    So much fun (even in the rain!) Thank you Eduardo :)

    We had such a wonderful experience with Eduardo! Although it was raining, we were totally fine under the canopy without the umbrellas. Eduardo was very friendly and informative. He also worked really hard to try and find us some cool animals during our tour, and we were lucky enough to see some frogs, insects, and birds. He was super knowledgeable about everything he pointed out to us, giving us details descriptions as well as all of their scientific names. I cannot recommend this tour, or Eduardo, enough!! If you are thinking of booking - you will not regret it! Thank you Eduardo & Finca Lantana :) All the best, Danna & Thomas from Toronto, Canada

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Donna and Thomas. I really enjoy the tour with you, it was very special time walking with you in the forest at night, and sharing my knowledge of the nature. Thank you also, for visiting Costa Rica. The best regards. Eduardo Venegas. Naturalist Guide, Monteverde.

    Amazing experience

    Eduardo was an amazing guide and took a lot of time and care in identifying all the frogs, spiders, moths and butterflies we were lucky enough to see. He even helped us spot the apparently elusive kinkajou. Highly recommend walking through the forest at night, and Eduardo was a great guide to do it with.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much, for visiting the Monteverde Forest in the night hike, with me. Ben and Steph, are very specials persons, lovers nature.

    Expert naturalist guided night tour

    Eduardo is an expert naturalist who shared a wealth of knowledge and experience with me and my fiance on our 2 hour night tour at Bosque Eterno de los Niños Bajo del Tigre. Communication before the tour was very easy via WhatsApp. Eduardo is truly passionate about conservation in Costa Rica and has lived in Monteverde for many years. He taught us to use our ears and eyes to spot small but amazing creatures like frogs, tarantulas, beetles, spiders, scorpions, and birds (e.g. Lesson's Motmot). Without his eagle eyes we would have been totally lost. Eduardo has a wealth of knowledge about the creatures of the cloud forest and conservation and it was a pleasure learning from him and walking with him!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much, to take this experience in the night tour with me. I also enjoy walking in forest and sharing my knowledge and experience of the nature and the conservation of Monteverde.

    Shared Monteverde Night Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Monteverde.

    How much does Shared Monteverde Night Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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 Shared Monteverde Night Tour 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 Shared Monteverde Night Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 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 Shared Monteverde Night Tour?

    +

    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 Shared Monteverde Night Tour 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 Shared Monteverde Night Tour?

    +

    Around 3 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 Shared Monteverde Night Tour 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 Shared Monteverde Night Tour?

    +

    Included: Flash light; and Montenubis Monteverde, entrance include. Not included: Transportation to/from your hotel is NOT included but it can be arranged for you. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Shared Monteverde Night Tour?

    +

    We will meet you at the Front Desk. You can ask for Eduardo Venegas. Monteverde Night tour Montenubis Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Shared Monteverde Night Tour 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 Shared Monteverde Night Tour?

    +

    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 Shared Monteverde Night Tour 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.
