Jumping Armadillo - A wonderful couple of hours in the forest with Julian who was knowledgeable and engaging. He worked hard to try and ensure we got to see as much as possible. Every night would be different but we saw a Kinkajou, scorpion, tarantula, screech owl, several sleeping bird species, frog, stick insect and the highlight a surprisingly fast moving and jumping armadillo! All finished up with a delicious coffee or hot chocolate for the children(10 and 13). A wonderful experience in nature under stunning stars.

A Must-Do Experience in Monteverde! - Our night tour with Axel was, without a doubt, one of the absolute highlights of our time in Monteverde — and something everyone should do while visiting! Axel is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the local ecosystem, and he made the entire experience so much more than just a walk through the forest. We learned so much from him about the hidden wonders of the forest at night — from the tiniest insects to the larger animals that come alive after dark. Seeing a sloth up close in its natural habitat was absolutely magical! We also spotted a snake and so many other amazing creatures that we would never have found on our own. Axel’s expertise, sharp eye, and enthusiasm made this tour unforgettable. If you’re in Monteverde, do yourself a favor and book a night tour with Axel.

Axel was great! - We had a great time! Axel did a great job with our tour and clearly loves talking about nature/his country. He has a great understanding of nature and was eager to explain the things that we spotted. He also took really excellent photos on his phone that he airdropped to us so that we didn’t have to all take photos. We arrived a little early for the tour and made us some great coffee from the farm and explained a bit how the production works.

Night walk - The guy was great and we did see a few things just not as much as I have hoped. It was raining so that probably made a big difference.
