Unforgettable Private Cloud Forest Tour with George
Our private tour with George in the Cloud Forest was, without exaggeration, one of the absolute highlights of our entire Costa Rica trip and one of the most memorable wildlife and nature experiences we have ever had.
We decided to book a private tour with George, and this turned out to be a very good decision. It made the whole experience much more personal, relaxed, and individual. George was able to take his time, focus completely on us, answer all our questions, and adjust the tour to what we were most interested in.
The Cloud Forest itself is already an incredibly beautiful and fascinating place, but George made the experience truly special. We were able to discover an amazing variety of wildlife and spot animals that we would probably have walked right past on our own. George has an incredible eye for wildlife and a huge amount of knowledge about the animals, their behavior, and the entire ecosystem of the Cloud Forest.
What impressed us most was how respectfully and responsibly he interacts with the animals and the environment. You can immediately tell that this is not just a job for him — he is genuinely passionate about nature and has a great deal of experience.
On top of that, George is extremely friendly, kind, and easy to talk to. He takes his time to explain everything and is always happy to answer questions. We felt completely comfortable throughout the entire tour.
For us, this was an unforgettable experience that we will remember for a very long time. If you are visiting Monteverde and really want to experience and understand the incredible wildlife of the Cloud Forest, we can highly recommend booking a private tour with George. It was absolutely worth it! 🌿🐸

Very unique night hike experience
All I can say is WOW! This was such a great experience to see natural wildlife at night. One of the only tours in the area that provides night vision goggles to see wildlife more discreet without disturbing the animals. George was such an expert of nature and the elements around us. He provided a special touch to this experience for my birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a better evening to spend my birthday. Thank you again!

What a fantastic way to celebrate a birthday! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful feedback.
It is incredible to hear how much you enjoyed using the night vision goggles—it truly makes a world of difference being able to observe wildlife peacefully in their natural element without disrupting them. George is going to be absolutely thrilled to read your kind words; he takes so much pride in sharing his passion for nature, and he’ll be delighted to know he helped make your birthday celebration so special.
We hope the rest of your birthday year is just as adventurous and memorable. We’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable night under the stars whenever you're in the area again!

Enjoyable night walk!
We took an night tour the last day of July, 2026 at 6pm and George Jr. was our guide. We had an enjoyable evening as we got to see a large viper, toucan, owl, scorpions and all sorts of insects. He was great at setting up the scope and taking great photos with our phones. He also shared a wealth of information. I am still amazed at how he spotted some of the animals that he did. Our 2 kids (11 and 14) also had a good time and were not bored. The evening got cut short by a thunderstorm that rolled into the area. I will add that there are a fair number of guided tours at the refuge so expect to encounter other people. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend going with George!

Thank You!
Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re thrilled that you and your family enjoyed the night tour with George Jr. and that you got to experience so many of the incredible creatures that come alive after dark.
We especially appreciate you mentioning the number of groups at the reserve. In fact, your experience helped inspire us to make an important change. We decided to move our night tours to another reserve where we can offer a much more intimate experience, with smaller groups, less crowding, and more time to connect with the forest and its wildlife.
We’re always listening to our guests and looking for ways to make the experience better, so your feedback genuinely made a difference.
We’re glad the thunderstorm didn’t completely spoil the evening, and we hope your family takes home some unforgettable memories of Monteverde’s nocturnal forest. Thank you again for choosing George of the Cloud Forest! 🌿🦉🦂

Fabulous night walk
George is a fabulous guide, finding a variety of wonderful night animals, I think our favourite was the beautiful mottled owl, though its hard to pick a favourite! George took incredible photos for us with our phones too, and told us lots of interesting facts about the animals we saw. The whole family including teenage daughters loved it.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that George made the night tour such a memorable experience for your whole family.
The mottled owl is definitely a fantastic choice for a favorite—it’s one of those encounters that is hard to forget! 🦉 We’re also so happy that your teenage daughters enjoyed the experience. That’s always a special compliment, because keeping teenagers fascinated by the rainforest at night is no small achievement! 😊
George loves sharing not only the wildlife, but also the stories, behaviors, and fascinating details that make each encounter meaningful. And of course, we’re thrilled he was able to capture some great photos on your phones so you could take those memories home with you.
Thank you for exploring the nocturnal forest with us and for choosing George of the Cloud Forest. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure someday!

Magical night tour with George, would definitely recommend!
Our family of four booked to have a private night tour with George. I booked in advance and even from the beginning George was in touch to confirm our date. Communication was great, he gave us all information we needed before the tour.
George took us on the tour itself, we were a group of adults and teenagers and he managed to keep all of us engaged from beginning to end - not easy with two city kids! We saw a good amount of animals, insects, sloth, toucan and more. He helped us take the most incredible photos using his scope equipment. Even images of the insects came out looking professional.
George gave us such a magical experience in the forest. He is clearly passionate about his work and the animals he spots. We felt like we’d seen and learnt a lot without causing disturbance to the animals themselves. Would definitely recommend George of the Cloudforest to anyone who wants to have a meaningful experience with nature in Monteverde.

It means a lot to know that you enjoyed not only the wildlife encounters, but also the photography and the way we observe the forest without disturbing its inhabitants. For us, the magic is in helping people slow down, look closely, and discover the incredible world that comes alive after dark.
Thank you for trusting us with your family experience and for recognizing the passion behind what we do. We hope the photos bring back great memories of your magical night in Monteverde. 🌿🦥🦂📸
It was a pleasure sharing the forest with you, and we would love to welcome you back someday!

George never showed :(
After waiting for 10 minutes after the expected start time, another guide came and offered to take us on the tour for free since the one we booked never showed up. This other guide was great but i was definitely disappointed we didn’t get the night vision or the snack like was advertised.
事業者からの返答
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry that your experience didn’t go as expected.
We always arrive at the designated meeting point before the tour begins and wait for our guests. Since we were there that evening, it’s possible there was a misunderstanding with the meeting location and that you may have gone to a different spot.
We’re glad another guide was able to take you on a night walk, although we’re sorry you missed the experience you had booked with us, including the night vision equipment and the homemade snack that are part of our tour.
If this was indeed a meeting point mix-up, we wish we had been contacted that evening so we could have helped you find us right away. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity in the future to show you the full experience we strive to provide.
