Amazing Trip - Worth the money. Full day with a guide that has a lot of knowledge, some beautiful hikes and sights to be seen during this trip. Nice ending with the thermal springs. Carlos, our guide, was amazing! HIGHLY recommend! The fee for the trip pays for everything during the day.

10/10 Sloth Adventure - So much fun!! We drove around to different pockets of the forest and got out to walk around and find the animals in their natural habitat. It was such an incredibly authentic experience, and our guide was fantastic.

Excellent tour for finding sloths in the wild. Would definitely recommend! - Riccardo and Manuel the driver were excellent in helping us to find the sloths. We saw lots of three toe sloths and even some two toe sloths. Riccardo was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about their behaviour and how to identify them.

Sloth Tour - Really great tour with Marceles [sorry if I've spelled it wrong..] And our sloth spotting driver. These guys were great, really positive and motivated to see as many sloths as possible. We saw 5 and two were moving, we got some really good pictures and they were more than happy to help get some close up shots. For the last part in the rainforest Lodge we had some traditional costarican snacks.
