Great night hike! - Excellent night hike led by our very knowledgeable and entertaining guide Junior. We were able to explore the coffee farm in the dark and were fortunate enough to see a variety of night life such as eyelash vipers, several species of frogs and insects, and a night hawk. I would highly recommend this adventure to other guests visiting the area.

Great coffee and a truly authentic guide - Junior walked us through the jungle around his coffee plantation. Incredibly keen eye to see The Red-Eyed Tree Frog, Kinkajou and many sleeping birds. The surprise was his knowledge of astronomy - showing us constellations, moons that are simply not visible where we live. He ground coffee beans for a cup so good we bought a bag. A perfect evening with a knowledgeable, kind and enthusiastic guide.

10/10 experience - Alan was such a kind guide who grew up in the area and learned everything about the flora and fauna throughout his life. He is very knowledgeable and spotted animals super quickly. The tour felt very personal and safe, because it is close to a coffee plantation. We saw the most beautiful animals in a wonderful location and with the scope he brought we were able to see them up close. We saw a kinkajoo, toucan, owl, spiders, scorpions, all kinds of crazy insects, other birds, 3x bocaracas. Overall a 10/10 experience! Thank you Alan!!

Perfect place for night tour - Our fourth day in Costa Rica, and we couldn’t have chosen a better way to spend the evening! We joined a wonderful night tour at this local coffee farm, guided through the forest and fields where we spotted many fascinating animals. The farm owner’s family was incredibly kind — they invited us to taste their homemade chocolate, coffee, and bananas, all so fresh and delicious. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an authentic night tour experience in Monteverde, Costa Rica! Nuestro cuarto día en Costa Rica, ¡y no pudimos haber elegido una mejor manera de pasar la noche! Hicimos un tour nocturno maravilloso en una finca cafetalera local, guiados por el bosque y los campos donde vimos muchos animales fascinantes.
