This activity will take you to know the wonderful nocturnal secrets of the tropical rainforest accompanied by a Naturalist Guide.
We will visit the trails of one of the best areas of La Fortuna to observe the local flora and fauna at the foot of the Arenal Volcano, Senderos and Mirador El Silencio.
We will enter the forest in search of the hourglass frog, the Blue Jeans frog, the largest frog in the country, the “Chicken Eater Frog” and the most beautiful in Costa Rica, the red-eyed tree frog.
Also in this place it is possible to observe some species of leaf insects, stick insects, snakes, such as the eyelash viper, snails, Velveteens, the Stone Hand Viper and coral snakes, some mammals such as sloths, opossums and anteaters.

Guide was very knowledgeable, about the area as well as the creatures around us. Saw three varieties of snakes with several sightings of each. Sloth with baby was the highlight. Nice downhill walk - well done.

We had a great time, the pond area was the best but we were able to see other wildlife throughout the trail. It was mostly reptiles, amphibians and some insects for us.

We were meant to meet at 17:30 the guides were late.
They split everyone into two groups
The other group finished the whole trail
As our group spent 50 minutes talking about frogs and we didn’t even walk half of it, then then when the other group passed us we followed them and got told that was the end.
It said it was 2 hours 30minutes I was back at the hotel by 19:10
The guide was informative but I felt very rushed and wasn’t shown the whole trial
I’m sure there’s better company’s out there for a night tour

Great tour! The guides work hard to find the creatures of the night. We saw snakes, spiders, including a tarantula and many interesting species of frogs. The sounds of the forest at night are incredible. A must do tour!

The night tour was about 2-hour hike in the Arenal volcano area. The guide was very nice and professional. There weren’t too many animals to be seen.

This was a little tough to review because my main displeasure with the night walk wasn't the tour itself but their policy of allowing young children to be on it. When we arrived at the meeting point we were told we would be split up into small groups of about 10 people each. Maybe it was pure luck or because I had my 9 and 12 year old kids with me but they paired us up with a couple who brought their ~1.5 year old (strapped in a carrier), ~5 year old and ~7 year old. Throughout the entire walk there was never a time that at least one of the kids wasn't yelling or complaining aloud which was distracting and made it difficult to hear the guide. The parents even admitted that they probably made a mistake in signing up for the walk. Maybe the company can restrict having really young kids join the group tour and push them to a private tour instead.
The guide was highly knowledgeable and personable and if we didn't have the challenge stated above, I would have rated the walk a 4 out of 5 due to the limited number of things actually seen during the walk.
Other notes: it gets very buggy from all the insects flying around. That may be a problem for some people and take away from their enjoyment.

Our night walk was fantastic and our guide Brandon truly outstanding. We saw 4 different kinds of snakes, many different frogs, spiders, click beetles, cicadas and other animals. Brandon knew so many interesting facts about Costa Rica and the animals. Wonderful experience, would do again

Loved walking around at night with our guide, Chris, and flashlights to work together and find what comes out at night. Saw all kinds of frogs, spiders, snakes, and insects. Kids thought it was fun finding the things camouflaged amongst the rainforest. Appreciated the transportation to and from. Would highly recommend.

We had an amazing time! Raul was a fantastic guide who educated us and entertained at the same time. Very knowledgeable and great sense of humor. Saw spider monkeys, a skunk, various birds, frogs, lizards, arachnids and of course the iconic red eyed frog. We saw two of them mating and Raul took amazing close-ups for us with each person’s phone. Would highly recommend this tour and the night walk experience as a whole!
