Sloth tour la Fortuna - This experience was amazing! We saw both the two toed and three toed sloths in the land surrounding La Fortuna. The guide drives you around private lands to known locations where the sloths live. You see them through binoculars and a scope. The guides are very knowledgable and excellent at finding these camouflages beauties ! You have a local snack at a jungle restaurant at the end. A truly magical experience!

Not just a sloth tour. - Hymie and Paolo were great, pick up was early but that was fine we were ready to go. Very knowledgeable and great at spotting animals. We saw several sloths, a howler monkey, poison arrow frog, toucans, a roadside hawk and guan. Breakfast was great and the lodges bird activity was an added bonus. Highly recommend.

Amazing tour with awesome guides! - Javier and Andres took us on the sloth tour and they worked together so well. It was like having 2 guides helping us spot the sloths! We saw 7 sloths, both 2 toed and 3 toed. I also loved the company having passion for conservation and protection of the sloth environment. AWESOME TOUR!!

Sloths in the wild - Awesome tour, with a less touristic and more naturalistic take. We saw sloths and poison frogs in the wild, highly recommended!

Great time - We had a great time. Despite the rain that we have to wait it out. Later, we saw so many slothes which are not too far from the town. Our guides were great too. They help us spot slothes easily

Sloth tour Worth it - This was an amazing tour. Straightforward and very informative thanks to the guides. They carried binoculars and telescopes which made spotting Sloths easier. During the first hour we already had seen 5 Sloths so they knew the places to spot them. I picked the morning tour which included a delicious breakfast (out of 3 breakfast options) and I was also pleased that the kind guides spoke more than 2 languages which was very helpful. Definitely recommend it as soon as you get to Fortuna.

Sloth viewing from the road - The tour involves driving to a few different areas to view sloths, often only a few steps off the road. There is very minimal walking involved. We also stopped at a cafe in the rainforest for coffee and a snack. Our guide was informative and an expert at spotting sloths but there were periods of silence during the drive that made it feel less like a tour and more like just a taxi ride. They felt like missed opportunities. I think the price is a bit steep for what you get. We did appreciate seeing sloths which is the main purpose of this tour.
