Overview

Educational Jungle Night Walk – The most beautiful concert, led by the orchestra of nature, begins when the sun goes down.

Walking on safe trails, this guided tour, done on a private property known as Biophilia (10 minutes away from Quepos), will take you on a magical experience through the nocturnal forest in search of the night-active fauna characteristic of the area, and learn about the flora that sustains the forest life.

Take advantage of your guide’s experience spotting the hidden wonders of the forest and take beautiful photographs aided by the UV light and flashlights we provide.

The most commonly observed animals on Educational Jungle Night Walk are tree frogs, nocturnal birds, snakes, spiders, and scorpions. If you’re lucky you may spot nocturnal mammals such as anteaters, coatis, raccoons, deer, ocelots, opossums, armadillos, kinkajous, or sloths.

Frogs, scorpions, and the beauty of the jungle at night!

March 20, 2024

We visited Costa Rica in March 2024 and had so many excellent adventures, but absolutely the most memorable has to be the guided night hike at Biophilia Park! Our great guide helped us stay safe in the forest and helped everyone in the group get great views of some cool frogs, a snake, a glowing-in-UV-light scorpion, and many other cool critters. It’s surreal being in such a wild place at night — not to be missed!

The night tour was a lot of fun. It was a completely different experience getting to hike the park at night and see the nocturnal activity. Our guide, Estevan, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and was able to spot just about all the wildlife we came across. Highly recommend!

We loved this experience. The group was small, so we could all participate and hear the explanations. The guide was very helpful and explained everything in English and Spanish.

We could see many animals and take pictures: scorpions, spiders, snakes, lizards, frogs and a marta.

Really recommend.

My wife and I took this tour to get a good look at the animals that you wouldn’t typically see. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and able to spot things that we couldn’t see if we were looking right at it. We had a wonderful time and would certainly do it again!

Worth every penny, even if you are terrified by spiders. Our guide Esteban was very diligent in finding tons of wildlife, from poisonous banana spiders, to sleeping hummingbirds, to a mother Cayman and her chirping little ones. We saw more than I can possibly describe here. Wear long pants and bug spray. We did and didn’t regret it. Highly recommend this tour and the provider.

We are so grateful we got to experience this tour. From the moment we arrived, Chris, our tour guide was so welcoming and accommodating. His knowledge of both Flora and Fauna was exceptional. Beautiful frogs, snakes, spiders, birds, bats were all appreciated and admired with great enthusiasm. The other aspect I really noticed was strong ethics towards not disturbing the natural ecosystems and wildlife themselves – This is so important and I was very happy to see this ethos was upheld 🙏 Thank you sincerely Chris for making our last night in Costa Rica the absolute best we could imagine!

We had an amazing evening with Chris as our tour-guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very accommodating. He made sure every guest had a chance to see the wildlife that was being observed, and made sure everyone was able to take a photo! On this tour, we saw 4 species of frog, 2 spiders, a snake, a stick-bug, a sleeping hummingbird, and a Mexican Hairy Dwarf porcupine, and a few other animals that I do not remember the name of! When we return to Costa Rica, we would love to take this tour with Chris again!

My buddy Michael and I went on this jungle night tour with Diego, who was awesome! He was exceptionally knowledgeable on the local ecosystem. Diego spotted and educated us on the insects, spiders, frogs, snakes and animals of the Costa Rican night jungle. It was an easy walk and the highlights were the red eyed tree frog, leaf cutter ants (amazing lives they lead), an anteater, and even a a Fur de Lance viper (a little scary that one!). Diego carried a spotting scope for viewing and for pictures as well, so a close up experience with the little creatures. So worth the time! If you haven’t tried a night tour we highly recommend it!

Conservation of nature is human conservation.

Rated 5.0 out of 5
September 10, 2023

Conservation of nature preserves human history. It is a human duty to take care and protect all kinds of animals found in nature. If we do not protect them, they will gradually become greedy. Each animal is dependent on the other. The existence of some animal has ended due to human behavior. It is very important to know and learn about these and other types of animals and our goal is to research them in depth.

Even with a good, soaking rain storm, we saw so many critters. Our guide, Frank, was very knowledgeable and made our tour/hike so memorable. If our group had walked the trail alone, we would have missed seeing so much. Frank used his scope and great phone camera to capture wonderful images.

