Best Sloth Tour! - There are so many sloth tours to choose from in La Fortuna and we are so glad we picked this one. David was our tour guide and he was very friendly, informative, and funny. We saw 4 sloths, 2 owls, bats, several iguanas, and we got lucky enough to see poison dart frogs!! David answered all questions and educated us along the tour. The tortilla cooking was a bonus! I highly recommend this affordable tour to anyone visiting La Fortuna!

Tour sloths in their natural environment - We had a great time on this tour. Even though it was pouring down rain, we were able to spot 4 sloths - including one baby! They have both two- and three-toed sloths on the property. The guide was super knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. He was able to provide many facts about the sloths and answered all our questions. What really impressed me was that this was a family-run place that was into sustainability. They care about the animals and plants on their property and do this as a way to inform the tourist. They are not trying to exploit the animals, unlike a number of places in the area. Afterwards, you get to squeeze sugar cane to make juice and make your own tortillas. Plus, the "grandma" provides you with a nice meal. Here little grandson was a wonderful helper too :) We highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful sloth experience - We did a sloth tour with Kenneth from La Fortuna Hikes and Trails and it was wonderful. The planning leading up to the tour was very good and the company went the extra mile to help us coordinate a driver for the day (who was also wonderful - thanks, Manuel!) Kenneth took us for a hike around a private reserve and was so knowledgeable about the animals and plants. He had an incredible eye and was able to spot tiny frogs, bats hiding under leaves, toucans, herons...and of course, the star...sloths! We were able to see seven sloths, including a mom and baby. It was such a thrill to see these incredible animals in their natural habitat. (Be aware of the sloth park in La Fortuna that is more like a zoo). Kenneth was amazing at spotting the sloths and setting up a telescope for us. Apart from being so knowledgable, he was fun and amusing and is obviously passionate about what he does. There are some shady operations in La Fortuna that are capitalizing on the wildlife - La Fortuna Hikes and Trails is not one of them. This company is truly committed to responsible tourism and respecting the environment and wildlife. After our hike, we were treated to a delicious typical Costa Rican lunch. It wasn't a cooking class but we didn't mind - the food was delicious!

Go with your eyes closed - We visited with David and another couple. This small committee visit delighted us, we saw many sloths and other animals. David was a teacher and gave us a lot of information about the different species that populate this beautiful reserve.

Fantastic Tour Guide and Tour - Sergio was an amazing guide! He taught us so many interesting things about sloths and the biodiversity of Costa Rica. Not to mention that when a coworker mentioned seeing a baby sloth, he instantly took us over to watch her climbing down her tree and vines! It was amazing, just make sure you wear your bug spray!
