I had a great time on the tour with Isaac! The weather was not very sloth-friendly but we still managed to see multiple sloths, as well as two kinds of dart frogs, and some really cool leaf cutter ants. Isaac was so knowledgeable and passionate about the animals he was teaching us about. He was also so friendly and explained things in a really fun manner. He also helped take pictures of the sloths through his telescope. I would recommend this tour and Isaac to anyone.

Great tour! Lots of frogs and sloths, even saw at kinkajou. Frabricizo was so patient and informative. He even made ants fun! He took wonderful photos and videos and was so great. Highly recommend
We had a really great time! Saw 2 sloths and a bunch of other animals. In a small area right by La Fortuna, so not an intense nature hike or anything like that. Our guide was great! Overall, would really recommend.
The best tour for our money in CR. Our guide did a fantastic job finding sloths, frogs, birds, and plants. He was incredibly knowledgeable and great at getting us pictures. This ended up being a private tour us. Highly recommend!!
Amazing tour, we saw two sloths, toucans, iguanas and lots of frogs! The guide was super knowledgeable and told us about many plants and animals too. Would definitely recommend!
The whole experience was amazing specially that I was able to see one sloth up close. Fabricio was an excellent guide. We saw 3 sloths, frogs, black squirrel and a few birds. But the sloths stole the show. I loved it!
Such amazing value. Tour guide Isaac is super knowledgeable and friendly. Saw 5 sloths and 5 red frogs in 1.5 hours. Also learned a lot about ants and various plants. Issacs enthusiasm is contagious.
Super friendly guide. Lots of time to watch the sloths and the telescope added to the experience. The guide was so knowledgeable and took some fantastic pictures! Would highly recommend.
Isaac was such a good Guide. He Tell US so much and helped with Pictures aswell. We saw so much sloths, some frogs and bats 👍
We walked around a short distance for~ 1 hour and saw 2 sloths, a toucan and a few poison dart frogs. Tour guide was nice but it felt like we were walking through peoples back yards. Not worth the money.
We had a fantastic tour with Isaac. We saw at least 6 sloths, and several babies. Also got to see several frogs. Highly recommend! We were the only ones with the guide, so it was our own personal tour.
Isaac was an awesome tour guide! There were only 4 of us during the 3 pm booking slot so we got a lot of 1 on 1 time to ask questions and look at wildlife. We saw multiple types of poison frogs, sloths (including a mom and baby), and even an anteater!!! It was an awesome tour but absolutely bring bug spray for this.
The tour was great and the guide was so friendly and informative. 100% worth it. We were able to spot births, sloths, and frogs.
Great experience, our tour guide knew a lot about the local flora and fauna and was very good at finding animals. We saw five sloths!!
Saw sloths different species of birds. Fabrecio was our guide and was excellent Short walk on
very beautiful property
Fabricio was an amazing tour guide!
We saw 3 different sloths in the trees including some holding babies, birds, taught us a lot about the local wildlife & plants! Gave us a better understanding of Costa Rica! Definitely would recommend, easy terrain to navigate and still get a taste of the jungle without hiking through rough terrain!
We went with the sole intent of seeing sloths. We saw the sloths and more. The guide was great. He was so passionate and knowlegeable about the creatures and their environment. Had a lot of laughs during the tour. He spotted 4 sloths for us - in the rain! We even got to see one "hustling" down the tree. Great price and great experience
Experience was good, Fabricio the young guide was very passionate about this, was funny and an happy person, above all has the knowledge of his job, the only down side was not able to really see the sloths lol they were very high up on the tree, only visible with the binocular, otherwise all the nature was walk was nice and we got to learn a lot with Fabricio.
Julian was an excellent guide. He took the time to show us sloths, 3 in total ; some rare birds, a poison dart frogs and one rare butterfly. Everything in about 1 hour. He was very friendly , keep joking with the kid and has a quick eye to find what you absolutely will miss.
Amazing tour with Issac he helped us find 3 sloths and was so passionate and informative about everything that we saw. I learned so much about the wildlife in Costa Rica and felt safe the entire time. Would 100% recommend this tour to any travelers for an amazing experience and very fair price. Pura vida!
This was such a great activity. Isaac was very knowledgable and it was apparent that he loves animals and what he does. I would definitely recommend this tour!
We saw a few wild animals including 4 sloths, especially a mommy sloth and her baby. The mother sloth carried her baby and climbed the carefully, it was very impressive. Our tour guide Issac is very knowledgeable about the wild animals, we learned a lot from him. He did a great job!

A fun experience!!! We saw 3-4 sloths that day! We saw a mama sloth and a baby sloth too! So lucky!!! The tourguide was very friendly, helpful, fun and knowledgable. The place was beautiful. Green and lush.
We saw a sloth going down the tree to pop up close, saw blue jeans frog, green frog etc. toucan, tour price is reasonable and young kid is free!
Ok, hands down the best walk we did the entire trip. Our guide, Fabrizio saw invisible animals and pointed them out to us. We saw both kinds of sloth, and within the first 10mins we saw a sloth… moving! Several types of tree frogs, lots of birds and a little capybara creature. Our guide was also knowledgeable about plants, fungi, and other flora- which was super cool. The reviews here are 100% accurate. Book these guys and you won’t be disappointed, it was the best nature walk we did our entire trip.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It amazed us how he could spot the various wildlife that was so well camouflaged and in many cases high in the trees. He took extra time to ensure we got great pics and videos of much of the wildlife we saw which are all high-quality shots with the equipment they use. It was very much an educational and learning experience we would recommend to all.
Our wildlife tour in Costa Rica was absolutely incredible! Being in the animals’ natural habitat made the experience feel so authentic and special. Our guide was phenomenal—knowledgeable, passionate, and able to spot wildlife we never would have seen on our own. We saw so many animals—monkeys, sloths, toucans, colorful frogs, and more. Every moment felt like a new discovery. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica—it’s an unforgettable experience
Miller was an awesome guide. We had 4 people in our party and combined with 3 people that live within 10 minutes of us back in the US. Crazy. We saw 9 sloths, bunch of monkeys, iguana, and Tom's more. So awesome. Highly recommend. We did Bogarin 4 years ago and that was great. This was better.
Miller is an excellent tour guide. We get to see so many slots, birds, monkeys. Miller shared interesting facts about all the species and is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour.
