"Loved this hike!!!!! Best night hike of tour, guide was awesome!!!!!"

"Our guide was very good. We "met" several tiny frogs, a striped snake, deadly spiders and, incredibly, saw what looked like a wisp of cigarette smoke coming from the damp, sweet-smelling undergrowth. It turned out to be mushrooms sending out their spores to populate the forest. An amazing experience."

"It was very personable, we were the only ones on this tour. The guide was very good at finding animals and it was enjoyable. "

"Our guide was Amazing! We loved every minute of this adventure and would do this again."
