    An amazing frog tour!

    Wes and Robyn were absolutely wonderful! They greeted us as soon as we parked and made us feel welcome right away. They were so kind, attentive, and engaging with our kids, even remembering and using their names throughout the tour. We saw so many amazing things, including frogs, spiders, and even a snake! You can tell they genuinely love what they do and go out of their way to make the experience special. We highly recommend this lovely couple for a private tour. An experience our family won’t forget!

    Epic night tour

    We had an amazing private night tour. Our originally booked night was pouring rain - incredibly hard - and the guides were in contact and let us reschedule for the next night. The next night was not raining, and our family of 6 got 2 guides!! We lucked out, and there was a sloth in a tree right above the parking area! Then on the actual walk, we got even more lucky, with sightings of the strawberry and red eyed frogs - classics. We saw other creatures as well. The guides were incredibly helpful and understaning with our tired, grumpy kids too. SO patient. The spot was close to town and easy to get to. 10/10, amazing experience!!

    Easily the best part of our trip

    We have been to Costa Rica twice and this was easily the best tour we have gone on! The guides, Wesler and Robin, were so engaging from the first minute to the last. They were great with our kids, not only pointing everything out, but taking extra time and care to explain things to each of us and give each person a unique experience. We saw so many animals including multiple species of frogs, snakes, insects and even a bunny. All four members of our family ranked this our favorite activity of the trip.

    Lovely evening

    We had a private nighttour. Robin and Wesley did a great job spotting the animals and giving us a lot of info upon the creatures and plants. While looking at the animals Robin made pictures with our cellphones. The pictures she took were right out of the National Geographic magazine. It was very nice because we could enjoy the forest en its animals while she made sure everything was on tape.

    La Fortuna Night Walk (Private Tour): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does La Fortuna Night Walk (Private Tour) 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 Night Walk (Private Tour) 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 Night Walk (Private Tour) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 86 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 Night Walk (Private Tour)?

    +

    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 Night Walk (Private Tour) 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 Night Walk (Private Tour)?

    +

    Around 30 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 Night Walk (Private Tour) 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 Night Walk (Private Tour)?

    +

    Included: Flashlights provided for use on the tour; and Entrance Fee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for La Fortuna Night Walk (Private Tour)?

    +

    Driving from La Fortuna Central Park (~7–10 min): Head toward Arenal/El Castillo, pass EcoGlide on the left, then take the first entrance on the left after EcoGlide, directly across from Callidryas Tours. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is La Fortuna Night Walk (Private Tour) offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    Is La Fortuna Night Walk (Private Tour) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: I confirm that this tour is safe for travelers with back problems, pregnant travelers, or. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
