We loved this tour. It was intimate and not overwhelming. We saw several sloths, both 2 and 3-toed, 2 vipers, blue jean frogs and red eye frogs. Our guide was so wonderful and knowledgeable. He took his time and answered all of our questions. Definitely recommend this tour!

Fantastico!

Kat_S, Feb 2026

Absolutely wonderful experience. Easy to find, most affordable guided tour we did the whole trip, all employees were friendly and helpful. They told each other on radios when they saw animals like toucans, humming birds, snakes etc so they could bring their groups by also. The highlight was watching a sloth climb all the way down and back up the tree for us! He was just a few steps away! We definitely suggest this tour!

Wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful time hanging out with our fabulous guides. We saw sloths, and an anteater climbing a tree. So much fun

Must Go Tour!

What a wonderful tour! Daniel was our guide. He did such a good job of showing us different wildlife and best of all the sloths and butterflies. The trails were easy to walk and beautifully maintained, along with rain covers to stand under when it rained. Highly recommend!

Great Tour

100% worth it!

We drove 3 hours to try and see sloths, and were very worried we wouldn’t get to see any. This tour had good reviews so we tried it, and it didn’t disappoint at all. The guide was amazing, had so much knowledge and within the first minute of the tour we saw sloths. Ended up seeing 6 total. Plus tucans, frogs, many other birds and great views. Couldn’t recommend this more. Was also given drinks and snacks at the end. The guide has a telescope that allows you to see the animals closely and he also uses your phone to capture great pictures through the telescope. Great experience.
