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.

      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.

      Not worth your money.

      Jenni_s, Mar 2026
      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.

      Benjamin_A, Mar 2026
      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.

      Great sloth and wildlife tour right in La Fortuna town!

      Mary_D, Mar 2026
      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.

      Great tour

      Brandon_B, Feb 2026
      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!

      Sloths in their natural habitat

      Colleen_K, Jan 2026
      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

      Nature is just pura vida

      CLARICE_M, Jan 2026
      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 1 hr tour sloth

      Charles_D, Jan 2026
      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...

      Yuhong_Z, Dec 2025
      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!

      Fantastic tour

      Must try!

      Macquincy_S, Dec 2025
      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.

      Sloth up close

      Junqi_L, Dec 2025
      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!

      100% Legit. Book this tour.

      Tony_B, Nov 2025
      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.

      Outstanding experience!

      Ron_S, Oct 2025
      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.

      Don’t think twice!

      Susan_J, Oct 2025
      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 Time Rocks

      Joe_B, Oct 2025
      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...

      Jaspreet_B, Oct 2025
      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.

      Amazing Experience

      Yingke_Y, Oct 2025
      Amazing experience, we saw so many different animals and many sloths, the telescope was heavily used and we got awesome pictures through the telescope. Our guide was knowledgeable and kept sharing knowledge about rain forest and we learned so much about it

      Great experience!

      Cassie_L, Sep 2025
      This experience was Incredible. Our tour guides name was Issac and he was so amazing! He taught us a lot about the land, plants and trees that are 200 years old. The experience was amazing! Big spray and hiking boots recommend!

      MUST SEE when in La Fortuna!

      Milly_K, Sep 2025
      My mum and I were very grateful to Isaac for allowing us to reschedule our tour after a late flight! We were even more grateful of how wonderful the tour was. This, in our opinion, is a MUST do whilst here in La Fortuna. Not only did we see an abundance of Sloth and Monkeys, we were inundated by wonderful animals from humming birds to frogs and everything inbetween. Isaac went above and beyond for us and even helped us take photos through his telescope! The tour was wonderful, and at the end we even were able to try some fruits that were from the land here! Thank you again Isaac. We have learned so much on this one tour, and will happily recommend you to everybody!

      Sloths and more sloths!

      christina_r, Sep 2025
      Lots of sloths in the trees and monkeys, enjoyed it. They provide a telescope for you to see the animals also. Guide very friendly and informative

      Excellent and Fun!!

      Cinthia_M, Sep 2025
      I enjoyed every minute of it. Was sad to learn one of the South's had been killed by a snake. Circle of life.

      Anna_H, Aug 2025
