Our Night Safari in the Jungle stands out due to its instructive nature, intimate group sizes, and a unique touch of personal care which is often bypassed by other local evening tour guides. Additionally, we are the singular service that ensures you are provided with clean, protective rain boots for the duration of the tour to ensure your safety and comfort. This adventure isn’t meant for those who are uninterested in the nocturnal dwellers of Manuel Antonio. The tour is particularly constructed for tiny or private parties of four to six participants at most. We dedicate ourselves to uncover any particular animal you wish to encounter during your journey through our incredibly well-preserved private territory. You’ll find yourself in the companionship of an array of spiders, vibrant arboreal frogs, lizards, snakes, and occasionally animals like armadillos, anteaters, sloths, and the hard-to-spot ocelots. If the eerie excites you, our Night Jungle Tour is the ideal expedition for you and your loved ones. Uncover all the intriguing details about the beings that remain concealed in the daylight.
- Closed-toe shoes (tennis shoes or hiking boots) are required for the tour. The property management does not permit Crocs, Keens, Tevas, or any semi-open-toe shoes.
- A light cotton T-shirt and pants are ideal for the tour. Comfortable clothes are recommended (Long sleeve shirts are not necessary)
- Due to heavy rain or windy conditions, we recommend booking any type of night tours within the first few days of your arrival. During the rainy season (early May through late December), rain is a factor, and we may cancel or reschedule the tour to later days of your vacation.

Guide was super... - Guide was super knowledgeable and made sure to look out in particular for things we mentioned being interested in seeing! What a unique and interesting way to see a different part of the forest ecosystem. He and his colleagues really care about the environment they work in and it was very cool to hear him also discuss stewardship and our collective role in protecting places. We saw owls, kinkajous, many toads and frogs, caiman, scorpions, spiders, and a sleeping hummingbird. He really knew the place like the back of his hand, and it really felt like an honor to be in such a special place. Thanks again!

A great chance to see Costa Rica's nocturnal creatures up close - I was really keen to experience the Costa Rican jungle at night and this did not disappoint. Manuel is a really fun guide, maybe even a little crazy, and went the extra mile for us.
On the night the tour was booked it was raining heavily, Manuel offered us a refund or to reschedule for the following day - luckily, we were free and he collected us next day in time to catch toucans in the dusk and walk into the rain forest before nigh settled in and we began to look for creatures. We found a Wandering Spider (my number one target), caimans, scorpions, a beautiful hummingbird, a katydid, numerous tiny frogs etc.
The trail is a bit of a hike which was nice as it feels like an authentic experience. Manuel is great company and entertained us with stories as well as telling us about the animal we were seeing.
Then, at the end (and I doubt you can be guaranteed this) we had to wait in a shelter while Manuel went off to call his driver - it was raining by then and I looked up and right above my head, in the shelter, was a two-toed sloth. He crawled around hanging from the roof struts only inches above our heads - it was an amazing end to a really fun trip.

Thank you Manuel - We thank you and we highly recommend our guide Manuel who was great. He took us to his park away from tourists and we had an amazing and immersive experience in the wildlife of Costa Rica.

Such a cool tour! - Manuel was an amazing tour guide. He helped us spot so many animals including bats, scorpions, frogs, and tarantulas! He was so knowledgeable about the animals and plants and the tour was so well organized. Also, it ended up just being my girlfriend and I on the tour, which felt really private and nice. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to see more wildlife!

Private night walking tour of jungle creatures. - We finished our family trip with another private tour with our guide, Manuel. He is so knowledgeable of animal, insects and many other wild creatures that we saw on the Night jungle tour ( frogs, crocodiles, insects, sloths, kinkajoos, etc). We could never have seen these critters without him.

Wonderful customr service! - Wonderful custome service! We chose to go on Manuel's night your because of the many w great reviews. Sadly, our grandson got sick and we had to csncel shortly before the start of the tour. As it was less than 24 housr befoe the tour we werenot expeting any refend. When I called Manuel to let him know not to send someone to pick us up. When we heard that our grandson was sick he offered to call Viator and request that they give us a full refund. This was completely unexpected and was simply a lovely gesture of kindness from a good-hearted man that meant a lot to us. This is the kind of tour opertor that one would always want to work with.

No Response & No Show - We had the tour scheduled & I called that afternoon to make sure we were still on since it had been raining the past couple evenings. The tour operator stated he was not in Quepos but in San Jose & needed to check with his other guides regarding the weather & would get back to me before we headed to meet him. I never heard back & we hired a taxi to take us to the meeting place. Once at the meeting place, it began pouring rain & I called since it was past the meeting time & no one showed up. He stated that both his guides were out of town & unable to meet us. I told him that would have been nice to know prior to our family heading to the meeting place. We had to hire a taxi back to the house at that point. We were refunded our money for the tour, however there was the cost of the taxi both ways & the time spent when we could have done something else. This was inconsiderate & unprofessional. When we spoke to a local about what had happened the next day, they asked his name & when we told them, they knew of Manuel & rolled their eyes & gave me numbers for other tour operators.
