Dan was a great guide and very well prepared. We saw lots of frogs (including the red eyed tree frog!), butterflies, leafcutter ants, etc. The path through the park was well paved and not muddy, even though it started pouring during the tour. I think it would be better if they could talk some more about the plants in the park as a lot of them look really cool! Overall would highly recommend :) I'm glad the tour helps support conservation in the area as well!

Very cool night walk out in the rainforest. Our guide made sure that we saw slithers, as well as frogs, a porcupine, and a cayman. The place is a little far out of town in the middle of nowhere so best to book if you have a car

This experience was so awesome and nothing like we’d ever done before. It was just my fiancé and I so our tour guide, Shayla, let us start early because she wanted to make sure we saw the sloth that was out!! She even made sure we got a perfect picture of it. The rain didn’t stop us- if anything it brought more out. She was so knowledgeable on every single animal and plant we saw. She even knew where some of the animals routinely came back to sleep. I think it was the perfect length- a decent sized loop that passed several lagoons and even some cascades! We were so excited to have seen what we did and we got some awesome pictures!

What an incredible review! Hearing that our forest sanctuary stood out as a highlight of your trip is the ultimate reward for our local team. We believe a must-do eco-adventure in La Fortuna should feel personal, educational, and absolutely unforgettable. Shayla loves sharing her deep knowledge of how our local flora and fauna interact, especially when the tropical rain activates the vibrant life around our lagoons. We are so happy you loved the trail layout and caught those awesome pictures of our wild friends sleeping.

It was a little scary being in the dark, but Angie made it feel comfortable, and she was great at helping us find some cute frogs, insects, and telling us about the agriculture! Really enjoyable night!
Response from Host, May 2026

This was an amazing tour! Shayla was so good at spotting the animals. She even called a cayman over and we saw it upfront. The walk was not stressful my 4 year old could do it. Overall this tour was so worth it and we would do it again if given the chance.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Glad you liked the tour! It’s awesome that you found the experience so worth it. We love showing families the magic of the night, and seeing a cayman is always a highlight!

Amanda_A, Apr 2026
This tour is amazing and I cannot say enough positive things about this excursion. We (2 adults, 1 young child) did a private night tour with Shyla and it was super informative and exciting. We saw tree frogs mating, saw a coral snake, and so many other interesting creatures. Anura Ecotourism is about 22 minutes outside of La Fortuna downtown area. Highly recommend for families (even with younger children)
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled that your family, especially your little one, had such an exciting time with Shyla. Seeing a coral snake and tree frogs is a rare and educational treat. At Anura Ecological Park, we love hosting families for a safe and personalized night tour. Pura Vida!

Alberto made this walk absolutely amazing. His love for and knowledge of the land and animals made this so fun. He was patient with our questions, and waited while we searched for the things he saw so easily. We learned so much more about the delicate ecosystems of not only Costa Rica, but the world. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

ESTRELLA_G, Mar 2026
This tour was so fun!! It is definitely for someone that is patient and okay with not seeing many animals. Our guide was Francisco (AMAZING btw) and he did a great job at finding and explaining the insects and animals that we saw. In our tour, we didn't really see too much, which was okay with me. Like our guide explained, its nature, so we can't really know what that day will be there, and it has been the dryer season so not a lot of animals are drawn to the ponds there.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! It means a lot to us, as reviews help ecotourism projects like ours grow. We are thrilled you enjoyed the tour with Francisco!

