“A total eye-opener!”
“I was a bit skeptical at first, but this tour completely changed how I view bats. Seeing them fly so close and hearing their echolocation through the special microphones was unbelievable. A must-do while in Monteverde!”

“Fascinating and super accessible.”
“We loved that we didn’t need to book weeks in advance. We just walked in, caught the 12:00 PM guided tour, and had an amazing hour learning about Costa Rica’s rainforest pollinators and pest controllers. Highly recommend!”
