Explore the rainforest around Drake Bay after dark in search of nocturnal animals.

What you can experience here

When the sun has set over the forests around Drake Bay, the rainforest comes to life. With a torch and a trained guide you immerse yourself in the nocturnal world of red-eyed tree frogs, kinkajous, opossums and eyelash vipers. Everywhere there is rustling and chirping, while spiders, nocturnal mammals and rare glass frogs can be spotted. The night walk opens up the most hidden side of the jungle and its fascinating biodiversity.

The guided walk starts after dark, usually at 6pm or 6.30pm, and lasts around 2 to 3 hours. You walk in small groups of 6 to 10 people together with an experienced nature guide on easy-to-walk, mostly level paths. Torches and rubber boots are usually provided. The tour is easy to moderate and also possible in light rain. Ideal for anyone who wants to experience the wildlife of Drake Bay in complete darkness.
