★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 61 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $71Our pick

Start at 5:30 pm at Don Juan Tours for a guided look at Costa Rica’s coffee and cacao production, with tastings and a live chocolate demonstration. Then walk the farm after dark to search for frogs, sloths, tarantulas, birds, and other nocturnal wildlife. Guides such as Jorge, Luis, Carlos, and Brendan are praised for clear, friendly commentary.

“We went with my 2 year old nephew and Brendan our guide was so good with him, even gave him his own small flash light. We really enjoyed every part of the tour, learned lots about the chocolate and coffee process and got to try lots of different samples. The night tour part was great too. We saw a couple of toucans, spiders, a frog, some owls, and a sloth, plus another animal that I can’t remember the name of. Brendan was super informative all along the way, we really enjoyed the whole tour.”
