The Night Walk
Discover the Secret Life of the Rainforest After Dark
What To Expect
When the sun sets over the rainforest, a hidden world comes alive. Join our Night Walk Tour and experience Costa Rica in a completely different light — or rather, the focused glow of a flashlight. Guided by experienced resident naturalists, this 3-hour experience takes place shortly after dinner and unveils the fascinating, nocturnal life that most travelers never get to see.
As you walk under the forest canopy, your guide will help you spot and identify creatures of the night — from frogs and spiders to moths, lizards, and iguanas. With a bit of luck, you may even encounter snakes or other elusive animals. Along the way, your guide will share stories and scientific insights about the delicate web of rainforest life, showing how even the smallest night creatures play an essential role in this thriving ecosystem.
