Family adventure holiday to Costa Rica. Sloth Tour - We went on this sloth tour with Aaron and our driver Nacho who were friendly and enthusiastic. Their ability at spotting sloths was unbelievable. They gave us binoculars to observe them and then showed us these amazing creatures through a telescopic sight. Their knowledge was outstanding and fascinating. We learned so much about these incredible animals and were able to observe them in their natural habitat. We loved every minute of the tour and know it was made extra special by our attentive guides. After seeing 7 different sloths ( including one sloth with her baby) in different locations we travelled to an eco lodge and had a local Costa Rican snack. Whilst there we were able to observe the local bird life. Would highly recommend this tour and hope you get to see as much as we did.

Amazing sloth walking tour with a brilliant guide - We had a brilliant sloth tour with our lovely guide Karina. It was such an enjoyable afternoon, Karina was so knowledgeable, interesting and enthusiastic (her English was perfect) - not only did we see four sloths, which was amazing, but suddenly two armadillos appeared, what a joy to see them too! Karina was also so helpful giving us some ideas of places to visit in the La Fortuna area. Highly recommend this tour.

A Great Family Experience - An amazing excursion. Group was small (us and another family). Our guides, Gustavo and Andres, were amazing. We saw so much wildlife and had a great time all around. They made sure everyone was able to see the wildlife and took time to adjust spotting scopes for the kids height, as well as take perfect pictures/videos. Highly recommend!

Fantastic last minute booking! Highly recommend. - My son and I were staying near La Fortuna and I found this tour online - I booked online and also asked if we could have a hotel pick up. The response was incredibly quick and everything was arranged. We saw 5 sloths, howler monkeys and lots of birds (including green macaws). I would highly recommend this tour.

A wonderful sloth experience - A brilliant tour with a great driver and guide, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the sloths and other wildlife. We were lucky enough to see and ant eater and both two and three toed sloths. We had been lent binoculars and our guide was great at setting up his scope so we could see the sloths in great detail. He gave us plenty of time to look and helped us take really good photos. Finished up with a lovely breakfast.

Sloths in their Natural habitat - You might only see a few sloths (as you are not seeing them in captivity-which is great to us!) and mostly from binoculars. Our tour guide Arón was very informative and friendly! If you’re expecting to get more up close and personal with sloths this tour is not for you. The snack at the end was fruit and something similar to a Sope…nice little treat.
