Great!
We did the night tour in Monteverde with Marvin and we saw a lot of animals! Spider, snakes, bats, salamanders, frogs, glow worms... He shared his extensive knowledge of both fauna and flora. I recommend!

New Experience for the Senses!
Chris and Sergio and Wadi were great guides! Super helpful! They spotted so many critters and crawlers (snakes, spiders, sloths, salamanders, bugs, birds) on my night hike thru the Refugio de Vida Silvestre!
It was an incredible treat to be a part of this, wandering through the mountainous forest at night. Definitely a new experience for the senses! Watch out for those massive anthills!
Operator response

One of the favorites of our trip
Wow! What a beautiful visit with Sinwatours dreams in Monteverde!! The owner and a guide were with us for this beautiful private tour where we saw: tarantula, snake, porcupine, multiple insects, sleeping birds, toucans, lizard and more. Above all, the kindness of the guide Felix, the owner and his wife! Big bonus, the evening ends with tapas and hot coffee/chocolate in a restaurant! Amazing experience!! 😍

Unforgettable Night Tour
The night walk was amazing, we had the opportunity to see the animals in their natural habitat. The very well trained guide, with quite a knowledge about the animals in the area. An unforgettable experience for children and adults.

Strongly NOT recommended.
This tour was a joke! Complete waste of time. Our tour guide was not into his job either. We saw 2 little monkey-like mammals (native to CR), a scorpion, a tarantula and a few other bugs.
Don’t waste your time!
Operator response
Dear customer, receive a warm greeting from the Nightwalking Team SinwaTours.
Your comment is very important to us, as they help us improve our services every day.
However, it surprises us because, as you mention it, you saw that 2 small monkey-like mammals (CR natives) were very lucky to see those 2 mammals on their tour, one of them is called Olingo and the other is called Kinkajou and they are very difficult to see the 2 together, the scorpion, the orange-kneed tarantula and some other insects are very important attractions in the night walk. You were very lucky to see them.
At the end of the night walk the guide gives all the clients an evaluation of the service so that they leave their positive and negative comments and nobody left a negative comment that day all the comments were positive, all the visitors They were very happy to have seen the aforementioned mammals.
With respect to the guide, I would like you to write directly to our email sinwatours@gmail.com to follow up on your comment and explain to us what you mean by the phrase Our tour guide was not in his job either, since He gave them the service and without him they would not have been able to do the tour and see all the mammals, scorpion, tarantula and insects they saw.
Please contact us , sinwatours@gmail.com
Thank you for visiting Monteverde and taking the tour with us.
Best regards
