Itinerary
Manuel Antonio
Pass by
The tour IS NOT inside the Manuel Antonio National Park, is on a private reserve right next.
We, as a guides, have the necessary experience to make a safe entrance to the place, which is beautiful but at the same time very careful, since it is normal to run into snakes (boas, fer de lance, bocaracá, among others) frogs (red eyes, crystal, bull, ding) toads, tarantulas, mammals (kinkajous, anthill, sloths). The tour is a challenge for the guide, since each night is different and different species are seen according to the night. However, with our high definition telescope we can make your experience unique and unforgettable, as we can see the animals more closely, and photograph them through your cell phone or camera.
The tour ends at approximately 8:00 p.m. and then after thanking you, we are making the return to the respective hotels.

Great night tour with an excellent guide
I really enjoyed this night tour. My guide was very knowledgeable and had incredibly sharp eyes for spotting wildlife that I would never have noticed myself. I saw an amazing variety of animals, including many frogs and toads, three snakes, a tarantula, a crocodile, a sloth and even a kinkajou.
The guide took the time to explain what I was seeing and was also very clear about the safety precautions, especially when we encountered venomous snakes close to the trail. I felt I was in very capable hands throughout the tour.

Loved it!
We had such a good time with JP. He was very knowledgeable and took all the photos so we can just be in the moment and he made sure we were safe. Thank you for the unforgettable memories! 🐸

Highly recommended night hike
Super entertaining and interesting. Our guide knew the place perfectly, was very careful (especially when finding snakes), and we were able to see frogs, toads, spiders, basilisks, grasshoppers, a sloth, and even a kinkajou. Highly recommended tour!

Good guide; not so good viewing
We didn't see a whole lot of wildlife--mostly insects. But guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We understand the guides can't control the wildlife. Since it's hit or miss; not sure about the value for money.

Unforgettable
Paul was amazing, really knew his stuff and was so quick at spotting stuff. Great photgrapher too and sent me the photos.
Saw frogs, snakes, sleeping toucans, spiders, scorpions. But if I saw nothing would still be amazing.

Highly recommend the night tour!
Dylan was our tour guide and we genuinely enjoyed every second, except where the tree fell in the jungle and scared my soul from my body.
We saw the Fer de Lance, red eyed tree frogs, tarantulas, and scorpions.
Dylan knows the jungle well and is obviously passionate about the ecosystem and all it entails. Highly recommend!

Not to be missed
Probably our favorite tour during our entire tour. Jimmy was a phenomenal guide. One of the highlights was seeing an anteater with a baby on her back. Even Jimmy was excited as he had not seen one in 7 years. We also really liked that he took the photos instead of having us each take one individually through his telescope. As a result, we probably saw more during our tour and definitely got better pictures. After the tour, Jimmy culled through the pictures, downloaded them into s google drive and sent us the link.

Amazing experience
Very interesting and informative tour. Unfortunately it started unseasonably raining - This was good for seeing frogs but we did have to abandon the tour after about 1 hour as it grew quite heavy. The guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and was able to spot so much in the short time we had. We had two young children also on our tour who he was very good with! Normally I would be a bit concerned with children of their age but they were so interested in nature and well behaved! I always felt our group was safe with the guide even when he spotted a Fur de lance on the trail. He always provided clear instructions, explanations and was able to decide when to abandon the tour as necessary. Just a shame I am not staying long enough to go on another tour when dry!
