    Exceptional Twilight Tour

    This was my very favorite tour in all of Costa Rica! We did the twighlight tour and it was amazing! You get the best of both worlds as you start during the daylight and see monkeys, birds and other mammals, then you transition to the night tour with snakes and frogs and tarantulas! We watched a beautiful sunset over the canopy as we trekked across the first hanging bridges and then were given flashlights to explore the jungle at night for the final ones. Our guide, Harvin, was absolutely amazing! He was so knowledgeable, answering our questions about geology and fungi, teaching us about the bioluminescence of different types of insects and such, while still keeping our kids super engaged, helping them to spot frogs and joking with them. Harvin had a great eye and was able to spot many many animals that we never would have seen. He also helped us take some amazing photos, as he would angle the telescopic lens and the light of the flashlight to get these great, dramatic night shots (which made my photos look amateur in comparison!) we saw a ton of wildlife. The kids loved it and so did I. The hanging bridges are really fun and the highlight of our trip!

    Response from the operator: Dear Kari, It brings us so much joy to read your review! We are truly thrilled and fascinated to hear that you enjoyed such a magical transition between day and night in the heart of our rainforest. It is a true honor for us that you allowed us to be part of your journey and of those unforgettable memories you are taking home from Costa Rica. We love knowing that Harvin was able to share that passion for nature and that your children had such a great time discovering the secrets of the forest. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for visiting us and for sharing such positive energy! ¡Pura vida!

    I had a great time during...

    I had a great time during this twilight trek. Tour guide Alvaro was knowledgeable of the area and was able to spot a couple of animals for our group. Thank you Alvaro.

    Response from the operator: Dear Christian, Thank you very much for sharing your experience. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed the twilight trek and that Alvaro’s knowledge of the area helped your group spot wildlife along the way. Each evening walk offers its own unique discoveries. We truly appreciate your visit and your kind words. Pura Vida.

    Mistico Hanging Bridges - An Unforgettable Evening Hike

    Our Guide Alvaro was wonderful!!! He was so good at spotting animals we could have easily walked by and missed. He took the time to show us with his telescope and even helped us capture photos / videos up close! We had a wonderful time on our evening tour through the hanging bridges. At the beginning we saw many monkeys, a viper, May species of birds and a lizard and then we walked around and enjoyed the trails. It started to pour rain! But we still enjoyed every minute (we came prepared with rain jackets). At the end of the hike we saw different frogs and tarantulas too! I would recommend booking an evening tour over the day time as it was more quiet because there was less crowds and our tour was more private too. I will mention that it was steep and could be slippery in the wrong shoes so were shoes with good traction and pack a raincoat just incase!

    Response from the operator: Dear Marilyn, Thank you very much for sharing your experience. It is great to know the evening tour allowed you to observe such a variety of wildlife and that Alvaro’s keen eye helped you appreciate details that might otherwise go unnoticed. The rainforest at night offers a different atmosphere, especially when the weather adds a bit of drama to the walk. Each tour unfolds in its own way, and being prepared for changing conditions always makes the experience more comfortable. We appreciate your visit and your recommendation. Pura Vida.

    Hanging Bridges Twilight Walk in Arenal Volcano: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.

    How much does Hanging Bridges Twilight Walk in Arenal Volcano cost?

    +

    Prices start at $66 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hanging Bridges Twilight Walk in Arenal Volcano take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.

    Is Hanging Bridges Twilight Walk in Arenal Volcano worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 42 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hanging Bridges Twilight Walk in Arenal Volcano?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Hanging Bridges Twilight Walk in Arenal Volcano suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hanging Bridges Twilight Walk in Arenal Volcano?

    +

    Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hanging Bridges Twilight Walk in Arenal Volcano start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Fortuna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    +

    Included: Naturalist guide; Bottled water; telescope and binoculars; Entrance fee to Mistico Hanging Bridges Trail; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Do not include transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
