend time with Tracie and Giancarlo who are so passionate about what they do and eager to share what they know.

    I was so nervous starting the tour, but by the end I felt so much better. It was so nice to see people so passionate about bugs and creatures, they have so much knowledge! We saw so many amazing things and I felt so safe, even when we saw the Fer de lance Pit viper! Tracy and Jean were so friendly and warm, and made a huge effort to learn all our names. Please do this night tour, it is amazing!

    We had the most amazing tour with Tracie and her husband. I have never met anyone so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about bugs, snakes, frogs and anything nocturnal. I'm terrified of bugs and came away calmer and fascinated by the these extraordinary creatures. A truly amazing experience. We had done other "night walks" elsewhere in Costa Rica and I can honestly say you've not done a night tour unless you've don't this one! Both my daughters and husband also loved it
