100% worth it - My favourite tour of our adventure in Costa Rica. We learned so much from our guide Meno ( he is awesome and truly is passionate about the forest, nature, animals and sharing this beautiful part of the country with others...plus he was great with the kids) . We also got sooooo lucky and saw an active mama sloth with her baby, moving in the trees. We saw vipers, frogs, insects, birds and learned about the trees and eco system. This was an excellent tour that I would highly recommend. My children and I really enjoyed ourselves!

Fantastic wildlife experience - This tour far exceeded our expectations. Our family of seven (teenage kids) hoped to see some birds and ideally monkeys, and Albert our private guide found much more. He was delightfully interactive in answering questions and spotted a viper, various frogs, insects, and several birds including a sleeping toucan. We admired how the guides help out one another to identify the wildlife.

Incredible experience! - One of the highlights of our trip! I’d absolutely recommend this tour. Mauricio was so knowledgeable and a wonderful guide. We saw lots of wonderful animals and creatures and loved getting to be in the forest at night. A must for part of your Costa Rican travels!

Rainforest night tour. - My wife and I took the night tour in Monteverde with Alexander and it was very good. Alexander was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and fauna. He was able to find many "hidden" animals like lizards, click beetles(with orange fluorescent eyes), Orange belly trogon, and many more. He provided us with flashlights and he used a laser pointer to point to the animals. He has a telescopic viewer that he uses to allow us to see everything up close and he even took pictures for us using our cell phones. Overall, 5 stars for a Pura Vida experience!

Worth every penny! - Elbert was a phenomenal tour guide and was incredible at finding animals in the forest. He was so knowledgeable and was able to answer each and every one of our questions. He made the experience very enjoyable and I would recommend this tour to anyone stopping in Monteverde. 10/10!

Top experience - We had a super guide ( Alexander ) and we saw many animals ( snakes etc) our highlight was a sloth mother with his baby. Alexander took a lot of time. That’s exactly what we wanted 😊

Remarkable experience - Perceptive guide, Alex, enabled us to see and photograph great flora and fauna. Made the trip up to Monteverde worthwhile.

Very nice - We were a group of 4 people, but there were many groups on the way and everything was pretty hectic. Our guide was self-taught, it was okay but his knowledge was not overly sound. We walked 2 hours through the woods, saw some stuff, certainly more than without a guide, but still it was a bit disappointing. In addition, the battery of my girlfriend's flashlight ran out, since that was the only equipment we received from the guide, it would have been nice if it had been able to sustain the hike stably.

Ok but nothing special - I didn’t find it worth the cost. Expected more sounds and sightings. Guide did a good job of using the telescopic lens to view 5he animals he found.
