Sloth Walk - Amazing experience of a lifetime and our guide (Elius) was educational, informative, and excellent! Highly recommend! We saw so many different animals including sloths and had a very close encounter with a baby sloth! This is an excursion I will never forget! Book them today! I’d rate more than five stars if I could!

Don’t miss this fabulous sloth (and so much more) adventure! - The sloth walk we took with Brandon was so much fun! We saw so many amazing animals and creatures besides the very cool sloths, and sloth moms with their babies. We saw a viper, armadillo babies, basilisks, an agouti, a black and white owl and so many other astounding creatures. Brandon was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. We saw so much more than we would have ever seen ourselves and learned so much about so many different species, and it was ridiculously fun! Can’t wait to go again some day!

Just do it, it’s worth it! - After we were unable to see sloths in person without a guide, we decided to take the tour. The price of 50 USD is quite high, but we are glad we did it.
We would never have seen the animals.
Many thanks to Alfonso for the explanations and the sighting.
We also saw owls, but even here there was no chance without knowledge.

Worth a visit! - I’m so happy we got to visit Sloth Watching Trail during our time in Costa Rica! Thanks to our awesome guide, Randall, on educating us about different types of sloths, frogs, birds, plants, etc.
We definitely took in all the nature sounds, soothing and a peaceful environment. Highly recommend! Also, don’t forget the bug spray!

Great Guides and very cute animals - The naturalists/guides are fantastic. We saw a number of sloths, one which was about 3 meters from us. We saw many beautiful birds as well. It’s a beautiful location and the walk through the forest was with the price of admission. Note: IMHO getting a guide is critical on any of the nature hikes in Costa Rica. They are amazing at finding and identifying an incredible array of animals. Some large. Some very small. Some fast. Some very SSSLOWWWW. Without the guides you’d miss 95% off what your there to see.

A nice place where sloths roam free! - There are many sloth watching tours around La Fortuna. We chose this one on a whim, and were quite happy with the result!
Our guide, Isaac, was a nice, laidback guy with a fun attitude. You could tell he enjoyed himself and his enthusiasm got us going on this especially hot day. He was very good at finding animals too! We saw two and three finger sloths, as well as birds, owls and even bats!
You wouldn't think to find a place with sloths in the heart of the city, but there they are, high up in the trees. Something that I apreciated because I had heard of places that relocate the sloths at eye level
to please the tourists, and that is not what I was looking for. I prefer to watch them in their natural habitat from afar, knowing that I am not bothering them. Luckily, our guide had the perfect lense for that, and we could see the animals really well while taking pictures through the lense scope.
There weren't that many sloths - it was a hot day and the afternoon sun was burning - but we got to see 6 of them, including a mother and her baby, and a male with his distinctive orange stripe actively climbing a tree! That's all I needed to feel content and happy.
Overall, a great place to admire nature respectfully!

Nice walk with a knowledgeable guide - Nice walk through a Rainforest. The sloths are high up on the trees, rarely move, so difficult to find and see. The guide was very knowledgeable and with his binoculars we were able to see a few
