Description
Begin your night adventure at the DreamTreeXP reception, where you’ll meet your certified naturalist guide and receive a brief safety orientation. As dusk settles over the property, step into the nocturnal butterfly sanctuary, illuminated with soft lighting that recreates the natural conditions of nighttime. Watch as species that remain still during the day become active, and learn how butterflies rest, camouflage, and conserve energy after sunset. Continue to the Nocturnal Metamorphosis Station, where your guide explains each stage of the butterfly life cycle using real examples of eggs, caterpillars, and chrysalises. Discover how temperature, humidity, and darkness influence their growth and behavior. Next, follow your guide into the rainforest for a guided night walk along peaceful forest trails. Using headlamps and a thermal flashlight, search for nocturnal wildlife such as colorful tree frogs, sleeping birds, insects, and other rainforest creatures that come alive after dark. Listen to the vibrant nighttime sounds and learn how each species relies on the cover of night to communicate, hunt, and survive. Finish your experience at the sanctuary garden viewpoint, enjoying a quiet moment surrounded by nature before returning to the reception area.Includes
