If you visit Monteverde, don’t miss the opportunity to discover the forest at night.
I offer you a guided night walk, in small groups and with personalized attention, with the possibility of observing frogs, armadillos, snakes, insects and other species that only appear at sunset. More than a tour, it is an authentic experience to connect with nature and live the magic of the forest when you really wake up.
Reserve your space and prepare for an unforgettable adventure

Return experience from the night outing with José

5.00Wow! We had a truly incredible experience. We, who are animal lovers, found that José fully fulfilled his role. He knows his environment extremely well and is very interesting. You can see that he truly lives in the moment when he calls us to look through his telescope once he finds a target. We can only recommend that you experience it with José. He speaks English extremely well, in addition to Spanish. Thank you, José
Best Wildlife Tour Guide!!!

5.00Highly recommend a private tour with Jose. He showed us a troupe of spider monkeys, 5 different snakes, and the most amazing birds and frogs. He was such a knowledgeable guide and was very engaging with our 8-year old. He seemed to love his job and really enjoyed sharing the beautiful flora and fauna of the wildlife park with us. 10/10! If we go back to the area, we would definitely find Jose again for a tour. We have been very impressed by Costa Rica’s tour guides and would never go back to sightsee at a wildlife area without one. They are oftentimes working at the same locations multiple times a week so they will be able to spot the “favorite” spots of snakes or other animals. They are also on a social network with other guides and share information - when one guide spots something interesting, they’ll share with the other guides so they can show their guests.
I highly suggest go with Jose

5.00Jose is absolutely the best guide that We met in Costa Rica. He just loves the nature and very proud to show people the beauty of surrounding at any time, day or night. Because of his knowledge he is able to find something that many other guides passing without paying attention. If you have any choice with selection of guide I highly suggest go with Jose.
A magical moment

5.00Great family activity. We first set off by boat with Tito and his team who show you the most beautiful spots where the fish are (I even swam above a small shark and a ray), and where the most beautiful corals are found. Then fruit tasting on a paradise beach to be joined by our super guide Tony accompanied by his telescope who has already done a spotting in advance to show you the magnificent wildlife that without him honestly we would have missed without realizing it. Thank you for making my daughter and I shine.
Well worth it

5.00Jose, thank you so much for the tour. We really enjoyed it and learned a lot about birds, monkeys, and various animals and plants across the different locations. We were able to observe them very well. In our case, the tour was during the day, but we will definitely plan to do the night tour in the future as well, since we know it’s also very interesting, especially for seeing frogs and other animals. We are truly grateful for the experience and recommend it 100%. It’s something we would definitely do again without hesitation.
"Excellent tour.

5.00"Excellent tour. The guide was very kind, punctual, and professional at all times. The reserve is very well-kept, and the tour is totally worth it if you are looking to disconnect from the city and breathe some fresh air. I would definitely go back. 🌲✨
The guide was very kind, punctual, and professional at all times.

5.00"An incredible journey through nature. Our guide has an expert eye for spotting animals that we would have completely missed on our own. Thanks to their patience and equipment, we were able to see species in their natural habitat in a very respectful way. A truly authentic and safe adventure. Five stars! 🦜📸"

5.00Jose was an amazing, knowledgeable guide. We had three kids with us (ages 8, 9, 11) and he kept them engaged and excited throughout the entire adventure. We saw frogs, snakes, scorpions, spiders, birds, kinkajou and so much more!
