Exciting night
Great trip with Justin. We saw a lot. Tarantula, viper, scorpion, and much more. Justin is funny and the equipment with binoculars was phenomenal. Highly recommended. Justin knows a lot and explained everything to us.

Description
Discover the magic of the forest after dark on a unique night hike where we’ll follow the sounds and signs of nature. As your guide and “translator” of the wild, I’ll help you understand what the environment has to tell — from the silent flight of an owl to the tracks left behind by hidden creatures. While I can’t guarantee animal sightings (nature is full of surprises!), you’ll experience a journey filled with learning, connection, and wonder. Come with comfortable shoes, a flashlight, and a curious heart — and let’s explore the secret world of the night together.

It’s a unique experience where we walk through the forest after dark, guided by the sounds and mystery of the night. We’ll be on the lookout for nocturnal animals in their natural environment—though sightings are never guaranteed, and that’s part of the magic. Every night is different, shaped by nature’s rhythm. Whether we see wildlife or simply enjoy the stillness, it’s a chance to reconnect with the forest in a peaceful, unforgettable way.

Justin is the best!
Fantastic guide with excellent English, knowledge of area and wildlife.
S
Fantastic guide!
Justin was an amazing guide. Knowing that nature is unpredictable, we entered the night tour open minded. Just being in the forest at night was a phenomenal experience. Justin shared many interesting facts about plants and animals alike. We were lucky enough to see many interesting insects, spiders, a sleeping hummingbirds and he had the patience to spot a side striped palm pit viper!! All around excellent guide and lovely person.
