Loved it! - This tour was so fun! It was my favorite thing of my trip to Costa Rica (I am an animal lover though!). We saw both species of sloths and we saw a baby with its mom :) the guide took lots of photos and videos with his binoculars and air dropped them to us at the end!! We also saw a bird which was cool, and you get to go to this cafe and get coffee and a snack at the end of the tour. Overall really fun!

Very interesting excursion to discover the sloths - We were very lucky because we saw 5 sloths and many other animals. We were alone with the guide and the driver, which was perfect. Our companions (Mercedes and Pablo) were very interesting and professional!

Well worth the early start - The guides (Aaron) and the driver were the most friendly and knowledgeable people. We saw a lot of wildlife, and Aaron gave us many details on their habitat, history and activity. It was a well worthwhile trip, and we enjoyed it immensely. The photos were taken and shared with us by our guide Aaron.

Unmissable tour - Early start to watch the sloths waking up - our really knowledgeable Naturalist guide Aaron shared so many facts about the sloth, he and his driver spotted both 2 toed and 3 toed sloths and shared excellent images from his phone scope. Enthusiastic to answer all our questions and happy to spot other birds/animals along the way. Delicious breakfast to finish off a perfect tour! Highly recommend!

A fantastic slothing adventure - Our Sloth tour was amazing! The driver and the guide spotted a great number of sloths and even showed us other wildlife. They answered our questions enthusiastically. They went to a great deal of trouble to point out the wildlife, even using a laser pointer. With the use of a telescope we got to see close-ups of every animal. In addition,we the guide took close-up pictures of the wildlife with our phones so we could take our memories home. I highly recommend this tour.
