This was our first tour. We were the only ones on the tour with our guide. Before we even got the Butterfly garden our guide spotted a red poison dart frog, a wood thrush, a Mot Mot AND a Mama Sloth with a baby!!! We got some amazing pics with our guide's scope. I could see everything with my binoculars, but the scope of the guide was amazing. Then we got to the Butterfly Garden which was lovely. Got great pics. Our guide was super knowledgeable about all the species we were seeing and we definitely got a good education while on the tour. I felt so lucky we got to see so much on our first tour!

This is a lovely haven of nature and wildlife where you can spend a few hours. I did an excellent guided tour and was shown many new birds, lizards and even a caiman! It was very quiet and peaceful with hardly anyone around and a wonderful, very active bird feeder with a huge variety of birds. A great way half-day destination while in Arenal.

I had read reviews & selected Ecocentro Danaus because it offered so much - and it delivered! Not only did was our guide thoughtful & informative, but the propery provided great views of flora & fauna - as well as a brief presentation by an indigenous person from Costa Rica. We particularly enjoyed that as well as the butterfly area. Amazing photos will help us remember this wonderful place.

Our tour with the guide Elias was sensational, he explained everything so well that I could understand everything well despite my poor English. A very, very friendly guide with a lot of humor. It was also great to see a sloth mother with a baby and small caiman children and many other animals. It was also the first tour in which we learned a lot about the indigenous people and their history.
All in all, I can highly recommend this tour

We received this address from our lodge and we didn't regret it! Very nice tour with guide Melvin who could tell a lot about everything we saw. We saw sloths, caimans (at the time we went there were even baby caimans, which according to the guide was already 7 years ago), blue jeans frogs, toucans... There were no other tourists so we got a private tour. Highly recommended!
