Amazing night life tour with local guide - Unforgettable experience and a must do in this area! Safe walk with many different species. Out local guide had a night telescope with him which made even insects on the slots high in the tree visible! Thanks for this great opportunity!

Impressive wildlife - The night hike through the rainforest exceeded my expectations. We've seen a lot more animals than I thought. I am impressed by the ability of the guides to mock animals. I had some difficulty spotting the animal when the guide had already pointed his flashlight at it 😅 We saw a very rare owl, several red-eyed leaf frogs, iguanas toucans, a porcupine (I was not aware of them living up here in trees until now), a sloth, a baby boa and a giant boa. I can 100% recommend the situation and will definitely book a night hike on my Costa Rica trip.