We really enjoyed our night walk with Diego! Thanks to his keen eyes, we were able to see amazing fauna and flora. This was even after a big thunderstorm that had just passed an hour earlier – the forest was still very wet. We saw the red eyed tree frog, a glass frog, a yellow tree frog, a whip spider, a yellow lemon looking bird resting on a branch and another bird sleeping in its nest. We also saw a striped basilisk lizard, dragonflies, a golden orb spider, and gorgeous blooming flowers. We definitely recommend a guide like Diego. There is no way to appreciate and understand the immense biodiversity without having someone knowledgeable to accompany and guide you. Highly recommend!

On the night of our tour, it was raining so much we were worried it was going to get canceled – and we were stoked that it was not! The rain slowed down a bit when we headed on the trail with our guide, the amazing Esteban who spotted many creatures and shared his knowledge of Costa Rica’s biodiverse ecosystems with us. Among the animals we saw were a glass frog, red eyed tree frog, bull frog, a young cayman hanging out by the water, a bromelia boa snake, and many more. Listening to the sounds of the jungle at night was a very precious experience! Sharing his ethic of respect for wildlife, Esteban made sure we did not touch or otherwise disturb the animals, and helped us take photos. I highly recommend this experience!

Our walk with Esteban last night was so wonderful! We saw a sleeping hummingbird (colibri), two beautiful snakes, a kinkajou, 5 types of frogs, a caïman, many types of insects and spiders. We were so so thrilled!

Esteban was very generous with his knowledge and was making sure everyone was having a good time.

In case useful to know: Don’t cancel if there is a storm before/during the tour, there are actually even more animals out when it is raining, and the forest protects from strong rains! After all, this is a rainforest! Wear warmish clothes and you will be absolutely fine.

The walk also included plant and herb species. Frank took amazing quality pictures of everything for us through how night scope which he shared. The glow in the dark car beetle (also called headlight and click beetle) was awesome. The classic red eyed green tree frog was perfect!

It was well worth the price and came as close to a National Geographic adventure as we have ever experienced. We also appreciate the focus Costa Rica places on the natural environment. One other thing we noticed was how quiet and still the jungle can be. Great adventure – 5 stars all the way!

I booked a tour one day before in Sep and since no one else registered, instead of skipping, I paid for 2 people and ended having a private tour. I am very glad that I did since it was an awesome experience. Esteban was my guide and from the start, he spotted cayman just out of no where which I would’t have seen. I am always amused by the guides spotting things during the day but this was a different level at night. Not close to you even far away above the tree he spotted little frogs. It was a great fun like treasure hunt at night!! We saw cayman, glassfrog, milkfrog, bananafrog, red eyed frog, gladiator frogs, deers, iguanas, several spiders, and more. We also discussed about Costa Rica a lot and it was super interesting. It rained not too much but rather constantly during the tour but did not bother at all. Will definitely come back with my kids!!

Our night tour was awesome! Beatriz showed us the nocturnal flora and fauna with a lot of heart and passion. We learned a lot and were able to take great photos. We would have loved to spend the whole night there… Thank you for the great tour!

Frank guided us in the nocturnal world of the rainforest. Unbelievable how much one can see, on a relative small trail, when it’s dark. Thanks Frank, we really enjoyed your amazing knowledge and pictures!

Prompt pick up at our hotel.

Frank was our tour guide. He was great, engaging, and knowledgeable. My husband and I were amazed that he could spot all the animals in the wild.

It felt like being in your own backyard, hunting for frogs and bugs and snakes. I felt absolutely safe.

He took photo’s with his phone and sent the pictures to us.

This was such a cool experience.

I was fortunate enough to get a private tour with Andrew who was a wonderful tour guide. He knew an immense amount about the local flora and fauna, there wasn’t a question I asked that he didn’t answer. His enthusiasm was infectious and it was a treat to see the local wildlife through his eyes. We saw caiman, a Jesus lizard, lots of frogs, toads, insects, and various other things. If you enjoy learning and neing immersed in nature and it’s marvelousness, I highly recommend this tour.

