    About the experience+

    The experience

    Monteverde Night Walk – Cloud Forest — Group Tour

    This is the Group Tour for Monteverde Night Walk – Cloud Forest: a shared departure, max 10 travelers, min 2 adults, on a fixed schedule and at a per-person rate. You share a VIVO naturalist guide with other travelers looking for the same thing you are — real wildlife, good light and an honest explanation of what you are seeing. Exact capacity depends on the experience. The itinerary, certified guide and safety standards are the same as our Private Tour; what changes is that the departure time is set and the group sets the pace. Transport is never shared: if you add it, it is private door-to-door for your party only.

    Once the sun sets, a completely different forest wakes up. With a flashlight, a spotting scope and an expert bilingual naturalist, you walk the trails of a Monteverde reserve looking for nocturnal life: kinkajous, sloths, colourful frogs, insects, snakes and roosting birds. It is an easy-paced, family-friendly Monteverde classic that works either as a small shared group on a fixed departure, or as a private walk when you travel with small children, a multigenerational family, or you want to stop for photography at your own rhythm. Reserve entrance is included. Transport to the meeting point is never included in the tour price — we quote it separately by hotel and zone. Sightings are wild and never guaranteed.

    What we focus on

    Nocturnal species, red-light etiquette and equipment.

    Questions

    Frequently asked

    How many people join this group tour?

    Group Tours are shared departures, max 10 travelers, min 2 adults. Exact capacity depends on the experience and date.

    Can I choose my own start time on a group departure?

    No. Group departures run at fixed times so everyone starts together. If you need a specific hour, light window or pace, book the same experience as a private expedition.

    Is transport shared with the group?

    Never. Transport is always private and always quoted separately by hotel and zone — your tour is shared, your ride is not. You can also meet us at the starting point at no extra cost.

    How much is the group rate per person?

    The shared rate starts at $75 per person, all taxes and fees included. Children pay a reduced rate. See the private experience for its current rate.
