22. Night Walk Around Arenal Volcano
4.8· 318 reviews· 2.5 hoursWe are the only company that offers an authentic night hike inside the Rainforest, at the base of the majestic Arenal Volcano. In addition, we are the only local company certified as Family & Kids Friendly, ideal for family enjoyment and suitable for all ages. This experience takes place in a 100% natural environment, it is not a controlled environment. The animals live in complete freedom, so each walk is different and sightings may vary every night. Accompanied by an expert naturalist guide, we will explore the trails of Mirador El Silencio. During the tour we will look for frogs such as the hourglass, Blue Jeans and the iconic red-eyed frog. It is also possible to observe exotic insects, reptiles and snakes. With any luck, we can find mammals like sloths, possums or anteaters. To enjoy this experience safely, it is essential to use closed shoe.
