    Sunset and night walk

    Great experience - 2 guides for just our family of 5 which was great as the kids found the creepy crawlies a bit much half way through and the second guide took them back to base so the rest of us could continue. Lovely sunset views at the start. Lots of wildlife to see with help from guide Donald.

    Jorge is the man!

    Such a great experience! Jorge was an absolutely incredible guide, and even picked me up from my Airbnb. We started off with sunset at this gorgeous location, with coffee and cookies, and then proceeded with the night hike! Saw so many animals, insects and birds. Was a highlight of my time in Monteverde. Book and ask for Jorge!

    Response from the operator: HI! Caleb Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a great pleasure meeting you and sharing a cup of our local coffee with you and Jorge. Your photographs are incredible! We'll definitely be following your profile.📸☕ We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sunset, homemade cookies, and that your night walk became one of the highlights of your visit to Monteverde. Jorge as our guides is passionate naturalists who love sharing the incredible biodiversity of our reserve. Every tour is an opportunity to connect with nature and discover the remarkable variety of wildlife that makes this transitional forest such a unique ecosystem. We will be sure to share your kind words with Jorge, he will be thrilled to know he helped make your experience so memorable. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the forest!

    Great night walk in Monteverde.

    I really enjoyed this night walk! It was 100% better than the one I did the night before. Jorge was super educational, the location was amazing. Jorge knows this jungle like the back of his hand. Very interactive experience, 10/10. We saw many birds, tarantulas, scorpions, spiders, frogs, a snake and even a bat! Very much worth it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're glad you enjoyed the Sunset and Night Walk with Jorge. He truly loves sharing Monteverde's incredible wildlife, and we're so happy you experienced such amazing sightings. Your kind words mean a lot to our family team, and we hope to welcome you back to Reserva Woodpecker for another unforgettable adventure. Pura Vida!

    Great Night Tour Led by Donald Torres

    This is a wonderful, family-run reserve! It says a lot that two different guides told us it was there favorite place to lead tours. The night tour began with a short walk to an observation tower to watch the sunset and where they serve you coffee and a cookie. Very nice! Our guide, Donald Torres, was truly exceptional. We have learned that it is really worth the money to hire a guide at a reserve because you see so much more. Mr. Torres is very qualified and really knows both the flora and fauna. His enthusiasm is contagious!

    Response from the operator: Dear Gerald, It means so much to know you experienced the forest the way our family does. Reserva Woodpecker is a place we love and protect every day, and our greatest hope is that every visitor leaves feeling that same connection. Our professional naturalist guides are passionate about creating more than a tour, they create meaningful experiences that inspire a deeper appreciation for Monteverde's incredible wildlife. Pura Vida! 🌿

    Sunset And Night Walk Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sunset And Night Walk Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $52 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 Sunset And Night Walk Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Sunset And Night Walk Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 55 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 Sunset And Night Walk Guided 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 Sunset And Night Walk Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sunset And Night Walk Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 19 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sunset And Night Walk Guided 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 Sunset And Night Walk Guided Tour?

    +

    Included: Café o té de cortesía; Entrance Ticket; Flash Lights; Professional Guide; and Telescope. Not included: In-vehicle air conditioning; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Sunset And Night Walk Guided Tour?

    +

    "Las Pavas" neighborhood, road to "Cerro Pinocho," signposted entrance on the right. Located 5 minutes from Santa Elena-Monteverde. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Sunset And Night Walk Guided 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 Sunset And Night Walk Guided 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 Sunset And Night Walk Guided Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
