    Must do if you have smaller kids.

    This was a must do if you have younger kids. We did the tour with our 5 year old and saw so many bugs, frogs, and butterflies. The path that you walk on is made of small rocks so not muddy and it’s a short path(1km) which is perfect for kids. The tour lasted 1.5 hours which also fit our impatient kid! Highly recommend and our tour guide Paz did a great job.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌿🦋🐸 We’re delighted to hear that you and your 5-year-old had such a great time at **Reserva Biológica Ecocentro Danaus**. It’s wonderful to know that the trail length and duration were a good fit for your family and that you were able to see so many fascinating insects, frogs, and butterflies along the way. We truly appreciate your kind words about Paz. We’ll be happy to share your feedback with her! 😊 Thank you for recommending us to other families. We hope to welcome you back again in the future for another nature adventure! Pura vida! 🇨🇷🌱

    Highly recommended night walk!

    This was the first night tour that we took in the La Fortuna area (end of July 2026) and were very pleased with our tour! We booked directly with them and had no problems checking in. There were 7 of us with 3 kids between our 2 families. We immediately starting seeing many frogs, toads and lots of insects. We also saw caimans and several snakes. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the tour and never got bored as it seemed like we spotted something every 20 feet. Our guide Jo, made sure that everyone got to see the animals and was amazing how he could spot all the wildlife. The kids also really liked seeing the butterflies in the butterfly garden. The highlight of the nights was seeing the fer-de-lance, caimans and the red-eyed tree frog. The guide kept us clear of the dangerous animals and we felt safe throughout the tour. The location was also easy to find and the bugs weren't too bad (apply bug spray before entering). There are many choices for night walks in La Fortuna, and we highly recommend visiting Ecocentro Danaus if you have a chance.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 🐸🌿 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your first night walk in the La Fortuna area and, especially, that both the adults and children had such a great time. It’s wonderful to know you were able to spot such a variety of wildlife, including a fer-de-lance, caimans, and a red-eyed tree frog. 🐍🐊🐸 We truly appreciate your kind words about our guide Jo. His experience and ability to spot wildlife certainly help make each night walk a special experience. We’re also very happy to know that you felt safe and well accompanied throughout the tour. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to **Reserva Biológica Ecocentro Danaus** and sharing more of Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity with you. 🌱🦋 Pura vida, and thank you so much for recommending us! 🇨🇷

    Our guide was very...

    Our guide was very knowledgeable he showed us different species. It was fun because to me it was like a game of hide and seek and we basically tried to find fronts. The kids loved it.

    La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 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 La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 156 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs?

    +

    Around 55 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs 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.

    What is included in La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs?

    +

    Included: flashlights; Free Water to refill Bottles (Bottles - Not Provided); Day Passes for Self Guided Visit Day After (Request it once tour is Over); and Billingual Tour Guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs?

    +

    once in the location walk to the reception by following the signs. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
