About
The Night Tour Refuge is a 2-hour light hike in search of the creatures of the night, recommended for anyone who wants to see wildlife such as sloths, armadillos, porcupines, opossums, coatis, olingos, and kinkajous, as well as sleeping birds and a wide variety of insects, among others. El Refugio is a privileged place to see bird species such as sleeping toucans, mot-mots, and black guans; treetop animals such as monkeys, coatis, olingos, sloths, frogs, snakes, and a wide variety of insects. On a typical tour, you will see 3-5 species of mammals, 5–10 species of birds, a couple of snakes or frogs, and many types of insects. This is the widest variety of animals you will see on any other night tour in the area. You will join a group of four to six people with a local tour guide, who will give you an introduction and flashlights before starting the walk through the trails of El Refugio. Places are limited, so you must reserve in advance.

      Robbery
      Do not trust this agency, they cancelled my trip and never reimbursed the money after promising to do so two months ago. This is robbery!

      Roy was phenomenal. Very informative & knowledgeable on the wildlife. Curi Cancha was a perfect place to see the animals that I wanted to see. 10/10 would recommend this tour. Great value for money too.

      Excellent tour
      Deyber was a great guide! Highly recommended! We saw a toucan, its nest, hummingbirds, quetzal, peccary, agouti, a leaf stick insect etc. All would have been absolutely impossible to spot on our own. Our guide really had a very good eye for finding these things, setting up the scope to see them and telling us a lot of background information about the animals, birds and forest. Even managed to get some great pictures from his scope!

      Great tour of the cloud forest
      The tour was great! Deyber is so knowledgable about the cloud forest, and had lots of interesting facts and stories to tell about the forest and the wildlife in it. We saw coatis, bats, hummingbirds, a tarantula, a load of birds (including multiple quetzals), and even a hawk tarantula wasp!

      Amazing Experience!
      Deyber was the best guide! We were lucky to see a lot of animals on this trip with his expert knowledge, but even without the animals, he gave us so much good information and history about the area and we learned so much. Highly recommend, it takes visiting the park to a whole new level when you have someone as great as Deyber to guide you!

      Go with another tour guide
      The tour guide was not very good, he wasn't really that nice either. The $25 is only for the guide fee, not included is the park fee which is an additional $26

      Very nice bird tour
      I really liked the friendly and knowledgeable guide that did our tour. We had enough time and spent over 3 hours. We saw a lot of birds and were even lucky enough to see an amardillo. The tour was mainly about birds, and I expected the wildlife tour to be a little more about wildlife in general, not so much about birds, but still, it was very nice. What I actually found a little disappointing was that they wrote in the description "private tour", "only your group" will attend, but they did not write if there needs to be a minimum amount of persons of "our" group. We ended up doing the tour with another couple, and this was not what I imagined, even if anyone were friendly of cause.

      Educational, fun an experience of a lifetime.
      Deyber is an excellent tour guide who speaks perfect English. He is very knowledgeable on all aspects of the wildlife and the ecosystem of the cloud forest. Deyber is very personable, friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this tour if your travel plans bring you to Monteverde. Deyber is a local native who goes out of his way to make sure you have a wonderful experience!

      Experienced & really nice guide!
      Deyber guided us through the cloud Forest. He speaks passionate about all nature and animals, but also knows a lot about the history of Costa Rica. He is a great bird spotter, we saw the quetzal! We really enjoyed his tour and we definitely recommend him as a tourguide!!

    This was our first night walking tour in a cloud forest and we realy enjoyed it. It was a much safer experience that we could immagine. Our guide -Deyber - was very prepared and you could understand that is very pasionate about his job. He showed us some of the night life fauna and we've learn so many interesting facts about the animals/insects behavior. Moreover, thanks to Deyber we also came back with some nice pictures and videos.

    Amazing tour, great guide. Deyber makes you feel comfortable, keeps the group together and at the same time is very fanatically looking for everything that lives in the forest. And he can make the best pictures through his telescope ;)

    Our guide was wonderful! His enthusiasm for every animal, plant, and insect we found was contagious. The guide was so knowledgeable and took time to explain how each member of the environment works to keep the rainforest healthy. We had a lot of fun and learned so much!

    We have already done a few hikes through the jungle. However, the animals our guide Deybar found in the 2 hours (and his vivid stories about them) took our breath away: snakes, birds, monkeys, frogs, stick insects, fluorescent crickets... Muchas gracias, that was excellent!!!

    José, our guide, was AMAZING. Both my kids are very knowledgeable about insects and José focused really hard on helping them find the creatures they had hoped to see. Jose is a very knowledgeable guide who clearly loves his job and all the creatures in the forest. My kids said afterwards how nice it was to be able to talk to a guide who was really interested in talking to them and knew what he was talking about and could actually add to their existing knowledge instead of only telling them things they already knew. Best guided tour we did in Costa Rica. It was an easy hike at a good pace. Also Jose let us put our camera on his scope so we got amazing close up pictures of the creatures that we saw ( which included monkeys, sleeping hummingbirds, tarantula, frogs, insects). Highly recommend and ask for Jose😊

    Deyber was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about Costa Rican wildlife and appreciated his kindness and humor throughout the tour. We actually booked the night tour with him after enjoying his day tour so much at the Monteverde cloud forest.

    For the night tour you are equipped with a flashlight. I’d wear comfy closed toed walking shoes (because you’ll be walking a short uphill and there were sometimes lines of ants present). Also to catch certain animals you’ll need to walk quickly.

    Be sure to join him on his other tours ! I will recommend him for future Monteverde visitors :)

    This tour was one of the highlights of my Costa Rica trip! Deyber is professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and more than happy to share what he knows with his clients. With his expert guidance, our group was able to find many interesting reptiles and amphibians. We saw a few rare sights as well. I was particularly pleased that Deyber found what I had been looking for during my entire Costa Rica trip, yet up until that point in time hadn't yet found -- a keel-billed toucan! Apparently it's even harder to find one at night than during the day. If you're in Monteverde, don't miss out on this fabulous experience!
