Overview

To participate, guests must be staying in Agujitas within 20-minutes walking distance of Jinetes de Osa Inn, even if you will have a car. The meeting point is not accessible by car and there is no parking.

On this two and a half hour trek through the rainforest, join Biologist Tracie “The Bug Lady” and Gianfranco Gómez (Coauthor of “Pocket Guide to the Mammals of Costa Rica”), as they team up to reveal the intriguing world of moonlight exploration.

Guests can expect to learn about fascinating topics on everything from bugs to bats, to all that creeps, crawls and flies by night.

This is Drake Bay's first and longest running nocturnal adventure, with over 20 years in operation. Join us for one of the most unique excursions in Costa Rica. Minimum age limit 8 years old. Tennis shoes or hiking boots required. Please let us know where you are lodging! This is important. Because of logistics we do not offer the tour from all area hotels!
