A guided night stroll through the trails near the lodge will take you on an exciting trip. The night offers a different world to explore than the daytime. Get closer to the forest inhabitants in the moonlight to discover their secrets. Awe-inspiring sleeping creatures include sleeping birds, beautiful spiders, snakes, and the elusive western tarsier. This close encounter with nocturnal creatures is a fascinating excursion into the night's mysteries.
