Twilight Sloth and Frog Tour Expedition

Experience one of the most unique wildlife adventures in Costa Rica with the Twilight Sloth and Frog Tour La Fortuna. This immersive nature experience allows you to witness the rainforest’s remarkable transition from daylight to darkness while searching for some of the region’s most fascinating creatures.

Combining a sloth-watching experience at sunset with a guided night walk through the rainforest, this tour offers the opportunity to observe both diurnal and nocturnal wildlife in a single unforgettable excursion.

Perfect for families, photographers, nature lovers, and wildlife enthusiasts, the Twilight Expedition reveals a side of Arenal that many visitors never get to see.

Search for Sloths During the Golden Hour

The adventure begins in the late afternoon as you explore natural forest trails in search of Costa Rica’s most iconic wildlife species.

As the warm light of sunset filters through the trees, your expert naturalist guide will help locate both two-toed and three-toed sloths resting high in the canopy. These peaceful animals are often easier to observe during this transitional period of the day, creating excellent opportunities for wildlife photography.

Along the trail, visitors may also encounter:

• Monkeys
• Tropical birds
• Iguanas
• Butterflies
• Native rainforest plants

Professional spotting scopes and binoculars help provide incredible close-up views while your guide shares fascinating facts about sloth behavior, ecology, and conservation.

Enjoy a Traditional Local Snack

Before the night adventure begins, you'll take a short break to enjoy a delicious locally sourced snack.

Fresh tropical fruits, traditional pastries, and refreshing natural juices provide the perfect opportunity to relax and recharge while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of the rainforest.

This moment also allows visitors to appreciate the dramatic change in atmosphere as daylight slowly fades and the forest prepares for its nighttime transformation.

Explore the Hidden World of the Rainforest After Dark

As night falls, the experience shifts into a completely different adventure.

Equipped with flashlights and accompanied by your guide, you'll enter a specially selected rainforest trail where countless nocturnal species begin their nightly activities. The sounds, movements, and colors of the jungle become even more fascinating after sunset.

Every step offers new opportunities to discover creatures that remain hidden during the day.

Spot Frogs, Reptiles and Nocturnal Wildlife

The nighttime portion of the Twilight Sloth and Frog Tour La Fortuna focuses on the incredible biodiversity that emerges after dark.

Depending on weather conditions and seasonal activity, you may encounter:

• Red-eyed tree frogs
• Glass frogs
• Rain frogs
• Lizards
• Sleeping birds
• Nocturnal insects
• Spiders
• Small reptiles
• Amphibians of various species

The rainforest becomes alive with sounds and activity, creating an exciting and educational experience unlike any daytime tour. Expert guides use their knowledge and trained eyes to locate wildlife that would otherwise be impossible to find.

A Small Group Wildlife Experience

To maximize wildlife encounters and create a more personalized atmosphere, group sizes are intentionally kept small.

This approach allows guests to spend more time observing animals, asking questions, and taking photographs without feeling rushed.

The intimate setting also minimizes disturbance to wildlife and enhances the overall quality of the experience.

Why Choose the Twilight Sloth and Frog Tour?

Most wildlife tours focus exclusively on daytime animals or nighttime creatures.
