Just because it's getting late doesn't mean it's time to head back to your hotel room. In fact, if the moon is out and the sky is clear enough, there's plenty of fun to be had, whether you're visiting the rainforests of Costa Rica or the beaches along Florida's West Coast.

Travelers looking for an unforgettable experience under the stars need not look any further. Here are five one-of-a-kind moonlight activities available right now.
