Dusk slides across the Pacific and the rainforest exhales — a chorus of insects rises, leaves whisper, and pairs of eyes begin to catch your guide’s beam. Meeting at Sukia Park, the two-hour night walk threads narrow trails that feel smaller when the forest pulls in around you; every rustle might be a sloth shifting position or a frog blinking ruby-red in the light.
moderate.
2 hours.
Participants should have moderate fitness: able to walk uneven trails for 1.5–2 miles with occasional short elevation changes.
The tour is approximately two hours and meets at Sukia Park; check your booking confirmation for the exact meeting time and location.
Common sightings include tree frogs, owls, insects, nocturnal birds like motmots, kinkajous, and occasionally sloths or snakes—sightings depend on season and luck.
Children who can walk on uneven terrain and people with moderate mobility can usually participate, but note the trails are unpaved and somewhat narrow; contact the operator with special requirements.
Guides provide flashlights and a spotting scope; bringing your own headlamp and binoculars is recommended for personal use.
Manuel Antonio National Park was established in the early 1970s to protect a stretch of coastal rainforest and marine shoreline, preserving both biodiversity and local fishing heritage.
The park faces pressure from heavy visitation; staying on trails, avoiding flash photography, and not feeding wildlife are key practices to reduce impact.
