Sleeping tucans!
Had a very nice tour with Junior, he know very much about all the different animals we saw. We even saw 2 tucans sleeping! He took his time to really look for all kind of animals. Would definitely recommend!

Night Tour Monteverde
Great night adventure for those that want to see more wildlife. The guide was awesome and found kikajou, porcupines, several snakes, spiders and a scorpion.
via Viator
Less commercial, personal gem
When you arrive at the coffee plantation shop, you wouldn’t be at fault for thinking you were being shown around someone’s backyard but what you soon realise is that the coffee plantation is in the jungle. He and his wife are huge wildlife enthusiasts - we saw so much, a sleeping toucan, armadillos, snakes, owls and much more. After doing a couple of more commercials animal tours, this was a breathe of fresh air and a glimpse into something special

Creepy crawlers
The hike was quite a hunt for nocturnal animals and interesting night crawlers. We found a porcupine and sleeping birds in trees and many interesting insects. Alan was very friendly and easy to converse with. We learned a lot about Costa Rican culture and the creatures we encountered.

Must do in Monteverde
At first it seemed very scary, but once you get used to the feeling, you don‘t want to stop explore the forest and see more and more animals. Our guide Alan was very passionate about the wildlife and gave interesting information. He is a very open and kind guide.

Night Adventures in Monteverde: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Monteverde.
How much does Night Adventures in Monteverde 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 Night Adventures in Monteverde take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Night Adventures in Monteverde worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Monteverde, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Night Adventures in Monteverde?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Night Adventures in Monteverde suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Night Adventures in Monteverde?
+
Around 27 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Night Adventures in Monteverde 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 Night Adventures in Monteverde?
+
Included: Flashlight. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Night Adventures in Monteverde?
+
On route 606, 300 meters from the Los Tornos school. Just 15 minutes from Monteverde Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Night Adventures in Monteverde 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 Night Adventures in Monteverde?
+
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 Night Adventures in Monteverde if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Monteverde. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Night Adventures in Monteverde?
+
Across 77 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works. One thing to know: Expect real walking or climbing: reviewers mention the effort involved.
