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.
Unlike large group tours, this private experience allows your guide to focus entirely on your interests—whether you're passionate about frogs, snakes, insects, rainforest photography, or simply want to learn more about one of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems.
Your adventure begins with pickup from your hotel in La Fortuna before a short drive to Mirador El Silencio, located at the foothills of the majestic Arenal Volcano. As the sun disappears behind the volcano, the rainforest comes alive.
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
Eyelash Pit Vipers

Sleeping birds

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.
This experience is perfect for couples, families, wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone seeking a more exclusive and personalized adventure in La Fortuna.
