Overview
Private Night Tour: Our Favorite Pick for Discovering La Fortuna's Hidden Nocturnal Life
When the sun goes down, the rainforest doesn't sleep—it completely transforms. While a daytime walk shows you the canopy, the night belongs to a totally different world of creatures that you'd easily miss on your own.
Walking in a massive, noisy group at night can scare off sensitive wildlife before you even get close. That’s why we always recommend our Private Night Tour. With your own private naturalist guide and professional flashlights, you step into a quiet, mysterious jungle where every shadow comes alive with colorful tree frogs, sleeping birds, insects, and elusive nocturnal mammals.
What to Know Before You Go
- Who is it for?: Perfect for families, nature lovers, photographers, and anyone curious about the secret side of the rainforest after dark.
- The main highlight: Spotting tiny, vibrant red-eyed tree frogs, glass frogs, bullet ants, owls, snakes, and maybe even a sleeping sloth or kinkajou. Because it's a private tour, you aren't rushing to keep up with a crowd; your guide focuses entirely on what you want to see and lets you take your time examining tiny creatures through macro lenses or flashlights.
- What others won't tell you (And we will): Night walks take place on safe, established trails, but you are walking in the dark, which can heighten your senses. Also, wildlife is completely wild—while our guides have incredible tracking skills, sightings vary every night, making each walk a unique, unpredictable adventure.
Tour Details
- Duration: Approx. 2 hours.
- What's included: Private certified bilingual guide, specialized flashlights/lighting gear, entrance fees to the private nocturnal reserve, and round-trip private transportation from your hotel in La Fortuna.

How to Fit This Into Your Day (The Ultimate Evening Wind-Down)
Because this is a short, evening excursion (usually starting around twilight), it makes for the perfect way to cap off a busy day of adventure. Our guests love pairing this with a relaxed afternoon at the hot springs, heading straight from a thermal soak into the magical nocturnal rainforest.
