Night Adventures in Monteverde
Description
We are a conservation space, where primary and secondary forests mix, surrounding a small coffee plantation. In this space, you can live the experience of a nocturnal adventure, walking along the trails in search of nocturnal wildlife, which waits at dusk to emerge. This experience gives you the possibility of going in search of this nightlife through small groups of less than 8 people (they are not private), guided by a guide who leads the group and knows every corner of the property. . In this space we have the possibility of seeing both active and sleeping birds, nocturnal mammals, amphibians, reptiles and insects, as well as a great view of the stars (as long as the weather allows it).

Great night adventure for those that want to see more wildlife. The guide was awesome and found kikajou, porcupines, several snakes, spiders and a scorpion.
Our night tour with Allan was truly a highlight! He was a fantastic guide and explained the animals we discovered—from tarantulas and other spiders to the porcupine and armadillo—as well as nature in a very simple and exciting way. We were also lucky to have a VIP tour, as no one else was registered besides us ☺️ Absolutely recommendable!
When you arrive at the coffee plantation shop, you wouldn’t be at fault for thinking you were being shown around someone’s backyard but what you soon realise is that the coffee plantation is in the jungle. He and his wife are huge wildlife enthusiasts - we saw so much, a sleeping toucan, armadillos, snakes, owls and much more. After doing a couple of more commercials animal tours, this was a breathe of fresh air and a glimpse into something special
The hike was quite a hunt for nocturnal animals and interesting night crawlers. We found a porcupine and sleeping birds in trees and many interesting insects. Alan was very friendly and easy to converse with. We learned a lot about Costa Rican culture and the creatures we encountered.
At first it seemed very scary, but once you get used to the feeling, you don‘t want to stop explore the forest and see more and more animals. Our guide Alan was very passionate about the wildlife and gave interesting information. He is a very open and kind guide.
This experience was great! Our guide was knowledgeable and did a wonderful job with our youngest daughter. He communicated with other guides so when they came across something cool they would share with each other so each group could see. We saw a porcupine, crickets, spiders, a butterfly, a scorpion, a walking stick, tons of leaf cutter ant colonies and so much more!
Great experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and we learned a lot. The hike was not challenging. My 8 year-old daughter and 66 year-old mother had no issue navigating the trails. My daughter LOVED seeing all the bugs. Our guide was so great with her. It was a highlight of our trip!
We had soooo much fun on this night walk, and it’s a lot less expensive than other options in Monteverde. Our guide Junior was amazing, and we got to see everything we wanted: a sloth, 3 kinkajous, an armadillo, scorpions, porcupine, and a bunch of frogs and beetles. Everyone was so kind, and they arranged transportation for us. Our driver Alonso was great too and helped us with our Spanish :) 10/10 experience. Muchas gracias!!!
Top, many animals seen (armadillo, scorpion, frogs, skunk, snake and sloth). Nice and competent host!
Junior is a genius coffee and wildlife expert. My girlfriend and I had the best time. I didn’t realize the coffee tour was included so that was a nice surprise. We learned so much about coffee and saw so many animals during the night tour including an armadillo, viper, some sleeping birds/turkeys and frogs. Lots of fun bugs too like the scorpions. 10/10 recommended
