Aguila de Osa Night Walking Tours
Discover a hidden world you can only see after dark
When night falls, an amazing transformation takes place in the rainforest… the immergence of countless night dwellers that come alive only after the sun goes down. They create an exotic world of color, sound, and scents that the naturalist guides of Aguila de Osa’s will help you experience for yourself.
The Night Walking Tour offer visitors this rare opportunity to move among the nocturnal species of this lowland tropical rainforest. Leading you through a series of private trails on our property, your guide will explain the characteristics and behaviors of this complex ecosystem. They’ll help connect specific sounds and scents to the myriad of residents who become active in the jungle at night.
Throughout the tour, your guide will share facts about life in the rainforest and its night-active residents, including reptiles, mammals, amphibians, insects, birds, and arachnids, all of which can be observed. Common to see are moths, frogs, opossums, owls and sleeping birds, crocodiles, and other species traversing the floor and mid-canopy levels.
There are several well-maintained, easy to follow hiking trails around the hotel and along Agujitas River. Routes are determined by the guide each night, depending on weather and trail conditions. The tour is ideal for those wanting a low-impact adventure.
If you want to become part of the wildest nightlife in the rainforest, this is a great way to do it. So come see who’s looking back at you when night changes the nature of the entire rainforest. You’ll be surprised how much you’ll see… in the dark.
We supply flashlights as your primary light source for your trek into the rainforest. The guides have strong beamed flashlights and can light up most creatures and plants to help you get great night photos. The tour begins shortly after dinner and will be announced in the Great Room.
