"Our guide was amazing. Really enjoyed our experience. Jenna & Jesse from BC."
"Our guide was enthusiastic and completely concerned about ensuring that everyone saw each of the animals he found. We covered a large area and saw tons of wildlife. He generously took photos with each of our cameras. We also paused a moment to see the starry sky. Just one note - Monteverde is at a high elevation meaning it is considerably cooler than the rest of Costa Rica. Take a sweater and long pants!"
"We took the 6pm tour which was already very dark. Our instructor was amazing! He was very enthusiastic and so knowledgable. He was able to find so many kinds of animals! We saw Kinkajous, a viper snake, a frog, scorpios, stick insects, birds, and more! I wholeheartedly recommend them for your night tour in Monteverde!"
