Night adventure · Costa Ballena

Night Wildlife Tour

When the sun goes down, the rainforest comes to life. Discover frogs, snakes, insects and fascinating creatures with expert local guides.

The experience

The rainforest that wakes up at night

Much of the tropical wildlife is nocturnal. On a guided flashlight walk, the Costa Ballena rainforest reveals colorful frogs, snakes, insects, spiders and sleeping birds you'd rarely see by day. It's a perfect experience for nature photography and for the whole family.

Walks are always led by authorized local guides, on safe trails and with full respect for the animals and their habitat. Times, duration and meeting point are confirmed with you before booking.
