Tour Description
The Twilight Safari is a truly unique river journey designed to showcase the transition of wildlife from dusk into darkness. As the sun dips below the horizon, you will drift peacefully down the river while our expert naturalist guides do the rowing. Using a specialized, low-impact lighting system, we will help you spot the elusive nocturnal mammals, reptiles, and insects that only emerge once the sun sets.
Tour Highlights
The Magic of Dusk: Witness the forest change as the light disappears from the sky and the peaceful darkness of the jungle takes over.
Nocturnal Wildlife Spotting: With the help of high-powered spotlights, search for nocturnal creatures such as bats, caimans, owls, and night herons.
Specialized Lighting: Our boats are equipped with lighting systems designed to illuminate the forest without disturbing the animals, providing a magical "National Geographic" experience.
Hidalgo Family Visit: End the evening with a visit to the Hidalgo Family Home. This cultural exchange allows you to enjoy traditional Costa Rican snacks and coffee prepared in an authentic, local setting.
