La Fortuna Night Walk
★★★★★ Rated 5.0 on Google
"Excelente! La energía de Wes y Robyn es fenomenal. Se nota que disfrutan lo que hacen y transmiten ese amor a su trabajo. Además tienen una gran habilidad para detectar animalitos en la noche. Una de mis mejores experiencias en todos mis viajes. La foto fue tomada con mi celular durante una caminata nocturna en Diciembre."

"Een echte aanrader deze tour, is je geld zeker waard! Robyn en Wes zijn super vriendelijk en vertellen passievol over de dieren. Hij is Costa Ricaans en zij is Amerikaans van oorsprong, waardoor ze elkaar goed aanvullen qua taal en informatie. Ze kunnen beiden goed Engels en weten ook allebei veel te vertellen over de Costa Ricaanse natuur. Ze namen ruim de tijd voor ons dus geen moment het idee gehad dat ze dit ‘eventjes’ erbij doen. Ook loop je in een afgelegen stukje natuur, waardoor het gevoel van toerisme/drukte ook direct weg is. Al bij al veel geleerd en veel gezien. Maar natuurlijk het belangrijkste dat we een leuke avond hebben gehad."

"I am from NYC and not a wildlife person—and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Wes and Robin were such experts at finding frogs, sloths, and other animals and teaching us about them. Honestly, I thought they might be paying these frogs … they were so well camouflaged, I had no idea how our guides could spot them. If you want to take a nature tour with two people who are truly passionate about what they do, this is the one for you. Cannot recommend it enough … and now, I have a newfound appreciation for frogs!"

ABOUT US:
MEET YOUR GUIDES ROBYN & WESLER!
Hola, I’m Robyn! I moved from the U.S. to Costa Rica in 2022 and immediately fell in love with the country — the people, the biodiversity, and the incredible wildlife.
Not long after my first visit to La Fortuna, I met Wesler. He’s originally from Sarchí, but his grandmother is from La Fortuna, and he spent much of his childhood visiting the area. Those early experiences exploring the rainforest and observing wildlife are what made him fall in love with this region and develop such a deep connection to nature.
Before guiding, I worked in the U.S. as an operations manager and handled reservations and logistics. When Wesler began inviting me to join him on night walks — especially when he had solo female travelers and wanted them to feel extra safe and comfortable — I discovered how much I truly loved guiding and sharing the rainforest experience firsthand.
In March of 2025, we got married, and in April of 2025, we began running our tour business together. Today, we combine Wesler’s lifelong local knowledge and naturalist experience with my background in operations and my passion for immersive, meaningful wildlife encounters — especially night walks, which remain my favorite way to experience the rainforest.
Wes and I or one of our trusted colleagues would be thrilled to guide you for any of the activities that we offer, from sloth tours to night walks, keeping groups small, ethical, and focused on genuine wildlife encounters. This isn’t just our work — it’s our life, our home, and something we truly love sharing with you!
