Great experience!! - Excellent tour. The tour guide was fantastic and clearly enthusiastic about the rainforest and the animals in it. His ability to pivot based on the animals and conditions that evening was impressive. He helped us see the animals through a scope and helped us take good photos on our phones, which was a nice bonus! We saw frogs, birds, spiders, and heard even more animals.

Great hike with many wildlife sightings! - Very knowledgeable guide. Loved the small group atmosphere. Saw many things, including a tarantula, frogs, sleeping toucans, bats, various insects, and even a sloth! Hike was moderate; the pace is slow so it’s very doable for most but it’s probably not suitable for those with mobility challenges. For us, it was just the right amount of “adventure” but not so much that we had to focus on the ground instead of the wildlife. Absolutely would do again!

Great night tour with Mauricio! - The night tour led by Mauricio was a great time. My wife and I got to see many creatures at night that you would not have the chance to see in daylight - such as fireflies, frogs, and tarantulas. Our guide was friendly and knowledgable, answering all our questions. It was a great way to take in our first night in Monteverde and would highly recommend this experience.
