Top La Fortuna Day Trips - page 3

Our Sloth Territory tour was an absolutely amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica! We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including several sloths—one of the most memorable moments was spotting a mother sloth with her baby nestled on her belly. It was truly a National Geographic-worthy sight and something our family will never forget. We also had the opportunity to observe a toucan up close and capture amazing photos and videos. There is no way we would have spotted many of these animals on our own. The high-powered telescopes used by the guides made all the difference and allowed us to see details we never would have noticed otherwise. Our guide, Jason, was outstanding. His knowledge of Costa Rica's ecology, wildlife, plants, and culture added so much depth to the experience. He was passionate, engaging, and eager to answer questions, making the tour both educational and entertaining. If you're visiting the La Fortuna area, this tour is a must-do. The combination of incredible wildlife sightings, expert guiding, and a deeper appreciation for Costa Rica's unique ecosystem made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Mau, our tour guide and Miner our driver were outstanding. On time, very knowledgeable about everything we were seeing and doing. It rained the whole time yet didn’t both us (or them) a bit. We saw many animals and even stopped roadside to catch a sloth in action. The highlight of the trip was actually the lunch portion at the family ranch. Everything was warm, welcome and delicious. We had a group of 10 from age 5 to 75. All was perfect.

This was one of the best days! Val was our guide and she was AMAZING! We visited during rainy season and so we prepared for the rain and planned on making it the best day regardless of weather. While it did rain some in the morning, it cleared up and had the best time. Bring a rain coat or poncho! Each location has a nice bathroom. We started the day on volcano hike and learned all about the volcano. Then we ventured to the waterfall, both driver Alberto & Val were always trying to find birds or animals on the drive for us to see. We stopped before the waterfall and saw a beautiful hawk & toucan. The waterfall was beautiful but due to all the ran, it was too rough therefore we couldn't get in for a swim. We did prepare with water shoes. We brought a small water resistant back pack. I would highly recommend this but put your passports in plastic bag or protest them! We did not and ours did get a little damp. We brought a change of clothes in case we did swim, we wore our swim suits under hiking clothes. Lots of steps down to the waterfall and back up. We had a group for the first two excursions and then the family left as they did not book the full day. It was just myself and my wife for the rest of the day. Val took us to lunch, it was THE BEST lunch at Casa Luna! The food was soooo good. The weather cleared up, we really enjoyed this time. Then we all ventured off to the Hanging bridges. Again Val stopped because the Volcano cleared for the best pics and she also spotted a sloth! Hiked all through the rainforest, saw many more animals, monkeys...etc. We brought natural bug spray but didn't need it, however be prepared just in case. The hanging bridges were fun too! Highly recommend this tour when visiting La Fortuna . We cannot wait to visit again!
