Explore the Jungle After Dark

Your night tour begins with a scenic drive from Hopkins or Placencia into the lush Maya Mountains. As darkness falls, your licensed local guide will lead you along jungle trails illuminated only by moonlight and your flashlight. The forest transforms after sunset—frogs croak in the streams, owls call from the treetops, armadillos scurry through the leaves, and fireflies light up the trail.

This immersive Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary night hike offers a sensory experience like no other, revealing the hidden world of Belize’s rainforest when most animals awaken.

Encounter Nocturnal Wildlife

During your Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve night hike, you’ll have the rare opportunity to spot creatures that remain hidden during the day. Keep your eyes open for kinkajous, owls, exotic insects, frogs, and nocturnal birds. With a little luck, you might even catch a glimpse of the sanctuary’s most iconic and elusive resident—the jaguar.

Each step through the jungle tells a story, guided by expert naturalists who help you identify tracks, animal calls, and glowing eyes in the dark.
