What you'll do

Step into the enchanting world of the cloud forest with the Kinkajou Night Walk Tour, an unforgettable experience in Monteverde that will awaken your senses and immerse you in the magic of nature like never before. From the moment you take your first step into the darkness, the forest comes alive around you. The sounds, the rustling of leaves, and the crisp night air create a mysterious atmosphere that draws you in. Under the starlit sky, you’ll discover a hidden world where fascinating creatures emerge from the shadows, revealing themselves in ways you’ve never imagined. 

Led by passionate guides who know the forest inside and out, you'll encounter animals that will take your breath away. From sloths hanging high in the treetops to kinkajous gracefully moving between branches, stealthy snakes, and camouflaged tarantulas, each moment is filled with surprises that make you feel like you're part of a live nature documentary. But this night tour isn’t just about watching wildlife, it’s about connecting with the forest on a deeper level.

At times, we’ll turn off the flashlights and allow the forest to envelop us in complete darkness. In these moments, you’ll be surrounded by the sounds of nocturnal life, a peaceful immersion that can only be found in the wild. It’s a rare opportunity to feel like you’re truly part of something bigger.

Every step in this night walk tour brings something new, and with the help of the knowledgeable guides, you’ll leave with more than just photos, you’ll leave with memories of an experience that will stay with you forever. If you're looking for more than just a simple walk, if you want something that stirs your senses and makes you feel deeply connected to the natural world, the Kinkajou Night Walk Tour in Monteverde is the unforgettable adventure you’ve been waiting for.

"Our guide was enthusiastic and completely concerned about ensuring that everyone saw each of the animals he found. We covered a large area and saw tons of wildlife. He generously took photos with each of our cameras. We also paused a moment to see the starry sky. Just one note - Monteverde is at a high elevation meaning it is considerably cooler than the rest of Costa Rica. Take a sweater and long pants!"

"We did the tour in a small group of three five-year-old daughter. Our friendly guide made the tour an incredible experience and showed us many animals including tucan and sloth. Besides, we learned a lot about the life of the animals and the region. We can only recommend the tour to everyone"
