    Fantastic Sloth Sightings

    pam_h, Feb 2025
    This is a great way to see sloths, learn about their environment and be educated in other animals found in the rainforest while walking on a level trail. Melanie was a great guide, informative and patient.

    Amazing sloth and bird tour!

    Cory_L, Jan 2025
    This was an incredible tour.Jason was very knowledgeable about the area and spotted many sloths for us. He was extremely patient and kept finding better spots with his telescope for us to get clearer views of the sloths, and he took camera-quality photos with a phone through the telescope for us (see our attached photos). Would highly recommend. The driver Edson was also very friendly and safe.

    Very knowledge guide for a great tour

    Helen has an amazing knowledge and understanding of the local wildlife, flora and fauna. She is so passionate about her work she made the experience a truly memorable one. We were also treated to a visit to a local farm afterwards to have some delicious fruit, fruit juice and cassava. A perfect end to a wonderful morning
