Discover the Mysteries of the Jungle After Dark!

Experience the enchanting nocturnal side of Tortuguero with our Tortuguero Night Tour. This unique adventure allows you to explore the jungle at night, when the forest comes alive with creatures that only emerge after sunset. The tour begins at our office, where we’ll equip you with water boots to ensure you’re ready for the journey ahead.

Explore the Jaguar Trail Under the Stars

Our 2-hour guided night walk takes place on the Jaguar Trail, a path that runs parallel to the beach and deep into the heart of the tropical rainforest. As darkness falls, the jungle transforms, and you’ll have the chance to witness the incredible nightlife of Tortuguero’s rich ecosystem. From the sounds of insects buzzing and frogs croaking to the sight of nocturnal animals on the move, this is a side of the rainforest that few get to experience.

Your bilingual guide, an expert in the local flora and fauna, will lead you through the trail, pointing out the fascinating creatures that are active only at night. Keep an eye out for frogs, snakes, spiders, bats, and even shy mammals like armadillos or opossums that come out to forage in the cooler temperatures. With a flashlight in hand, you’ll be able to spot glistening eyes in the dark and see the jungle in a completely different light—quite literally!

Connect with the Nightlife of Tortuguero

Nighttime in the rainforest offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature’s less-seen wonders. As you walk quietly along the trail, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the jungle’s rhythms, learning about the adaptations of nocturnal species and how they survive in the dark. Whether it’s the sight of a red-eyed tree frog clinging to a leaf or the rustling of a possum in the underbrush, the night tour brings you closer to the hidden world of Tortuguero.
