Description
Located in the 7 wonders of Costa Rica in the cloud forest, the Night Walk has become a very attractive request by people who travel to this country to observe the great biodiversity that provides.

Justin did a great job showing us the local Flora and Fauna. We saw sloths, an armadillo, owls, frogs, tarantulas and beetles. He taught us everything he knew about each species. It was super fun learning new things about a new place!
Enjoyable night walk seeing kinkajou and an owl, some sleeping birds, bats, tarantulas, and ants. It was a full moon and there was a beautiful view with a night rainbow as well.
Seeing the cloud forest at night was a completely different and unique experience. We did the later tour (8pm) so that we could enjoy the sunset and while it would've been great to see the forest transition from day to night, there was still so much activity. Our guide was able to spot sleeping toucans, a tapir, and a tarantula! Pickup/drop-off at the hotel made it super easy. Highly recommend this experience in Monteverde!
Justin, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining, generous in giving us opportunities to take photos, and very good at finding unexpected sights in the nighttime forest, from a mother sloth cradling her baby in a tree high overhead to a bioluminescent scorpion to a sleeping hummingbird. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the natural world.
We had a great time with our guide, Justin. We happened to be the only ones on the tour, which made it even better. Justin was friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about all the animals we saw. We were able to see all types of insects, bats, sleeping birds, monkeys, an armadillo, and even a family of porcupines. Overall, this was a great experience and I highly recommend it. 5 stars for Justin especially!
Justin was a great guide. The trail isn't long, but there are a few steep areas. We saw scorpions, a tarantula, sleeping birds, and coati.
Such a great experience. Justin was our guide and he was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and humorous. He worked really hard to find lots of wildlife and took some detailed photos for us to remember this evening.
Justin was a fabulous guide (and driver). He found some great birds asleep in the trees and educated us in insects and fungi. I would highly recommend Faro Travel.
We had a wonderful night walk with our guide Justin. He was an amazing guide — very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about the animals and the forest. We got to see many fascinating animals, including a tarantula, an armadillo, several frog species, a sleeping howler monkey, a scorpion and even a porcupine. Justin shared a lot of interesting facts and made the whole experience engaging and memorable. Highly recommended!
