For about two hours, you’ll explore the forest using flashlights to spot animals that hide during the day.

Travelers love this tour because it offers a rare chance to see the cloud forest when most of its wildlife becomes active. The guided night walk provides close encounters with nocturnal animals that are nearly impossible to spot during the day.
