This walk was amazing! There were so many animals out at night! including sloths! I usually don't like tours, because I think they are tourist traps, but this one was defiantly worth every penny. Hector was our tour guide and he was simply amazing! You can tell he loves what he does! This was one of the only places that... More

We booked through Hotel Oasis (Bryannar) and had an awesome little guide called Hector - nobody was more excited than him about being on the nightwalk. We saw sloths, tarantulas, kinkajus, racoons, grey foxes, sleeping kingfisher and toucan even some giant badger type thing that came right up close to us. It was 3 hours long so wear boots and...

We went on night hike with Andres in Monteverde and it was one of the highlights our trip to Costa Rica. He patiently gave us important directions in using the binoculars to focus quickly. This came in handy as we saw many mammals, bats, snakes, and insects in the wild. Andres is very knowledgeable and also is very personable and... More

very interesting experience - walking with a guide in the tropical cloud forest - watching the different animals and the flora around - also a day walk is amazing with walks on the hanging bridges plus of course to do the "canopy" or "ziplines" - you are on the top of the forest way above on a zipline riding from...

It was enjoyable, tour guide was Christian. I really liked the tour, the only thing holding me back was the lack of a sloth, but I can't blame them too much for that. The guide was friendly, and we had a great time. Cheers!

Our guide Christian was very intersting and spoke fluent english. The forest has a whole i aspect at night. It opens our eyes to see other animals we dont get a good look during the day. We saw spiders , toucan,and a sloth, other birds and two others mamals that i dont remember their names.

The night opens up a whole new world to see. Our tour guide was Oscar and he was fantastic. He was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We saw frogs, snakes, tranculas, wolf spiders, to name a few of the creatures that come out at night. Flashlights supplied were a little weak so if you have one of your own or a... More

I really hate tours. I avoid them at all costs. But, this was free so why not. I can't fault the variety of animals we spotted. Sloths, tarantulas, weird birds etc. Our guide set us up for low expectations (as they all do) and filled us with elation when we actually came across stuff. Their general knowledge of animals is...

If you want your money well spent ( NOT to a private owner but to the actuel nonprofit nat. Reserve) then definitly book your night tour here. They dont promise you jaguars and sloths but give you an expert explanation and guided night walk on bats, insects, caterpillars,plants and their adaptation to night life. Being in the pitch dark surrounded... More

I booked this tour through anywhere costa rica. On the night walk we were able to see many unique animals including a tarantula, coati and some birds that when sleeping they look like a ball. The company that ran the tour picked me up at the hotel in Monteverde on time and took me to the tour and dropped me... More
