Guided Night Walk in Monteverde

Mobile ticket

Nocturnal wildlife differs greatly from what can be seen during the day. From sloths, frogs, snakes and insects to sleeping birds, they are part of what can be found on a good night. With a flashlight and a lot of enthusiasm the experience of walking in the darkness in the middle of the tropical forest is something to remember.

We booked this nightour through TripAdvisor after reading reviews and were not disappointed. Rodiber was an excellent guide, extremely knowledgeable. He found: frogs, snakes, spiders, various insects, a scorpion, a sleeping sloth, a sleeping toucan, a hummingbird and bioluminescent fungi! We would highly recommend this tour as we would have walked straight past these creatures without a guide.
Rodiber is Spanish for “best guide”

We had a great experience with this tour. Rodiber was our guide and he was excellent! We saw all kinds of wildlife. Definitely worth it! I would highly recommend Rodiber and the location of the tour as well. Bring your rain gear and good hiking boots!

Stop looking for another night walk guided tour in Monteverde and book Rodiber! It was by far our best experience with guides in Costa Rica. Rodiber was like a hound dog with a single mission - find the animals in the forest and show them to hs. We saw so many different species of insects, snakes, frogs, an "escaping" sloth, and so much more. Rodi was able to find many more animals compared to the other guides. At the same time, he was very nice to share the "findings" with his colleagues. He sees and hears everything. It's incredible. Rodiber was very professional. He knows absolutely everything about the aninals, plants, the forest, and Costa Rica in general but he's too humble about it! Ask him anything and he'll know. He also tough us how to make great night-time photos.
Best guided tour in Costa Rica. Period.

Our guide was very knowledgrable and engaging with the kids. One of our boys wanted to see a scorpion and he went out of his way to find some and listened as our son told him all his facts about scorpions. He taught us about many other animals and found quite a few different species. The facility was crowded but groups were friendly and help each other spot animals.
Nice experience

It was a super cool experience! Marvin is a great guide. He’s very patient, friendly and very knowledgeable and passionate about the nature. We saw vipers, sloths, toucans and a lot of other things. And he went out of way to show us more things. I would recommend taking the tour!
