Canopy + Rainforest Night Walk
Late-afternoon cables, then the forest after dark
Overview
A single 4:00 PM departure that catches the best light of the day on the cables and then keeps going into the forest's most active hours. You fly the waterfall circuit as the afternoon cools and the birds come out, then eat before heading back onto the trails with flashlights. Roughly seventy percent of rainforest animals are nocturnal, and the night walk is when you meet them: red-eyed tree frogs, kinkajous, sleeping toucans, tarantulas in their burrows and, if you are lucky, an eyelash viper coiled on a heliconia leaf.
