Una experiencia nocturna increíble. Pudimos ver varias especies y la famosa rana de ojos rojos super cerca. El guía sabe muchísimo y hace el recorrido muy entretenido. Al final preparamos tortillas a mano con picadillo de aracache y jugo natural, un detalle cultural que hace el tour aún mejor. Totalmente recomendado!

La experiencia del night walk es increíble. Se siente la magia del bosque nocturno, lleno de sonidos y vida. El guía es profesional y ayudó a encontrar lo que más se busca ver: la famosa rana de ojos rojos. Ya que, verla tan cerca, en su ambiente natural es espectacular.

Great Tour!
The two guides where great! I forgot the name of one but he looks like the costa rican Hulk and the otherones name was jason... i believe...
The tour was perfect, first we made some tacos it was a great warm up for the group and than we went straight for some wildlife. And we saw a lot!
Personal favorit was the Fer the Lance, the Sloth and the Dartfrog!
I made some good pictures and overall i highly recommend the tour!
Thanks for the great time!

Thank you, Stefan! We're so glad you enjoyed the Night Walk La Fortuna and spotted amazing wildlife like the Fer-de-Lance, Sloth, and Dart Frog. The taco-making is always a highlight to start the experience. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to see you on another tour in the future!
Mathilde Monmont2025.11.28
This was our 3rd night walk in Costa Rica and in all honesty, it was our worst experience so far. We paid for a private tour as we wanted to have a more personalised experience and have full access to our guide’s knowledge.
However, after asking multiple questions, we often felt like we knew more than the guide simply from having done a few night walks before (and from our frog playing cards). He ignored and evaded some questions and also gave us information we later confirmed to be false. We asked him the difference between the Costa Rican red eye tree frog in the Caribbean vs the Pacific and he told us that it didn’t exist in the pacific. He did correct himself afterwords after looking up a PDF, however it seems to me that this would have been pretty basic nature guide knowledge since it was even on our $3 playing cards that we bought here.
We also felt that our guide was pretty disengaged with us, he often walked off even after we had spotted a frog or spider and were busy having a look at it. At one point, one of his colleagues even shouted after him (yo man, has dejado uno de los tuyos).
All this being said, he did continue an extra 30 minutes with us (although he was also late 15 minutes at the start).
The property itself does not feel in its most natural state. There were no tadpoles in the water for example which was shocking to us as we’ve seen them everywhere else.
This being said, I think that it’s difficult to find somewhere very natural in La Fortuna as it’s been rather spoilt by tourism (for this I am aware that I am myself a tourist and part of the problem of course :) ). However I would not recommend doing this tour if you have had a similar experience anywhere else in Costa Rica (eg: Drake Bay, Siquirres or Turrialba).

Hello Mathilde Monmont,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry that your night walk did not meet your expectations, especially considering it was your third night walk in Costa Rica and that you chose a private tour.
To clarify, a private tour guarantees that no other guests are added to your group, and that you have a dedicated guide exclusively for you. It does not change the natural conditions of the forest, but it ensures a more personalized and uninterrupted experience.
That being said, we have conducted an internal review of your feedback. We regret that the attitude of our guide fell short of our usual standards, and we want to assure you that this guide is no longer part of our operations. We do not tolerate this type of behavior in any way. Our team is committed to providing respectful, high-quality service at all times, and we are taking steps to ensure this does not happen again.
Regarding your comparison with Drake Bay, we fully understand the sentiment. I have personally visited the area and absolutely fell in love with it. Drake Bay and the Corcovado National Park region hold the highest wildlife density in all of Costa Rica and are considered one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. However, La Fortuna, while rich in natural beauty, is part of a broader tourism corridor with very different ecological dynamics. It’s important to note that comparing a world-class destination like Corcovado, recognized by National Geographic, with La Fortuna's biodiversity corridor is not an apples-to-apples comparison. The wildlife experience here is quite different, and we believe it’s not fair to compare these two unique places.
Our trail, for instance, is a regenerated forest that has naturally recovered over the years after being used for agriculture. This means wildlife presence can vary based on seasons, weather conditions, and reproductive cycles. While this does make it different from a remote wilderness like Corcovado, it doesn’t make it any less natural it’s just a different type of environment.
We also appreciate your constructive feedback and will continue to focus on the following areas for improvement:
✔️ Reinforcing the accuracy of naturalist information.
✔️ Enhancing the guide’s engagement and presence throughout the tour.
✔️ Reviewing punctuality to ensure consistent service.
Additionally, you mentioned Turrialba in your review, and I’d like to clarify that we do not typically offer these types of wildlife-focused tours there. Turrialba, while a beautiful region, is known more for activities such as white-water rafting on the Reventazón River, hiking in the Turrialba Volcano National Park, and exploring coffee plantations. It's not generally a hub for wildlife tours in the same way as La Fortuna or more remote areas like Drake Bay. Therefore, it’s important to consider that Turrialba's tourism scene is quite different, with more emphasis on adventure sports and nature hikes rather than focused wildlife observation.
Although we may not fully agree with some aspects of your review, we truly value your feedback, as it helps us to improve and remain transparent with our visitors.
We wish you a wonderful remainder of your trip in Costa Rica, and we hope you continue to enjoy amazing experiences during your adventures 💚🇨🇷.

Unfortunately our worst experience of Costa Rica, we did many night walks, and if you want to do it, please don’t do it in La Fortuna, go to Drake Bay, Siquirres, anywhere but here…
It’s not in the nature, it’s in a garden with benches, toilets, a bar, and the guides unfortunately don’t know anything about the nature, the plants and the insects. A shame created just for the mass tourism for USA.
Only good point is if you are with young children, it is then very friendly to do as everything is human made… « Trails » are cute paths made of cement and small rocks.
Really a big deception. Even the flashlights they give you are complete crap and don’t allow to spot anything… (and I still managed to find almost as many things as our « guide » that night…).

Hello Thomas PERIN 👋,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. However, we believe this review may not reflect the experience we offer at Night Walk La Fortuna. It's possible that the comment you're referring to might be about Mathilde's experience, but we believe some details could have been misinterpreted, or perhaps the experience was confused with another tour in La Fortuna.
Our tour takes place on a regenerated natural trail, which was once farmland but has naturally grown back into the forest. We support this regeneration process with minimal human intervention, ensuring the trail remains safe and accessible without transforming the area into an artificial garden or cement path.
At Night Walk La Fortuna, we do not have bars, cement walkways, or built-up areas. We focus on offering an authentic wildlife observation experience with certified guides and proper equipment.
It's important to mention that, as La Fortuna is a popular tourist area, our experience is designed within the possibilities the region allows. While we aim to offer an immersive nature experience, it’s important to note that this is not a remote area like Corcovado or Bahía Drake, where the biodiversity and connection to nature might be more intense.
For this reason, we believe your negative experience may have occurred at a different location, and we’d be happy to help you identify which tour it might have been.
We appreciate your comment, and we hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Costa Rica!

Our family had a great evening nature walk with Ignacio (and Claudio). We saw several sloths, birds and various types of frogs. This was a fun, easy evening activity for our family of four (kids ages 8 and 11). The tortilla making at the beginning was fun and the light bites were delicious!
