Amazing tour! I ended up being the only one on my tour because a bus of 5 others was delayed. My guide Greivin was an absolute ninja at finding wildlife on the El Establo trails. Very fun tour!

We arrived at around 8:45 to the place and had little trouble getting set out on the walk. The sights were interesting, as I had never been in Costa Rica before and had never been on a nightwalk. Being in the dark with nothing more than a flashlight and the neighboring flashlights of those around me filled me with adrenaline, but I also had my reasons to post such a low rating. The tour guide, whose name I don't remember, was nice and funny throughout the hike, but as we continued there was less and less to see. More and more there'd be periods of silence and no animals worth seeing, and those worth seeing were only allowed to be seen in groups that decreased in number (because the tour guide said so). He'd say "come in groups of five or six," and there were twelve of our travel group. But as we went on he asked for smaller and smaller numbers when looking at an animal. While someone saw a cool animal everyone else was left standing on the trail in the dark with their flashlights. Of course, there were good things that came from the nightwalk, such as I got to have a stickbug climb up my arm, but it also had its issues. I'm neutral on recommending this place. If you see a lot of animals, it's luck. Not convenience.
