Sloth tour with the family - The tour was amazing. We got to see many different animals and many sloths. The guides were very friendly and worked together to share good finds and spots to see the sloths. We had three kids with us and they were very accommodating to help them see all the animals.

An incredible experience - Our family of 5 did an early evening tour with Johnny today and it was amazing. Johnny was the most knowledgeable, enthusiastic and professional guide I have encountered but his true skill lay in his determination to ensure we all had the best photos and videos. He put phones up to his telescope to capture closeups that were unreal. He spotted movement in the undergrowth and helped get unbelievable photos. An excellent experience with a very talented guide.

Great family tour - They delivered on the sloth views. Also saw some poison dart frogs. Guide has a spotting scope and a laser pointer that helps a lot. He’s also able to hold your phone up to the scope for some great shots to take home.
