Accompanied only by your personal expert naturalist guide, you'll enjoy a relaxed pace, personalized attention, and the freedom to spend more time observing and photographing Costa Rica's extraordinary nocturnal wildlife.

Using responsible wildlife observation techniques and professional spotting lights, your guide will help you search for the incredible animals that become active after sunset. Depending on weather and natural conditions, you may encounter:

Red-eyed Tree Frogs
Glass Frogs
Blue Jeans Poison Dart Frogs

Every tour is different because all wildlife is completely wild and free-ranging. Seasonal changes, humidity, temperature, and rainfall influence which species become active, making every Night Walk a unique rainforest adventure.

Throughout the experience, your guide will explain fascinating adaptations, camouflage strategies, predator-prey relationships, and the vital role these species play in maintaining the rainforest ecosystem. Professional spotting scopes and careful lighting techniques allow you to observe wildlife responsibly while minimizing disturbance to the animals.
