Sloth Tour Family Adventure - Our sloth tour with Jaime was amazing! We saw 2 sloths within the first 15 minutes of the tour. It was amazing how quickly Jaime could spot them. We saw so many! We also saw many birds, an iguana, leaf cutter ants and poison dart frogs. Jaime was funny, engaging and informative. The snack break at the end was perfect and a taste of true Costa Rica flavors.

An incredible sloth tour - Mercedes was a really good tour guide showing us about sloths and being really involved and active. He strived to give us a better view and pictures of the animals, he also recommended things to do for other parts of our trip. The included breakfast was lovely at that the guide and driver ate with us and exchanged information about our different cultures. Gerard was a very useful driver taking us carefully and peacefully to our destinations, he told us what beaches were good and advised us on where to eat out. Not only did we get to see sloths we were taken to look at toucans and frogs. This incredible experience will always be remembered by me, and I highly reccomend it to anyone looking for a fun family friendly activity.

Great Tour! - Our 2 tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. We drove to 3 different places where they knew these sloths would be at, so we saw 3 sloths. Each of us were given binoculars. He sets up his spotting scope for you to see them up close, and then lets you put your camera on it to take these up-close photos. At the end, we went to a beautiful restaurant for non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. Our snacks were a black bean cheese empanada and fruit. On the walk there, he spotted another sloth for us, but couldn't set up the scope, as it started pouring.

Tour around the town to find sloths in the wild + delicious breakfast - We chose to book this tour as we didn't want to visit sloths in a park. Parks are too similar to zoos - we can do that at home! and there is always the worry that the sloths are brought in to generate revenue. Our tour was a minibus with Ernesto as our very knowledgeable & friendly guide. An early pick up at our hotel at 06:00 on a beautiful sunny morning. We drove very short distances around the town to areas and trees the sloths are known to visit and we saw 5 or 6. Some were high up, or hard to see because of the sun, but we had a great view of others, and Ernesto's scope made them even clearer. He had binoculars for everyone too, and kindly also took photos with everyone's phone through the scope. Towards the end of the tour we also drove through a typical Costa Rican farm which was interesting to see, and saw a caiman too The tour finished with breakfast, although several of our group opted not to enjoy that. The 3 of us that did had a great breakfast of pancakes or eggs to our liking, with time to talk with each other and Ernesto. All in, a great tour to see the area and some of its wildlife.
