We had a great night tour. The guides were very nice and explained a lot of interesting facts about nature and the animals. They answered our questions patiently, and thanks to their expertise, we were able to observe several animals. We had a lot of fun, and we were able to take nice photos and videos with the help of the provided binoculars. We recommend the 8:00 PM tour, when it is already darker.

Great tour from Jainnir
The evening walk with Jainnir was super good. He has a lot of knowledge and knows how to find all animals and insects. After an earlier night walk we had doubts about doing this one, but this was more than worth it!

Night in Monteverde with Finca Lanterna
Would not recommend this trip. Very chaotic. Had bought the ticket, at least 100 others went in there. No system. Finally a tour guide. Had paid 526 kr for nothing. All the 100 or more had to pass each other on small steep paths. Luminous flashlights, talk across made this trip to really feel cheated as a tourist
Operator response
Holaaa nosotros trabajamos con Finca Lantana xq ellos si tienen capacidad de carga y no entran más de 80 personas por horario y no nos permiten que el grupo sea mayor a 10 personas siempre tratamos de estar separados de otros grupos pero hay que tener en cuenta que trabajamos en equipo y reportamos los avistamientos y hay veses que hay más de un grupo ya que los animales no esperan. Gracias x su comentario trataremos de mejorar y tomar en cuenta su opinión en futuros grupos

Very nice tour and the guide was very informative.
Saw many great animals and reptiles in a very nice wooded area. Enjoyed the guide and the area. It is a hilly area!!!

Highly recommended
We had a great experience on this night tour. We saw so many animals we never would have spotted on our own, and the guide was amazing — incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and happy to answer all our questions. It was well-organized, fun, and a real highlight of our time in Costa Rica. Highly recommend

Wonderful experience
The guide was very nice and had a very friendly approach. He showed us lots of animals, we wouldn’t be able to see by our selves. He knew everything about any animal we saw and answered our questions perfectly. We do really recommend booking his tour.

Super beautiful adventure in the dark
We had a great evening with our guide. He shared his passion and knowledge during our night tour. We have seen plenty of insects and animals such as 2 toucans, phasms, butterflies, a tarantula, spiders, frogs, motmot birds and many others. The guide was super friendly, funny and very endearing. Bonus: he took great pictures. We highly recommend it.
