What an amazing start to our trip! Our guide did an incredible job of finding all the little night critters. Grateful we chose the 8pm time as that gave him the opportunity to scout animals during the 6pm tour and he knew what to look for. Flashlights provided which was helpful. Thank you!!

Temper your expectations

Austin_M, Apr 2024

The guide was friendly. And he was able to spot a sleeping toucan and a viper. But don’t go in thinking you’ll see all the exotic animals you see on billboards. The night tour is a quintessential experience if you’re in Costa Rica.. I get it. But it was a lackluster experience. The flashlights provided were weak — we had to depend on the guide’s flashlight to see the trail in front of us. Overall it was neat but not remarkable my any means.

Fulfilled all expectations!!

Super Fun and Exciting Trip for Adventure Seekers!

Julia_M, Nov 2022

Vladimir took my boyfriend and I for a tour of La Leona Waterfall. It was easily one of the best days of our trip to Costa Rica! The entire walk through the woods and streams to get the the waterfall was gorgeous and Vladimir made an extra effort to help me get through difficult areas. In my opinion, this was a medium to advanced level excursion that I never would have dared to try to do on my own but Vladimir made it super easy and fun and always made sure we were taken care of. What an amazing tour guide! Super recommend this tour and make sure to request for Vladimir - he is the best!!

An experience to remember

Tara_T, Mar 2021

A well spent 2 hours. The knowledge of our local guide was astounding. His trained eye was remarkable. It gives you some idea of how much wildlife we are surrounded by, but untrained almost impossible to see. Another plus of this tour, you are welcome to return to the trails the next day! With a location easy to find this tour is a fun way to safely explore and enjoy a night of adventure

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Thanks, Tara. It was a pleasure to have you!

Night time in the jungle

Ionut_P, Feb 2020

A really nice tour with an excellent guide. Very knowledgable and friendly. We’ve managed to spot a lot of animals and learn a great deal about their behaviour during the night. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Awesome! Thank You!

El Bosque 7:45 night tour.

almeidam, Jan 2020

The tour guide was friendly but we really didn’t see much widelife and he kept on retracing the same route in order to see the sloth. Unfortunately he/she was no where to be found. It also would have been nice to have received a glass of water at the completion of the tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Hi Almeidam, Thanks for your feedback. I hope you can understand nature is unpredictable. Google: El Bosque What To Expect From a Night Tour As for the glass of water, did you ask for it when you came back to reception? Cheers, Daniel Lalinde, Manager

Adeptes des oiseaux allez y !

Nicolas_L, Feb 2021

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed it!

Nachtwanderung mit Gürteltier

Juliane_W, Mar 2020

Schöne Tour durch den kleine Trails hinter dem Hotel El Bosque. Haben viele Vögel, Opossums, ein Gürteltier gesehen. Leider keine Schlangen oder Spinnen, aber so ist eben die Natur. Wir würden diese Tour wieder buchen.

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Hola Philipp, It's nature indeed. Other times we've seen up to two Tarantula types and two snake types. But in the forest each night is different :) Cheers, Daniel Lalinde, Manager

Selva real.

javier0462, Nov 2019

Experiencia en la selva por la noche. El guía amable y entusiasta nos mostró la fauna nocturna que actúa en la noche, frente a nosotros nos encontramos a escasa distancia los ojos brillantes de un felino salvaje mirándonos fijamente, algo muy difícil de observar en plena naturaleza. Enhorabuena por la excelente labor de recuperación de la fauna salvaje natural que realizáis. Excursión fuera de los circuitos turísticos habituales.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

Hola Javier, Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Fuiste realmente afortunado de ver un felino (Causel), cosa que pasa muy rara vez en un tour. Nos preocupamos mucho por mantener al bosque intacto realizando tours con grupos muy pequeños, lo cual favorece a la fauna y también a los clientes que buscan cada día más experiencias más auténticas y personalizadas, y menos turísticas. Me agrada saber que ese fue tu caso y que lo disfrutaste al máximo. Saludos, Daniel Lalinde, Gerente y Dueño
