Amazing experience! - We had an amazing night walk through the Monteverde Rain Forest with Johnny as our guide. When we arrived, there was a heavy downpour, so Johnny suggested we wait until it lightened up a bit. His patience and professionalism were impressive, and he made sure everyone was comfortable before we began. Once we started, Johnny’s expertise truly shone. He led us safely through the forest, pointing out all kinds of nocturnal creatures we would have missed otherwise. He spotted tiny frogs, insects, and even some mammals hidden in the dense vegetation. His knowledge of the forest was incredible, and he shared each animal's unique behaviors and habitats, bringing the rainforest alive even in the dim light. Thanks to Johnny’s careful guidance, we felt safe and fully immersed in this unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this night walk for anyone wanting a true rainforest adventure!

Can’t skip this night tour! - Johnny was absolutely amazing! His knowledge is infinite and his passion for nature truly shines and inspired me. We were fortunate enough to be able to see many cool animals including sloths which I had been trying to spot for 3 days prior to this tour, but not even 5 minutes into the trail Johnny was able to spot a female sloth with its baby a truly amazing experience! A special thanks to Johnny for being so informative and amazing.

Fun night-time adventure! - Amazing time and amazing tour! Johnny was funny and insightful as he showed us the local flora and fauna. We got to see monkeys, sloths, snakes, frogs and more! It was a rainy night when we went, so I recommend coming weather-ready.

Amazing guide and person - Johnny was amazing! He guided us through the Monteverde Cloud Forest and was very knowledgeable. Then we decided to go on a night tour with him as well. He arranged transport and we had an amazing tour. Johnny was a great guy who knows his stuff!

Amazing tour and an even better guide! - The best tour that we’ve done here in Costa Rica! Johnny has an almost supernatural gift for the wildlife and he spotted things that honestly left us baffled how he knew they were there. We saw a sloth, lots of different frogs and their nests, a very rare type of cave bird, spiders, two different types of mammals (a Wooly Opposim and an Kinkajou) and a Pit Viper. Johnny is very entertaining, experienced, and genuinely excited about the wildlife. If you have the chance, please don’t miss out on a tour like this, it’s a fantastic experience and very well priced.

Night walk with Johnny - We did the night walk with Johnny Loves Nature and it was a great experience. The forest at night is full of life and I'm not sure there's anyone who knows more about the biodiversity we had to admire than Johnny. We saw snakes, a toucan, many more animals, a great variety of plants, many of them with incredible flowers. I sincerely consider that a good Guide makes a difference because, in this case Johnny, discovered and found flora and fauna that would be impossible to observe by ordinary tourists like us. Besides, Johnny is a very nice character. The next day he took us to meet the cloud forest, another great experience.

Fun night tour - The night walk is a great tour and introduction to the wildlife in the cloud forest. Our tour guide Raul showed his passion for nature and had a great eye for detecting even the smallest creatures. The grounds are large enough that you never felt crowded by other visitors. The tour never felt rushed and is a great way to see wildlife from a close but safe distance.

Wonderful Night Hike - Really enjoyed the walk, wish we would've seen more though. But one can't expect nature to show up just because you're there.
