Nature Comes Alive at Night ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - We had an amazing experience on this night walking tour in Costa Rica! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the wildlife, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Within minutes of starting, we were spotting all kinds of creatures — colorful frogs, slithering snakes, and some truly impressive spiders. The guide made sure everyone could see and safely observe the animals, and he shared lots of interesting facts along the way. It felt like stepping into another world after dark, and the sounds of the forest at night were unforgettable. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip — highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone looking for a unique adventure!

Exciting and unforgettable - It was a very good experience. Listening to the sounds of the rainforest at night was something else. Our guide Cris was very knowledgeable and catered to my young sons very well. He answered questions and showed us around. It even began raining at night and thia dropped visibility for us but he knew exactly where the shelter was so we could get our ponchos on and then continue the tour. It was an experience of a lifetime. We saw multiple frogs - red eyed frog which is a symbol in Costa Rica, brown frogs, hour glass frog, eggs from the reticulated glass frog, brazilian wandering spider, a stick bug, roaches, cicacdas, toads. Super cool all around.

Expensive but unique experience - Guide was knowledgeable, kind, and was interested in the she spoke about. We did the 5:30-7:30 night walk. Saw tons of frogs, some snakes, and more than enough spiders. Would recommend a headlamp as provided flashlights are relatively weak
