Overview
Experience the rainforest from daylight to darkness with this immersive sloth watching Arenal combo that blends two unforgettable wildlife encounters. This day-to-night experience includes the iconic Sloth Tour with Callidryas and the magical Jungle Night Walk at Arenal Oasis. Together, they create a complete journey into the biodiversity of La Fortuna.
Sloth Watching with Callidryas Tours
Begin your afternoon with the creators of Costa Rica’s original sloth tour. Callidryas Tours, guided by certified naturalists, leads you through lush habitats where both two-toed and three-toed sloths live freely. During sloth watching Arenal, your expert guide helps you spot these gentle animals resting among the treetops. With guaranteed sightings, you also encounter toucans, monkeys, hummingbirds, and the striking red and blue poison dart frog. Smooth transitions between viewpoints allow you to appreciate every detail of this vibrant ecosystem while enjoying safe and accessible trails.
Jungle Night Walk at Arenal Oasis
As daylight fades, the forest shifts into a new world. Your adventure continues with the Jungle Night Walk at Arenal Oasis, the region’s only natural wild frog sanctuary. Equipped with a flashlight, follow your guide along easy forest paths and listen to the chorus of nocturnal wildlife. During this part of the sloth watching Arenal experience, tree frogs, glass frogs, and dart frogs emerge near spring-fed ponds. Your chances of seeing sloths, owls, armadillos, and other night creatures increase as the jungle awakens. This guided walk offers an intimate look at the rainforest’s nighttime magic.
Together, these two wildlife experiences offer a well-rounded exploration of Arenal’s biodiversity. Smooth transitions between tours ensure comfort, while short walks and natural settings make the journey enjoyable for all travelers. This day-and-night encounter reveals the rainforest’s most iconic species under the sun and beneath the moonlight, creating a memorable adventure you will always treasure.
