Such a great experience! We saw so many animals and our tour guide was great. Even if we hadn’t seen anything, it would have been a fun experience to run around in the forest at night!

What Viator doesn't explain in the listing for this tour is that it's not actually in the official cloud forest reserve. It is thorough one of the local private tour companies that is described as the most commercial on a few websites I've since cross-referenced. I wish I knew this before we booked.
The walk takes place on a small and fairly trotted-over farm that does have a forest on it but it's by no means the cloud forest reserve. It was packed with large groups of people all chasing down the same one sloth and viper and scorpion, which seemed a bit suspect if not simply disappointing. Please make sure you research the company you are booking with. There are many 'night walk' tours available and they're all at different locations. Only one is offered at the official Cloud Forest reserve. Make sure you book with them directly or choose a well reviewed company and book with them directly. You will not know who you're getting through this site.

Walking through the rain forest at night and experiencing nature up close was awesome,but:
After viewing your online photos, I was very disappointed. The photos displayed bats, frogs, snakes, and much more, yet after a 2 hour walk, all I saw were 2 tarantulas.

We had a great tour with our guide Steven. He knew interesting facts about the species and plants we could see during the walk. He took great pics of the animals for us as well. We had a good time. Would recommend!

Our guide was great at pointing out interesting features and the spotting scope really helped us see some unusual fauna. The small group and in a less visited forest were real plusses. Unfortunately there were not many mammals or birds to be seen that night.

We did the Kinkajou Night Walk through Faro Travel and we loved it. Our guide was Danielle who was excellent. She was really friendly and passionate about the wildlife and very knowledgeable. She was keen to tell us about the animals in the cloud forest and she showed us so much! Tarantulas, frogs, several birds, snakes, a sloth and a kinkajou. Definitely one for nature lovers. Highly recommend.

Amazing night walk with Daniela who was well educated on Costa Rican wildlife she was also very helpful at lighting my photo subjects and patient as I took my photos. She made sure everyone got a good look at the animals before we moved on. Saw so many amazing species that night including Kinkajous, Olingos, bats eating fruit, Vipers frogs and a tarantula. Would milk be back next year! Check out my insta: joakospamerwildlife to see the rest of my Costa Rica photos!

We had an amazing time on our night walk! Our guide Greivin was absolutely amazing! I would absolutely reccomend requesting him for your tour! We saw porcupines, several birds, armadillos, tarantulas and many other types of insects. We also got to hear coyotes, which was amazing and chilling at the same time!
