At night you see so much more - Great experience! At night you can see so many more animals, but do you need the Kinkajou's guides! They are very experienced they coordinate among each other so that everyone can see all animals spotted that night. My Group had a great evening.

Fun night! - This is a great and affordable night tour. Our guide was super knowledgeable and very respectful of the environment and animals. I think his name was Jerro? (Pronounced Herro? Ginger hair?) He took some great photos on my phone and he was great. The shuttle picked us up from our hostel which was very convenient. I see a lot of the reviews are upset about too many tour groups, but that didn’t bother us, as you go off separately for most of the time and only sometimes cross paths. We saw a Pygmy rain frog, a horned tarantula, motmots, toucanettes, trogons, and scorpions. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any mammals, but that’s just how wildlife goes. I enjoyed the leaf-cutter ants and learning about them. For 26$, this is worth it.

Great night tour - We got lucky to see many night animals… the tour guide was knowledgeable and very nice… we where small group so it was easy to see everything and hear the guide even if you were at the end.

Night tour Monteverde - An enthusiastic Guide (I think his name is Joaquin) who takes the time to show everyone the animals well. He explains every animal, and knows a lot about it. He spots animals from a distance I don't know how he does it, but he does it! Some animals (such as a green frog) we have not seen, but an animal that is threatened with extinction. It's never possible to predict which animals you'll see, and that makes it just as much fun! Recommended to do. We had a very quiet group (possibly due to the low season).

I choose to not go do hard to rate - I didn't end up going as the was a thunder/lightning storm and a lot of rain right before. I was tired and skipped the tour. When I reached out to the guide the mentioned that they make the decision about weather 20 minutes before and only cancel if there's lightning. I'm sure it would have been good and only dropped a star because I thought their weather decision process could be more clear on their posting.

A small glimpse into the night jungle - I'll echo what many say about there being too many groups going out at once. However, that aside, I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very informative, telling us lots of info about the animals we saw and some we didn't. We saw a scorpion that was biolumescent (my kids thought this was cool), a tarantula, a turquoise browed mot-mot, a fiery billed aracari toucan and got a really good view of a sloth. There was also a great moment where our guide searched for a kinkajou and it suddenly appeared out of the trees in plain sight. You have to be a little sensible about wildlife hunt tours, as animals do not always do what you want and appear. It was simply fascinating being in the jungle, at night and trying to look for things.

Lots of animals, but felt rushed and contrived - I did one of the night tours. While we did see lots of animals, including a couple kinkajous, I didn't much care for the experience. I felt rushed the entire time, which detracted from the experience. You're in a small group, among several groups, each with a guide, running around the jungle looking for critters. When you find one, you stare at it for a few minutes before running off to find the next one. Guides are on walkie-talkies to radio in to other guides whenever/wherever a critter is found. The guides are nice, but you certainly get the feeling they are just interested in making sure you see animals so they get a tip. Bathrooms on site. You will get a flashlight for the duration of the tour.

Not my Thing - First the positive - the guide was nice and we saw a lot of animals. However, it is a pretty mass event and we rush through the area, which we found stressful. I wouldn't book it again

Night tour - Night tour with a thunderstorm but protected by the Canopy of he forest. Saw a sleeping motmot, Kinkajou, one sloth. toucan and a scorpion. Surprised we saw no frogs or vipers. Lots of walking up and down at a fast pace

Disappointed - There are plenty of other night walks to chose from. This was not great. Too many other groups of people with flashlights on nearby trails and talking. Felt "staged." Also only got 90 minutes not two hours as listed.
