Jungle Night Tour Manuel Antonio
Description
Once the sun sets in the Costa Rican rainforest, we start hiking and looking for exiting species of animals while the jungle takes on a totally different character. It goes from a green cathedral-like forest, where beautiful shining blue morpho butterflies fly along small rivers, to a pitch-black jungle, filled with the sounds of millions of insects and dozens of frogs & toads. It is the same green fascinating forest, but now it´s dark and you are ready to go find what’s out there! It’s the best time to find, observe and photograph beautiful tree frogs, shy snakes, colorful insects, mammals and other rainforest creatures that only come out at night. The beautiful symphony of a tropical rainforest at night is one of the most exiting experiences; turn off the lights for a moment and listen to all the secret sounds. Be aware, it is quite an adventure to be in the rainforest at night.

We had an absolutely remarkable experience. First of all, organisation (pick up, etc) was perfect. The atmosphere during this night walk was something we will not forget. Danny our guide showed us lots of animals: various frogs, snakes, spiders, a caiman and a racoon. This activity is something one should not miss.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the chocolate and coffee tour and had a great experience with our team. It means a lot to us that you found the tour both fun and informative. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon. Pura Vida!
Aaron was a great tour guide for our last minute booking. His ability to spot wildlife was really impressive, as we wouldn't have noticed 10% of what he found. He was able to spot spiders, a scorpion, a number of different frogs, 2 caimans, lizards, iguanas, birds, and more. He kept us engaged and well informed along the way.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that our guide made the experience engaging and enjoyable for your whole family. It’s great to know you loved the cacao experience, the coffee, the sugar cane drink, and the lunch as well. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you all again in the future! 🍫✨
This was a great experience. We got so many beautiful pictures. I would recommend this to everyone. A whole different perspective from our day hike. Guide was very good at finding small hidden gems.
Thank you for joining our Night Walk! We’re glad you enjoyed this unique nighttime experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon.
Interesting tour, lovely guide showing us frogs, scorpion, found a sleeping sloth on the tree, and a snake in the very end . This tour is outside Manuel Antonio park which closes at 4 pm , on a nice nearby coco plantation with a pond Really interesting and enjoyable
Thank you for sharing your experience! 🐸🦥🐍 We’re so happy you enjoyed the tour and got to see such amazing wildlife. The location really makes it special, and it’s great you had such a memorable time with the guide. We hope you’ll join us again for more adventures in Costa Rica! 🌿✨
HIGHLY recommend this Jungle Night Tour!! Saw several types of frogs, a big scorpion, vine snake, and the highlight - a Velvet (Terciopelos or Fer-de-lance). Our guide, Sergio, was awesome! Be prepared for weather - we went 5/15/25 (start of rainy season) and it poured most of the tour. It was so worth the puddles in our shoes!
Hello dear Kelly thanks for this nice comment we are glad to hear you hit the jackpots after seeing this amazing snake in the jungle. Please dont forget to recommend us to all your friends and family traveling down here to Costa Rica.
Great trip. Turns out I was the only one on the tour so it was an unplanned private tour with Johnny. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoy the tour and his guidance immensely. Highly recommend
