Excellent night tour! - Very impressed with this night tour. Our guide Mauricio was excellent at spotting wildlife including birds, toucan, tarantulas, frogs, salamander, bats, possum, spiders and the most amazing viper that was the biggest we had seen during our trip. Mauricio was very friendly and knowledgeable and went out of his way to help us take photographs of everything through his scope. Very reasonable priced tour considering how much we saw. Highly recommend if you are in Monteverde and looking for a good night tour.

Love the Night Walk! - I spotted the tiniest frog I've ever seen! It's a pygmy rain frog and a baby, no less. The guide did it was the first time he's seen one. It was the size of a fingernail. That was the highlight.

Fun night - Fun experience! Chris was a great tour guide and helped us find things we would have never seen on our own, and helped take great pictures with his scope. It was a nice outing for our multigenerational group.

Passion for Costa Rican night forest life makes for a magical experience - Brandon the guide was so full of passion for the creatures of the night forest that he made the whole wet walk a wonderful adventure. I was so excited to actually see howler monkeys and kinkajou in the wild.

Great fun at the night tour. - The tour was very good. We saw frogs, toucans, spiders, grasshoppers and stick insects. A lot of time was spent searching for the creatures but that is a part of the tour. It was very enjoyable despite the weather.

Unprofessional guide - The guide seemed to have his own agenda not taking into account what our group wanted to experience. We felt rushed. The flashlights were not very bright. It did not compare favorably with the two other tours we had taken which were wonderful.
