Great sloth tour - Our guide was Neigryn. He showed us 6 sloths, both two toed and three toed. Some were hard to see from the ground without his scope, but others were easily seen and photographed from the ground. He also found a poison dart frog and many other animals. He was very informative and a great guide. It was a great tour. Definitely recommend it.

10/10 - Johnny was an amazing tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and spoke really good English. If you decide to go on this tour, ask for Johnny! You wont regret it. Not only is he a wealth of information and good at spotting the sloths, but we learned so much about the reptiles, birds and plants that we saw on this tour as well. He even helped us take some awesome photos with our phones through his scope. Highly recommend.
