The guide, Andrew, was super and made the tour interesting and enjoyable. He was so good at spotting and taking pictures which he shared with us.

I highly recommend this tour. Herbert’s is a veteran who has 16 years as a guide. He can spot animals farther distance, especially at night. We saw so many animals including tarantulas, snakes, frogs birds, and much more. He also helps you take photos on his phone and shares it with you, so you don’t have to worry about missing any photos or videos of the moment.

Highlights

  • Naturalist interpreter
  • Best pictures included

Full description

Take a night walk in a tropical humid forest reserve near Manuel Antonio National Park. Follow a local expert tour guide who will introduce you to the nocturnal activity and wildlife in the forest.

The 2-hour walk includes the private reserve entrance fee and a certified naturalist tour guide. Your guide will take amazing pictures and will share them with you after the tour by email or Airdrop.

This evening walking tour is a must-do if you want to see all the creatures coming out at night that are impossible to find in the day. You may even see animals that are active during the day, sleeping in trees and burrows at night.

The tour will start between 5:30 pm and 5:55pm according to the sunset time of the year. We will reach out to you few hours before to confirm the meeting time.
