Great wildlife spotting experience - Great experience. Saw lots of wildlife (armadillo, toucans, tarantulas, glass frogs, stick bugs among many other insects). Marco was an excellent, fun, knowledgeable guide.

Informative guide made for a fun animal-viewing evening! - Our guide, Dani, was very enthusiastic and informative. He was able to teach us quite a bit about the location while also pointing out many animals along the path. The trail we took was easy to navigate and not taxing, especially with several stops to view animals. Since we were in a small group, the guide was able to let us watch certain animals as long as we wanted without rushing us to the end of the hike.

Great night tour with Dani - We had a fantastic time with Dani. He was engaging, funny, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We saw so many amazing creatures, but of course this varies from night to night. Great night tour and definitely highly recommended.

Monteverde Night Tour - Dani did a great job picking us and dropping us off at our hotel for the tour. The guide, Stephen, did a great job pointing out the wildlife. Saw a bat eating a fig, an armadillo, toucan, hummingbird, and a tarantula!

We saw so many animals, he took care to get to know us and our interests in what we wanted to see, took pictures, ensured we had good views in the spotting scope, and even offered to pick us up and drop us off from our lodging. Went above and beyond to make the tour great. On top of that, the night was beautiful and the animals were quite active, so we got to see a lot of different things.

Saw more than hairy spiders - Marco met us and prepped us for the evening. He provided flashlights and tips for seeing receiving the most out of the eventing. Using his high powered scope, he helped us see toucans in the trees, tiny frogs across the stream, etc. Marco was patient and worked with us to obtain the best photos, even getting close to a huge spider to take the picture for us. Excellent guide.

Unmissable - Possibly the highlight of our Costa Rica experience so far. Marco's knowledge of and enthusiasm for the nightlife of the jungle was unbounded. We saw mother and baby sloth, sleeping toucans (both Monteverde varieties and a baby), spiders large and small, stick insects, a tarantula, a glass frogs and countless other creatures. Even the creepy crawlie-phobic amongst us loved it. Can't thank Marco and the rest of the team enough and can't recommend this highly enough. One word of warning - our viator booking hadn't come through to the team. They were charming and sorted it, but if booking on this platform you might be best advised to call Finca Lantana to confirm they have the booking.

Amazing Eyes for Wildlife - The tour itself was well organised, and Dani our guide, was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, and generous with insights about the forest and its inhabitants. Most impressive was his sharp eye, we saw a toucan, butterflies, bats, frogs, tarantulas and more was spotted that we would never have found on our own. Unfortunately, the experience was somewhat dampened by being grouped with a particularly disruptive parent and child. The child repeatedly jumped at the monocular (requiring constant readjustment and spooking wildlife for others), shone a torch in people’s faces, and generally disrupted the group, while the parent made little effort to intervene. Credit to Dani, whose patience and professionalism were seriously tested throughout. It’s a shame, as we fully appreciate that not all children behave this way or are allowed to. For future visitors, it might be worth the operator considering grouping families together, or at least offering adult-only groups the option to opt out of mixed tours. After all, everyone is there hoping for the same thing, a calm, memorable wildlife experience.
