PRICE: $52
per person

 

Discover Costa Rica’s rainforest like never before on our exclusive Night Jungle Walk in La Fortuna, just minutes from the world-famous Arenal Volcano. This guided night hike takes place on our private conservation property with over 60,000 square meters of untouched jungle. Unlike typical hotel trails or artificial settings, this is real rainforest habitat—wild, pristine, and protected.

Located only 10 kilometers from downtown La Fortuna de San Carlos, this experience allows travelers visiting the Arenal region to explore the rainforest under the stars. As night falls, the jungle awakens with sound and movement. Accompanied by an expert ICT-certified naturalist guide, you’ll explore moderate trails as we search for the fascinating creatures that come alive after dark.

Group sizes are limited to a maximum of 8 people per guide, ensuring personal attention and a more immersive experience. Our guests often spot:

Red-Eyed Tree Frogs – an iconic symbol of Costa Rica

Two-Toed Sloths – peacefully navigating the treetops

Snakes – camouflaged among leaves and vines

Owls, Bats, Anteaters, and even Bioluminescent Insects

What truly makes this one of the most authentic night tours in La Fortuna is the setting. Many similar activities in the Arenal area are conducted on resort grounds or trails with reintroduced species. In contrast, our tour is conducted in a natural, undisturbed rainforest used exclusively for wildlife walks, where the habitat remains untouched by other tourist activity.

Every tour is unique. While sightings of large mammals cannot be guaranteed, our natural setting and highly trained guides maximize your chances of real, spontaneous wildlife encounters. Even the smallest creatures—like ants, spiders, and beetles—are presented with context, making this an educational and truly wildlife-focused tour.

Tours depart daily at 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., ideal for those staying in the La Fortuna – Arenal Volcano region. You’ll receive exact Google Maps directions upon booking. On-site parking is available. If using Uber, please confirm that your driver selects the correct location: Night Tour La Fortuna (not nearby properties).

Prepare to disconnect, grab your flashlight, and let our team show you the best nocturnal wildlife experience in La Fortuna.
