Highly recommend, the team here is passionate about what they do. - Daniel was our guide for this trip and he is very knowledgeable and cares about giving the best experience possible. We arrived very early for our reservation, but he had no problem taking us early. Right away, standing in the parking lot, we saw a Rainbow Toucan, and soon after that we saw more toucans, a couple of sloths, colorful frogs, lizards, bats and many types of birds. It’s great when the guide is just as excited about spotting the animals as we are. He also helped us get some great photos using his telescope; these are things we wouldn’t be able to do without a guide. Without him, we wouldn’t have seen most of the animals. We learned a lot from Daniel about the plant life and how the animals co-exist in the jungle. When we returned from our hike, a young woman had coffee and empanadas ready for us. I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour - We dropped in and booked a tour for later that day. The staff are lovely and very obliging. Alexander was our guide and he is engaging and made the tour very good fun. He saw howler monkeys, sloths, he enticed a poison dart frog out of its cover, snakes, and lots of birds. We were delighted with the tour and it is a nice touch to offer a coffee and snack at the end. To top it off Alexander found us a motmot just as we were about to leave and we got some beautiful photos. Thanks all pura vida!!

Great staff and lots of wildlife! - Our travel schedule got adjusted and we popped into Jungle Life earlier than expected. Alex didn’t miss a beat and jumped right in with us for an abbreviated time. Within minutes we saw a toucan, and then a monkey, and then a sloth and we barely left the parking lot!! We then saw frogs, butterflies, and several more species of birds. Alex was an amazing and super accommodating guide who truly wanted us to experience the special wildlife of the region. Highly recommend!

Great guide, great sights! - Outstanding tours, both the daytime sloth tour and the night tour. Wilton, our guide, was terrific. Very knowledgeable, amazing at spotting all the interesting things in the jungle, and great company on a rainy evening. We loved seeing sloths, lots of kinds of frogs, an eyelash viper, and more. A great experience!

Fun time seeing animals in the rain forest!!! - We had a very great time on this sloth tour. We were greeted by Kevin (Coyote) who was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Kevin pointed out great animals like sloths, frogs, butterflies, lizards, birds and more. The trail was easy to walk and well maintained, my wife is pregnant and felt very comfortable on this tour. We would highly recommend this tour, thank you!!

Don’t miss this! - Christian was amazing! Extremely knowledgable moving us around the most beautiful rain forest we had toured! Between sloths, butterflies, red eyes frogs, poisonous dart frogs and the coffee and empanadas at the end of the tour - this is a must see! The owners are wonderful hosts and should be very proud of their “little slice of heaven!”
