Great! - We had a wonderful time on our night walk guided tour with Elias. He has a wealth of knowledge and his passion for this is clear - it felt like we got a small fraction of what he could have shared with us but the tour still took almost 2 hours. I was a little nervous about a night walk but the reserve is small so it's less intimidating. The small size makes it more likely that you'll see wildlife and it was manageable for our two kids (7 and 9). We were lucky to be the only ones on the tour at the time and saw all kinds of wildlife up close. I'm grateful for Danaus' conservation efforts and happy to support it!

An incredible outdoor classroom and nature observation. - Our tour guide, Elias, was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable on all subject matters and took his time to teach us as much as possible. It was less of a walk and more of an outdoor classroom with hands on experience and learning. He was able to point out so many critters that would have otherwise been invisible to the average participant. We walked away with some insane pictures of the wildlife all thanks to Elias, who in addition to being an amazing tour guide, was also a gifted photographer.