Alberto had put so much heart and work into is ecological refuge! We learned so much from him about plants, birds, insects, and animals in the area and how they interact in the rainforest ecosystem. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Many thanks for taking the time to leave this review. Our ecological refuge is the result of ongoing habitat restoration and deliberate planting of native species, and it’s rewarding to hear guests take away a deeper understanding of rainforest interactions. Guided nature tours like ours in La Fortuna aim to combine learning and conservation; your support helps keep this work going. We hope to welcome you again.
Joanna_P, Dec 2025
We loved the tour. Alberto was so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the environment and his work. We saw so many frogs and learned to tell the difference between males and females. I got fantastic photos that look like they're right out of an advertisement for Costa Rica. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly happy you enjoyed the night walk at ANURA near La Fortuna. Learning about frog behavior, including how to identify males and females, is one of our favorite parts of sharing Costa Rica’s biodiversity. It’s wonderful to hear you also captured great wildlife photos — our goal is to offer an educational, small-group nature tour that feels real and inspiring. We hope to welcome you back in the future to see how the habitat continues to grow.
Dana_K, Dec 2025
I don’t often leave reviews, but this tour compelled me t. Alberto is a special person who deeply cares for the environment. He’s extremely knowledgeable and makes everyone feel so safe. He’s transformed an abandoned cacao and coffee farm into a wildlife paradise. I’d love to come back again in a few years to see how many more species of animals and plants thrive in his space. Thank you Alberto!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, especially if it’s something you don’t usually do. Your words truly motivate us. At ANURA Ecological Park, we continue transforming this land into a healthy habitat for local wildlife, and every year we see new species arriving. Whenever you return to La Fortuna, it would be wonderful to welcome you back and show you how the forest keeps coming back to life. Knowledge is power, and restoration is patience!
Jacopo_B, Nov 2025
Alberto is the most passionate guide we’ve ever had on a tour! He truly loves what he does, and his explanations are incredibly interesting—from plants to frogs, from insects to birds. He also has a very inspiring vision of how preservation and business can come together, and there is so much to learn from him. I almost forgot to mention that the place itself is magical, and the tour is absolutely amazing!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
I truly appreciate you taking the time to write such a wonderful review, these comments help travelers discover small conservation projects like ours. Sharing stories about plants, frogs, insects and birds is a joy when visitors are as curious as you were. Thank you for valuing both the magic of the night and the work behind the scenes. If you ever return to La Fortuna, please stop by to see how our restored habitats continue to flourish!
Allison_T, Nov 2025
We had a wonderful night tour with Alberto, the biologist and owner. It ended up being just our family, which made the experience extra special. Alberto was warm with our kids and followed their curiosity, using each moment to teach in a way that felt reassuring. His phrase “knowledge is power” helped them feel comfortable with the wildlife around us.
We got up close to red-eyed frogs and caiman. We also saw bats, fireflies, many different types of birds, insects, spiders and plants, and learned how each species fits into the ecosystem. The walk was short, paved, and easy, taking just under two hours. There are two resident sloths on the property; we didn’t spot them this time, but we loved hearing about how Alberto is restoring the land with native plants and watching the forest come back to life.
A meaningful, engaging experience for families. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
What a pleasure it was to explore the night jungle with your family! Red-eyed frogs, caimans, fireflies… nighttime in Costa Rica is full of magic. Thank you for appreciating the simplicity of our trail and the mission behind the project. If you ever return to La Fortuna, come visit us again, the forest changes quickly here, and who knows what new nocturnal creatures will be waiting to surprise us!
Alicia_V, Oct 2025
The tour was personable, educational and all around amazing. The guide was able to point out animals that that I would have 100% missed. He allowed us to walk at our own pace, patiently waited for us to take videos and photos and was was all around a great experience
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We truly appreciate your review! At Anura Ecological Park, we love creating relaxed, educational experiences where guests can connect with Costa Rican wildlife at their own pace. We’re glad you enjoyed the night walk and hope you’ll visit us again to see how the forest keeps growing and attracting even more species!
Medard_S, Sep 2025
Alberto is a passionate biologist who dedicates his time to this carefully crafted plot of nature. We did an evening tour with him and saw lots of smaller animals - notably the various frog species of course 😃! His English is very good (Alberto is from Spain) and he managed to explain the wonders of biology in understandable ways - you can’t escape from becoming an enthusiast and look at Costa Rican nature very differently from then on. Best of luck with making your reserve a great success and treasure if nature, Alberto!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you very much for your thoughtful words and for joining the night tour. It was a pleasure to share the frogs and nocturnal life with you, and I appreciate that my explanations made the biology accessible. ANURA started as a restoration project, and each year the habitat gains complexity. Come back to La Fortuna someday and you will notice taller trees, denser cover and different species showing up in the ponds and forest. I would love to guide you again and compare notes on what has changed.
Melanie_L, Sep 2025
We did this tour with Alberto and thought it was incredibly interesting. We loved hearing his story about how he has come to use the land for night walks and his passion for Costa Rica and wildlife is so evident. He helped us find many interesting animals and creatures through our walk. Our kids really enjoyed it!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for taking the time to write about your tour. We’re delighted that your kids enjoyed exploring the trail and discovering the diversity of Costa Rica’s wildlife.

Jerry_M, Jun 2025
The Night Tour with Alejandro was Amazing! His life work has been to buy this large tract of land, FULL of an astounding array of animals and amphibians, insects an serpents, and, working 2 jobs, pour all his resources and effort into personally protecting it from any and all encroachments while hand-building natural walkways that allow him to showcase and share the wonder of the Night Walk experience with curious visitors.
For safety, he leads, setting a slow, deliberate pace, and with each of us having been given our own flashlight, we all become explorers, as he shows us and teaches us how and where to look for the many night animals and insects hidden away within plain sight.
The tour was EXCELLENT, his love and dedication to the environment, could not have been better -what my wife and I learned from him about how to spot animals and where to look to see the amphibians and insects that are hidden (unless you know how to find/see them) allowed us to experience many more encounters with Costa Rican wildlife of every sort for the whole rest of our vacation!
We couldn't more strongly encourage you to take this tour with Alejandro, and do it early in your visit to Costa Rica, so you'll know how to discover and experience all the life hiding around you during the rest of your vacation!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
What an incredible message. Thank you! Knowing that the night walk helped you spot more wildlife throughout your journey is one of the best compliments I could receive. At ANURA, we’ve worked hard to turn a once-abandoned piece of land into a thriving habitat, and it’s an honor to share it with curious and mindful visitors like you. I’d love to welcome you again on your next visit to La Fortuna!
Karina_F, Mar 2025
