Monteverde Night Walk Tour: the night life of the forest
Description
There is more active fauna at night, so this tour has a higher chance of seeing wildlife. It takes place in a transitional forest (warmer and slightly lower in elevation than “cloud forest”). It lasts about 2 hours and includes private guide, transportation and entrance fees. If you are looking for a fun activity for kids and adults alike, you will definitely enjoy a night tour. Many mammals, birds and insects behave differently at night, and there are always wonderful surprises in store, like sleeping birds, nocturnal mammals, and lots of interesting bugs. Your guide will lead you on a safe walk through well-kept trails. Night tours are so popular that a private tour is really the only way to go to avoid the crowds and have your guide's full attention. We look forward to hosting you!

Wonderful tour, getting to learn about various insects and nighttime wildlife. Even got to see a viper snake! Tour guide was patient, interactive, and made for the best night!
Marco was excellent and offered lots of information on insects and birds that were seen in the refuge. He is very enthusiastic and friendly
The night walk was amazing. We saw a viper, a sloth, many frogs, a tarantula, a sleeping bird and an armadillo.

Our guide was great at explaining the ecosystem and pointing out different insects and mammals and explaining there part.
Great tour. We got to see a viper, a tarantula, a tucan, a glow in the dark bug, two other birds, the cool ants hard at work, and a butterfly. Our guide also told us about the trees that come strangle other trees.
Kevin was an awesome guide for our night walk. Despite the cold, rainy weather, he was able to spot many animals and insects for us on our walk. Very friendly and personable, so we had a wonderful cultural exchange as well. highly recommend!
Night tour with Pasíon Cost Rica and Marcos was a great time for our family. Marcos was kind, knowledgable, and adaptable. He also picked us up and dropped us off at our accommodation. We were able to see several animals during the tour. Of course you can’t ever predict what will be seen given they are wild animals but Marcos did his best to get us in view of some. We saw an emerald toucanet, side stripe palm pit viper, many types of insects, a few types of birds, and a few frogs.
We enjoyed our night tour with Jason who was very knowledgeable about the animas in the forest. Saw a scorpion, snakes birds fros and various insects.
It was fun! Marcos was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable. He knows all about the animals, insects, birds and plants in the area. I highly recommend!
