La Fortuna and the Arenal region offer some of the best wildlife photography opportunities in Central America. From macro night sessions capturing colorful frogs and insects to multi-flash hummingbird photography and full-day bird photography expeditions to remote locations like Boca Tapada, our private tours are designed specifically for photographers who want more than just a sightseeing walk.

Macro Night Photography

Our night macro photography tours are one of our most unique offerings. Using professional lighting setups, we help you capture stunning images of red-eyed tree frogs, glass frogs, colorful insects, and other nocturnal creatures. Your guide handles spotting and lighting while you focus on composition and shooting.

Hummingbird Multi-Flash Sessions

Capture frozen-wing shots of Costa Rica's most colorful hummingbirds with our multi-flash photography setup. We provide the flash equipment, diffusers, and positioning — you bring your camera and telephoto lens. Species include violet sabrewings, green hermits, and white-necked jacobins.

Bird Photography Expeditions

From the wetlands of Ecocentro Danaus to the remote lowlands of Boca Tapada and the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge, our full-day birding photography tours take you to the best locations for toucans, tanagers, macaws, raptors, and waterbirds. Your guide carries a spotting scope and knows the best perches and angles.

What to Bring

We recommend a DSLR or mirrorless camera with a telephoto lens (100-400mm for birds, macro lens for night), sturdy tripod or monopod, extra batteries and memory cards, and a rain cover for your gear. We provide professional lighting equipment for night sessions and multi-flash setups.
