La Fortuna Night Walk: Sloths, Frogs & Wildlife Tour｜Costa Rica

Begin your night adventure near Arenal Volcano where you’ll meet your certified naturalist guide for a short introduction and safety briefing. As darkness falls over the rainforest, step onto peaceful jungle trails and discover the fascinating world of nocturnal wildlife.

With the help of headlamps and your guide’s trained eye, search the rainforest for sloths, red-eyed tree frogs, snakes, insects, sleeping birds, and other creatures that come alive after sunset. The rainforest transforms at night, revealing animals and sounds that most visitors never experience during the day.

Along the walk, your guide will explain how nocturnal animals adapt to the darkness, using camouflage, unique calls, and special hunting techniques to survive in the jungle ecosystem. You’ll also learn about the rainforest environment surrounding Arenal Volcano and how these species play an important role in the local ecosystem.

This experience also includes a visit to the Nocturnal Butterfly Sanctuary, where you can observe how butterflies rest at night and learn about their life cycle.

The tour ends at a peaceful rainforest viewpoint where you can pause, listen to the sounds of the jungle at night, and enjoy a quiet moment surrounded by nature before returning to the reception area.
This guided night walk is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and travelers who want to experience the hidden wildlife of the rainforest after dark.
