This night tour was our... - This night tour was our favorite part of our trip to Costa Rica. We had an excellent, funny, patient, and knowledgeable tour guide Dani. He took us through the reserve at night and could spot incredible animals with ease. It was even more fun because we were all involved "hunting" for the animals at night with our flashlights (which he provided). We saw everything I could have hoped for and it was an absolute blast. I could not recommend this more.

10/10 would do again - Loved this! Monteverde is such a great town and this excursion was close by at a finca. The tour was two hours and my family loved it. We saw very interesting bugs like leaf bugs, walking stick, tarantulas, scorpions and also bigger animals like toucans and sloths! Thank you to Michael for a great time.

Thank you Kevin! - A wonderful experience. Our guide Kevin was knowledgeable, passionate, and considerate. He did a great job finding a wide variety of creatures both expected and unexpected while making sure everyone in the group got a chance to see everything and was having a good time.

Great tour! - We really enjoyed it. Our guide was super excited to find animals for us which we appreciated so much!! We saw spiders, small frog (how he found I have no idea!), various toucan, scorpion with babies on its back, “Martha” the tarantula, monkey, an animal similar to an opossum, two types of birds and near the end we quickly saw an Amarillo. Great tour- very fun to be in the forest at night! Great tour!

Do it! - This was our second night tour (we did our first in La Fortuna), and this one absolutely took the cake. The wildlife sightings were incredible—we saw a sloth, howler monkey, snake, scorpion, glass frog, several other frogs, and even toucans. The hike itself was enjoyable and well-paced, and the price was very reasonable for everything we experienced. Our guide, Kevin, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about what he does, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re considering a night tour, definitely go with this one. Highly recommend!

Great night experience near Santa Elena - Dani was an amazing guide! We were in a small group of 6 people (compared to some other groups that were 10 or so) which made for a more special experience. We found lots of wildlife including a scorpion, tarantula, stick bugs, sleeping toucans, and even a porcupine! We had so much fun on this tour, highly recommend!

A perfect Night walk - I was initially skeptical in booking a night walk however this was truly an amazing experience in Monteverde. Our guide Daniel was incredibly knowledgeable and spotted several animals himself. He came prepared with flashlights and a high tech scope. We were able to spot sloths, monkeys, a viper, hummingbirds, toucans, a tarantula, and several insects. I highly recommend booking this experience in Monteverde and I would also recommend Daniel as a tour guide. What a truly wonderful experience! Thank you Daniel.
