The best night walk in Monteverde - An amazing night walk experience fit for a passionate wildlife enthusiast like myself. This tour had everything. An experienced guide named Donald Torres who help me identify around bird species like the common paraque, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects, spiders all in 3 hours. During the tour we were served coffee and cookies as a complementary gift. This property is unique due to its large size. It has one of the best lookout points in all of Monteverde. The open spaces are perfect for spotting predators like owls. The highlight of the trip was seeing a salamandar up close! It was clear everything was natural. No evidence of the owners feeding the wildlife like in other fake night walks. Loved the experience and will bring my family back!

Super nice! - We did a sunset night tour in the woodpecker park with guide Donald torres.
It was fantastic!
We did not see the sunset, because it was cloudy and a bit rainy but it did not matter at all! We enjoyed a cup of tea and of we went. Donald pointed out a lot of super nice things!
Like 2 types of tarentula, endamic frog and even a toucan and a green viper.
Donald has a lot of knolledge and we also did a day tour with him in the cloud forrest the day after. Super interesting.
Donald even answerd our questions about other creatures we found on other walks after the tours!
Super guide

Great unique night hike experience with Donald - Donald was an excellent and knowledgeable guide for our night hike, guiding us through this amazing privately-owned property. We started by meeting the kind family that the owns the property, enjoying sunset views, tea and cookies. Donald made sure we saw many unique and special animals that we likely would not have seen other places, including two green vipers, a boa constrictor, red eyed stream frog, scorpions, a salamander, and a pauraque (bird). Highly recommend to see some unusual and interesting animals in Monteverde!

If you are going to Monteverde, you shouldn't miss out! - An incredible experience from the beginning of the tour, where we managed to see the entire Gulf of Nicoya, from one of the viewpoints. We were fortunate to have an excellent climate. Donald, Dinia, Marita and their family make every moment treasured and lead us to commit to the importance of ecosystems and caring for the environment.
This was a night hike through the @woodpecker_reserve reserve.
I invite you to visit this family venture of indigenous people from the Monteverde area when walking through the area.

Fun and informative night tour adventure - The Woodpecker night tour was a wonderful experience for our group of friends. We started with tea and cookies at an amazing viewpoint to watch the sunset, then headed off into the forest with our flashlights. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals we saw and the ecology of the area. We saw a snake, birds, frogs, scorpions, spiders, and a mouse possum. We learned a lot, had a lot of fun with our guide, and got some great pictures. I highly recommend!

Once in a lifetime experience - An absolutely unforgettable experience! Donald was hands down the best tour guide I’ve had so far. He was incredibly nice, funny and knowledgeable. He was a treasure trove of knowledge and had an incredible eye. He went out of his way to find us wildlife and did a great job of helping us see and capture some of them. And did I mention he was funny? His energy and humor can’t be matched!
Oh, and the coffee/tea and cookies were a fantastic touch! The view for sunset is great!
I highly recommend doing this!!

Great experience in Monteverde. - We really enjoyed our sunset and night walk tour. It is a private reserve. We got to see many tarantulas and birds. Our guide Donald is super professional.

Night guided tour - Went on the woodpecker night guided tour with Donald in March 2024. It was great to have a private tour with just my friends and I. We had some tea & coffee before we began which was a lovely touch. Donald was very informative and knowledgable about the birds and creatures we saw. We saw a few different types of tarantulas, snakes, various birds and scorpions amongst others. More animals than I expected going into the tour! Also did a morning tour with Donald in the monteverde cloud forest which was equally great.

Really good night tour close to Monteverde - My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this tour. There was a very relaxt start to get the know eachother while drinking a coffee or tea in the middle of 3 different type of regions during a spectacular sunset. We had the luck that we were with a smaller group, so it was easy to raise all type of questions to our guide Donald who was able to answer all of them. During the night tour we had the luck to see 2 types of vipers, 2 types of tarantula's, 2 types of frogs (1 of these only exists in Costa Rica), some special birds that were sleeping, a special type of lizzard, a scorpion and some other special things. Donald made some really nice pictures for us to make sure that we will not forget this tour.

Greatest Experience in Costa Rica! - Our Host recommended this Night Tour and we were lucky to get a private Tour spontaneously the same Night. Donald answered (via WhatsApp) after less than 2 minutes!
Marita welcomed us warmly. Donald gave us a brief and very interesting overview about the three different forests that exist in Monteverde before we hiked up a little hill to have great local coffee & delicious biscuits while we watched the sun go down. Best view and sundowner we had in Costa Rica!
Then we walked through the forest while Donald was searching for animals waving around his flashlight. It was incredible how quickly he saw all these hidden (often sleeping) animals. We still don’t know how he could see a “green northern emirald toucan” sleeping up in a green tree ;) He wanted to show us a “red eyed frog”, but there was none by the water. Donald didn’t give up and in the end he found one and we could see his nice red eyes. His knowledge about the nature is unique and he answered all our questions. You can feel his passion for what he is doing!
Besides his studies for 7 years and being a professor, he is an expert in tarantulas!
We also saw:
- a Guanacaste Walking Stick (male and female)
- a Costa Rican orange-kneed Tarantula
- a Side-striped Palm Pit Viper
- a Lesser Violetear
- a Headlight Click Beetle
- a Brown Jay
Thanks so much for this great experience! Alex & Philipp
