Explore the Wildlife of Cahuita!
Cahuita National Park is one of the best places in Costa Rica to see animals up close, in their natural habitat. This 1.5-2 hour guided walk follows a flat and easy trail along the coast. You will walk through the jungle, while seeing the ocean at the same time.

Find Hidden Animals with Expert Guides
Many animals in the park stay very still to hide in the trees. Our team of licensed guides are experts at spotting wildlife. They have a “good eye” for finding creatures that are hard to see. Guests often see many animals within the first 200 meters of the walk. You will look for white faced capuchin monkeys and slow moving sloths. You will also see exotic birds and lizards in the secondary growth.

Visit the Beautiful Beaches
The tour ends at Punta Cahuita, the famous white sand beach of Cahuita. After the walk is finished, you can stay in the park to enjoy the beach and the view!
