Description

When the sun sets behind Arenal Volcano, the rainforest surrounding La Fortuna transforms into a thriving nocturnal world. On this enchanting night tour, you’ll experience the forest the way few people ever do—alive with sound, movement, and mystery.

With expert interpretation and an eco-friendly approach, this experience is both educational and thrilling. You’ll learn about the fascinating adaptations that allow animals to hunt, hide, and communicate after dark, while discovering tropical species such as the iconic red-eyed tree frog, glass frogs, tiny leaf frogs, colorful insects, and occasionally snakes or sleeping birds.
