This is a must do if you are staying in Monteverde. It is set on an eco-tourism farm so that there are lots of sweet things around the property that the animals seem to flock towards. It's the equivalent of fishing in a stocked lake, but you are "hunting" to see the wild things at night. We had a great... More

We saw lots of great animals on our tour - a pit viper, toucanet, stick insects, a sloth REALLY close, 2 armadillos & a tarantula. We had a very friendly guide, however we felt he was a bit patronising in describing animals - this might be due to myself and my friend having studied animal behaviour so we know a... More

was Not sure how this would go but was pleasantly surprised to have such a fun adventure. We saw everything (but an owl)!!! although we heard them. Alex was excited and down to business and took us on a fast paced walk to go out if the way to show us some cool spots including a monster sized tarantula hole... More

We had fun at the night tour and saw a few animals but the tour basically brought you on a trail through a loop behind their house. The tour guide was very nice and overall it was a good time.

needed: sloth. Achieved! I'm not allowed to say how many since it was out of the ordinary, but lets just say, there are currently two babies with mama's for your lucky viewing pleasure. Love Grampa Chris!

This was an interesting experience, walking through the forest at night with flashlights they provide and seeing things you might not otherwise see in the daytime. Our guide, Antony, was very good at explaining what we were seeing. The first animal we saw was an olingo. Interesting how it moved like a cat (it is in the raccoon family). We... More

This is a MUST DO activity in Santa Elena. Groups are max 8-10, there are multiple guides all in walkie-talkie contact with each other so if one sees something all the groups get to see it. We got a discount for this trip as we were staying at the Pension Santa Elena ($20 pp instead of $22 pp). Our guide... More

After going on several tours & sanctuaries, it was a refreshing twist to go on a night tour. Many creatures are nocturnal and will often only be seen at night. They did a nice job at this reserve, provided small flashlights, and was reasonably priced. I would highly recommend doing this with a guide, you'll see sooooooo much more with... More

I can honestly recommend this tour which I decided to take. I paid 20$ for this 2 ½ tour, I was picked up around 5:30 in the hostel and at 6:00 PM we started the tour with our very friendly but most knowledgable guide who spopke fluently English thanks to whom we were able to spot many animals such as...
