Don’t miss this! - Christian was amazing! Extremely knowledgable moving us around the most beautiful rain forest we had toured! Between sloths, butterflies, red eyes frogs, poisonous dart frogs and the coffee and empanadas at the end of the tour - this is a must see! The owners are wonderful hosts and should be very proud of their “little slice of heaven!”

Best Wildlife Tour in Bijagua! - Daniel was amazing! His passion and knowledge of the animals and plants of Costa Rica is only surpassed by his ability to spot the unspotable. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and saw so much!

Highly Satisfied - This was an incredible experience. Kevin was an excellent and knowledgable guide who provided interesting details about the animals, trees and flowers that we saw. They also have specialized viewing equipment which is necessary to see sloths. We saw multiple species of sloths, birds, frogs (poison dart) and butterflies (they have a special conservatory). Kevin was consciousness to take multiple pictures and videos. Other menders of the tour group were also in the field trying to spot additional animals for us (and were successful). In all, great experience across the board and well worth the money.

Great Tour - We loved this tour. It was intimate and not overwhelming. We saw several sloths, both 2 and 3-toed, 2 vipers, blue jean frogs and red eye frogs. Our guide was so wonderful and knowledgeable. He took his time and answered all of our questions. Definitely recommend this tour!

Wonderful sloth and jungle tour - Milton was incredibly knowledgeable and found animals for us to see that we would have been oblivious of had we been walking through the jungle area on our own. He helped us get great photographs to remember our trip by, a highlight was a sloth dining! Thank you Wilton.

Highly recommend - knowledgeable tour guide & sloths - This was such an amazing experience! Daniel A was a fantastic tour guide - super knowledgeable and friendly (he & migdali s joined us after the tour for drinks and local Costa Rican food!) Walking around the nature reserve allowed us to see so many animals in their natural habitat. We saw so many animals: 2- and 3-toed sloths, red eye tree frogs, poisonous dart frog, 3 different toucan species, and more! Highly recommend this place!!!

Rainforest experience - Alexander was the best guide, he knew exactly where to look to see sloths. He was able to get the best photos and videos for us through his scope. He also showed us monkeys, frogs, termites, birds, and butterflies. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the biology of each creature. It started to rain at the end of the tour, we sat in the pavilion and had coffee and cookies. Great time, money well spent.

Great time at Jungle Life Costa Rica! - What a wonderful time with the people at Jungle Life Costa Rica! I was traveling with a group of 9 other travel agents doing an educational trip around Costa Rica. We couldn't reach out original destination because of road construction so we pivoted and pulled in to Jungle Life. They were able to accommodate us and off we went. (note: we paid the general admission and received no special treatment). Kevin was our guide. Friendly and so knowledgeable. What's great is that he has a high-powered monocular so that when he spotted the sloths in the treetops, he's able to take your phone and get a great shot for you. The average person would miss them without an expert guide. All the guides there share information because these animals are good at hiding. I like this type of experience because the animals are living their natural lives and the humans are respectful visitors. At the end we were treated to bananas grown on property, coffee and cookies. Great hospitality! OH, and the butterfly experience at the end!! Huge butterfly came and landed on my hand. Magical. I highly recommend Jungle Life and will do so for my clients as well.
