Finca Lantana Monteverde
It’s a unique experience where we walk through the forest after dark, guided by the sounds and mystery of the night. We’ll be on the lookout for nocturnal animals in their natural environment—though sightings are never guaranteed, and that’s part of the magic. Every night is different, shaped by nature’s rhythm. Whether we see wildlife or simply enjoy the stillness, it’s a chance to reconnect with the forest in a peaceful, unforgettable way.

Exciting night
Great trip with Justin. We saw a lot. Tarantula, viper, scorpion, and much more. Justin is funny and the equipment with binoculars was phenomenal. Highly recommended. Justin knows a lot and explained everything to us.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Monteverde Guided Night Walk: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Monteverde.
How much does Monteverde Guided Night Walk cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Monteverde usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Monteverde Guided Night Walk take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Monteverde is not rushed.
Is Monteverde Guided Night Walk worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Monteverde, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Monteverde Guided Night Walk?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Monteverde Guided Night Walk suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Monteverde Guided Night Walk?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Monteverde can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Monteverde and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Monteverde Guided Night Walk start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Monteverde within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Monteverde?
+
On Outty we rank every Monteverde experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Original Canopy Tour Monteverde, Zipline, Monteverde Cloud Forest Guided Tour with Expert Naturalist, Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Tour (Regular). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Monteverde?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Monteverde?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Monteverde Guided Night Walk?
+
Included: Certified guide; Use of telescope; and Use of flashlight. Not included: Gratuities; Transportation; and Entrance fee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Monteverde Guided Night Walk?
+
Look for Justin right in reception and they will let you know who is your tour guide (Reception is a little house with a big sign of Lantana) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Monteverde Guided Night Walk offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Monteverde Guided Night Walk?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Monteverde Guided Night Walk if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Monteverde Guided Night Walk?