Our family of five adults enjoyed a fabulous evening of jungle touring—both flora and fauna—with Andrew. Besides spotting so many different species of frogs, reptiles, insects, arachnids, and a kinkajou overhead, Andrew shared an amazing amount of biology facts and details. He also brought wonderful enthusiasm to the tour, and indulged our group’s fascination with spotting caiman in the river at the end of the tour. We also enjoyed the refreshing herbal water blend, Andrew! Thank you!

We did the night tour with Esteban and our family (adults, teenager, child and baby) really loved it. We didn’t see the iconic red eyed frog nor any snakes, but we saw a lot of different frogs, spiders, lizards, colibris and the manager caiman with her babies. Our guide was excellent, very friendly and professional. We highly recommend this tour!

We had the great fortune of doing the tour in pouring rain with Andrew, a Biologist and a graduate student who was incredibly informative and skilled at scouting the many creatures who came out in the rain. The rain made it so much more fun. Thank you Andrew!

Last night we had the night hike of our lives thanks to our guide Andrew. We saw the iconic red eyed tree frog, masked frogs, many other frogs, scorpion, vine snake, spiders, caiman and much much more. Andrew was incredible at finding them and shared so much knowledge about them, medicinal plants we saw and much more. It was completely safe and fun. We cannot recommend a tour with Andrew highly enough!

We had an amazing time on our night hike. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Bea, was super knowledgeable and went above and beyond to show our young kids the animals they were most interested in. She taught us so much about the animals, life cycles, and kept our family engaged the whole time. We saw cayman, spiders, basilisks, scorpions, frogs, snakes, and even a kinkajou playing above us. Our family is still talking about all of the cool things we learned and saw on this walk.

This was so fun and informative! Our guide Andrew was such a pro! We learned so much and he was excellent at spotting even the tiniest creatures. I was skeptical about getting a guide for hikes but honestly there’s just no way we would’ve seen any of the animals we did without him. Andrew was kind, patient, funny and such an expert! Highly recommend!

Thank you Beatriz for sharing your passion and knowledge with us. We learned so much and we had so much fun! We got to see baby caymans (and mama!) jumping around, the most poisonous spider in Costa Rica, a snake just after a big meal, insects mating and more. 10/10 experience, so amazing to see the jungle come alive at night.

We did the night tour with Beatriz and she was incredible. We learned so much and got to witness some truly amazing things – we saw baby caymans jumping around with mama keeping a watchful eye, beautiful snakes, lots of frogs and some sleeping critters and even witnessed two insects mating! 10/10 experience to visit the jungle at night. Thank you so much Beatriz for sharing your knowledge and passion with us.

Esteban was super knowledgeable. I can’t believe all the things we saw on the night walk. Cayman, Mexican porcupine, sloth, birds, frogs, snakes, and spiders. It was incredible and something I’ll remember for a very long time. Esteban truly loves his job and shared in our excitement for the animals.

A Different Experience

While the jungle may seem interesting during the day, it has a little something different to offer at night. As you walk through along the trails you hear a different ambience resonating from the darkness than you had during the day light. Two reflective dots curiously look at you as you scan the canopy for insects, reptiles and mammals. If you’re lucky, you get to see some rare animals for yourself. Overall it was a very eventful tour and our tour guide, Andrew, was more than capable to inform us of everything that inhabits the jungle.

Exploring the jungle at night seemed like a unique opportunity that we couldn’t pass up…. we were right! It was like walking through a nature documentray. And Beatriz was the perfect guide. She is knowldegeable, passionate and authentic. She answered all our questions and entertained our curiosities. It is obvious that she loves her job and all of the living things that inhabit the jungle. My nine year old nephew said “I am going to remember this guide for the rest of my life”. I believe he will. This is a must for not just nature lovers, but anyone with a curious mind and an appreciation for unique experiences.

We had a great time with our super smart, passionate guide B and her trainee! She immediately showed us a cane toad and baby caymans. She knew so many facts and took great pictures through the scope. She also carefully guided us one by one past a very venomous viper!!

Not only is Frank a very knowledgeable guy he is very kind and funny. He became our friend during our 2 hours together. He even helped us navigate going to Manuel Antonio national park the next day and with a zip line connection he had. It’s sure nice to meet guys like Frank. He’s our friend for life!
