Memorable day - Everything was absolutely perfect. From the trip to the different sites, we spent a memorable day with the sloths, in the Costa Rican jungle. Visiting the chocolate plantation was our favorite. Everyone we met was extremely welcoming. And of course special Rating to our superb Guide Guillermo who made us visit and appreciate his country. Thank you costour, Kevin, Memo and Anouk for their welcome and the organization of this day. We'll be back!

fun and memorable - Our guides, Memo and David were amazing! They were so friendly and accommodating. Our group was small which made moving to the different locations much faster. Getting to be up close and personal with the sloths was such a joy and lunch was delicious. Overall it was a great day and we had a wonderful time. We definitely recommend this tour. Pura Vida!

Dream Fulfilled - I thought I'd done a review, but apparently not. This was an excellent way to experience the countryside, the flora, the fauna. The two main residents I wanted to see were red dart frogs and sloths. Saw plenty of both. It was an amazing day. Our driver and tour guides were very knowledgeable. Spending the day outdoors, looking upwards in the trees for the camouflaged sloths was a fun game. We went to two different areas- one was established for sloth viewing and second one was just starting out with banana trees. At the second one we saw a mama and baby, a lone male, and a young one about 6 months old climbing thru the banana leaves. My heart was full.

Ladies Trip of 6 for sunshine & sloths - What an absolutely fantastic experience. Our driver/guide was professional, timeliness was on point and we got to see SLOTHS!!! The nature tour was incredible, saw so many beautiful animals. The lunch was great, and suitable for a celiac friend we had with us! The swim was an unexpected highlight and all the things we did felt private and not swamped with tourists. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Come Prepared - Come prepared to endure a nearly 2hr private bus ride, hike to the rio Celeste, and through the rainforest to see sloths, toucans, frogs, etc. when I say “prepared” I mean it… I wish we would have worn long pants, long sleeves, and more comfortable closed toe walking shoes. There were A LOT of bugs and possible snakes which we didn’t fully appreciate until it was too late. Despite using bug spray, we are covered in bites. Still, really nice time seeing all the animals, just a really long drive and a little too much nature for the outfits we prepared. Our driver was also the best. Thanks Alberto!
