Our guide, Vini, was awesome! He was extremely knowledgeable about the plants and animals of the area, which he showed and explained to us. We enjoyed an easy walk to the spot where we got into the (… Full review by Adventure93260

This place was stunning. The birds were great and we even saw a couple of foxes on the way in. It was a bit muddy after a day of rain, but the trails are in good shape and the waterfalls, rivers, and… Full review by Brian S

I need to try and mix in some reviews that are less than 5* but this is not the place to start. Wife and I actually ended up here by mistake. I'd actually intended to hit up Mayflower Bocawina Natio… Full review by TravelFun_seekerz
My family and I are wanting to go here and just want to your the place by ourselves. How much would it be because I’ve been researching a lot of places and they say 100+ Per person
We're going in April. Is it better to go during the day or night? If during the day, is it better with or without a guide? If with a guide - from which tour company?

I would agree with the other answers about getting a guide if you want to see animals and the point on the main road. I would recommend going during the day. My wife and I booked through our resort. They drove us there and we told them what time to pick us up. We did not book a guide. We were there 1/2 day and saw no animals, but many birds. I would imagine that a guide could help spot a few that we missed, but not that much. If you are interested in the different plants and trees, then the guide would be worth it. A few other thing to consider: * the place is big and there are long trails, so plan ahead on the trails you want to hike. * the site of the airplane crash is worth seeing, but it is far from many of the trails. We asked our driver if he could drive us to the trail (which you pass on the way out) and wait 5 minutes for us. The plane is only about a 2 minute hike from the road. That worked out great for us, especially since we did it at the end of the day and we were too pooped to hoof it down the road to the trail. Ask if your driver can do that for you.
