Hatillo Night walk

PER PERSON

Walk

Explore the Tropical Forest After Dark
Experience the forest from a completely different perspective.
As night falls, the tropical forest comes alive with sounds, movement, and species that remain hidden during the day. This guided night walk takes you along a forest trail and a small stream in Hatillo, Quepos, an area rich in biodiversity and home to a remarkable variety of wildlife.

Tour

Every tour is unique. Nature is unpredictable, and we never know exactly what we will encounter. Depending on the conditions of the night, we may observe frogs, spiders, snakes, insects, sleeping birds, mammals, or hear the calls of owls and other nocturnal species.

Tour Details

Location: Hatillo, Quepos, Costa Rica
Duration: Approximately 2 hours
Difficulty: Easy to moderate
Ideal for: Nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, families, and anyone interested in learning about the tropical rainforest.
Every night is different. Every walk tells a new story.

Experience

This experience is about much more than simply finding animals. Along the way, you will learn about the tropical forest ecosystem, the importance of its plants and waterways, and the fascinating relationships between the organisms that live there.
Each wildlife encounter becomes an opportunity to understand the biology, behavior, adaptations, and ecological role of the species we observe. Our goal is to help visitors develop a deeper appreciation for the complexity and importance of Costa Rica’s tropical forests.
Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast, nature photographer, or simply curious about the hidden world that emerges after sunset, this tour offers an authentic and educational experience in one of Costa Rica’s most diverse ecosystems.

Of the 4 rafting trips I’ve taken this crew is by far the best! The drive up the mountain was a trip in itself learning about the wildlife and jungle. Very professional and knowledgeable in the raft and the best homemade lunch you can ask for under a waterfall. Highly recommend and we will be using Sweet and Salty adventures in the future.
PURA VIDA!

Man. What an epic day on the river. My son and I spent the day with Sweet and Salty on the Savegre river and it was so much fun. These guys are consumate pros. Their equipment is top notch, and these guys are skilled. We felt 100% safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to take either my elderly dad or my young nephews out with these guys. We saw numerous blue herons, white cranes, toucans and couramonts. The lunch was delicious, and in front of a beautiful waterfall. We paid 300 American for both of us, and honestly I would pay 300 each. Extremely good value. If you’re looking for a really fun day, you can’t go wrong with this outfit. Pure Vida!

Ronnie and Andre with Sweet Salty Adventure Co. did an amazing job! They have tons of knowledge about the local plant and wildlife and they take the time to stop and show you things you would never notice without them. They made us a fantastic lunch and it was a great rafting trip through the beautiful rainforest of Costa Rica. The staff is very kind and willing to take the extra time to show you a great trip. For example, we stayed and explored around the waterfall for much longer than any other group that came through while we were there. I highly recommend that you use Sweet and Salty Adventure Co. for rafting, tubing, or mangrove tours!
