Depart around 6.30pm and finish near 9.45pm with a focus on nocturnal wildlife. ๐Ÿ”‘ Key Details Duration: Around 3 hours Typical timing: About 6.30pm to 9.45pm Minimum age: 2 years Group size: 2 to 15 guests Pickup: Available from Drake Bay lodging ๐ŸŒŸ What to Expect Leave reception in the early evening and travel a short way inland to forested family farmland set about 1.5 km from the beach. The paths move between primary and secondary growth where night sounds replace daytime bird chorus. Your guide works with torches to find frogs, insects and other nocturnal species without rushing the group. The walk is paced for mixed ages and finishes with a return to Drake Bay later in the evening. ๐Ÿ“ Location Drake Bay on the Osa Peninsula is the base for this night outing. The trail sits on nearby family farmland at Rio Agujitas, about 1.5 km from the beach, rather than deep inside Corcovado National Park, which keeps logistics simple after dark while still putting you under rainforest canopy. Being close to the village means pickup and drop-off are practical for most lodging, and the short inland transfer leaves more of the evening for torchlit wildlife stops. Once you leave the beach road, the farm paths feel properly quiet, with night insects and frogs often more active than daytime traffic would suggest. โœ… Prerequisites The hike is rated very easy and suits beginners and families from 2 years old. You should be comfortable walking short distances in low light on uneven ground, and groups usually run between 2 and 15 guests. Bring a flashlight or headlamp, wear long trousers and sturdy closed shoes or rubber boots, and pack insect repellent. Tell the guide about any night-vision or mobility concerns before you leave reception so the pace can be adjusted for the whole group. ๐Ÿ’› Why Choose Us Local guides who know these farm trails after dark lead the walk, so wildlife stops come from first-hand experience rather than a fixed checklist. The family-farm setting keeps the outing accessible from Drake Bay without needing a long overnight expedition into the national park. Pickup, a clear three-hour window from about 6.30pm to 9.45pm, and a trail only 1.5 km from the beach make night wildlife workable for mixed ages. Sightings are never guaranteed, but the quieter farmland paths give frogs, insects and other nocturnal species room to appear if conditions are right. ### Essential information _None._ ### Whatโ€™s included Local night-hike guide Guided walk on family-farm forest trails Pickup from Drake Bay lodging when arranged Drop-off after the outing ### Whatโ€™s not included Transport to and from the meeting point if you opt out of pickup Torch or headlamp Rubber boots and personal clothing Mosquito repellent and drinking water Gratuities Travel insurance ### Kit list Flashlight or headlamp Drinking water Mosquito repellent Long trousers Rubber boots or sturdy closed shoes Camera Light rain jacket in the wet season ## FAQs ### What time does the night hike start? The usual plan is to leave reception around 6.30pm and return around 9.45pm. That gives about 3 hours on the trail and farm paths after dark. Exact timing can shift slightly with sunset and weather. The team will share the meet time for your date ahead of the activity. ### Where does the night hike take place? The walk takes place on a family farm set about 1.5 km from the beach in primary and secondary forest near Drake Bay. It is a short transfer from the village rather than a long trek into Corcovado itself. Expect farm tracks and forest paths rather than a summit climb. ### Is pickup included? Pickup and drop-off are available for this outing. Share your lodging details with the team so they can collect you before the 6.30pm departure window. If you prefer to arrive independently, ask for the reception meeting point and directions ahead of the activity. ### Is this suitable for children? Children from 2 years old can join with an adult. Groups usually run between 2 and 15 guests. Young children should be comfortable walking after dark with a torch. Ask ahead if anyone needs a slower pace on muddy sections. ### What should I bring? Bring drinking water, a flashlight or headlamp, a camera, mosquito repellent, long trousers and rubber boots if you have them. Closed shoes help on muddy night paths. A light rain jacket is useful in the wet season when showers pass through quickly. ### What wildlife might we see? Night trails are good for frogs, insects, spiders and other nocturnal rainforest life. Sightings vary by season and luck and are never guaranteed. Guides use lights carefully and keep noise down so animals are less disturbed. Follow their lead on how close to approach any wildlife you find. ### How difficult is the walk? The hike is rated very easy. You walk forest and farm paths at night with a guide rather than covering long mountain miles. You should be comfortable walking in low light on uneven ground. Tell the guide about any mobility concerns before you set out from reception. ### How long does it last? Allow around 3 hours from departure to return, typically spanning early evening into mid evening on the farm trails. Stops for wildlife can stretch the outing a little. Build buffer time if you have a late dinner planned back in the village. ### What happens if it rains? Light rain is common and the walk often continues under the canopy. Heavy storms or flooded paths can force a change of route or timing for safety. If the trail cannot be used safely, the team will contact you directly with the most suitable alternative for that evening. ### Do I need to bring my own torch? Bring a flashlight or headlamp so you can see the trail and follow wildlife stops without relying on another guest's light. Fresh batteries or a fully charged unit are important. The guide will also use lighting to locate animals, but your own torch makes uneven sections and the return walk more comfortable. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/50d5b63f-524b-404b-b606-06e0ec16b755.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
