Must do in Fortuna - This is a must do if you are in the area. You would be wise to choose this location over other places listed as “sloth park” or “sloth sightings”. These people really care about the sloths and the environment. Great 1 hr 45 min walk through jungle area with max of 10 people. Our guide Ruben (?sp) was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining as well. The walk is beautiful and during our time there we saw 6 adult sloths (2 with babies) during the short walk. We watched one mother and baby eat leaves together for quite a while. Other guided tours were priced higher and I doubt they were as good. Highly recommend!

A pleasant experience ideal for travellers who struggle to find sloths in the wild - Tour guide was very nice and great at spotting and talking about the sloths. We saw at least 5 sloths and a few frogs, and could take great photos using the scope

Wonderful, even in the rain! - We did the tour in early January 2025 as a family of 3 with 2 adults and an 8 year old. Our guide, David M, was excellent! Our group was mixed Spanish and English speakers so David diligently and kindly explained everything in two languages during our aprox. 2 hour tour. We saw at least 7 sloths (both 2 and 3 toed including 2 mamas with their pups). We saw a snake, a leaf-nosed bat, and many gorgeous birds including Great Curassow. Some parts of the tour were a bit muddy so definitely follow the recommendation for closed-toed shoes! Even though we toured during high-season the trail/area did not feel crowded at all and there was plenty of time for each of us in our group of 11 to look through the scope and get cell phone videos/photos. Absolutely worth the price and highly recommend it!

Our very favorite nature life tour. - Our favorite nature life tour. We saw so many sloths and the guide was great. Our experience was better than the guides at Manuel Antonio, and Mistico Bridges. My pics of the two toe sloths are amazing. I would definitely book this again.

Nice late morning seeing sloths and other animals in a natural setting - We arrived a bit late but they walked us to join the guide and he was very friendly and ensured everyone could see the sloths and some other animals including bats and tree snakes

Great tour for sloth sighting - Saw many different sloths including mommy’s and their babies. Even saw their faces which apparently isn't always the case when you actually do see them!

A decent tour - This tour was good. Guide was very knowledgable. We got to see quite a few sloths, toucans and other birds as well. This was about a 90 minute walk- my kids are in their 20s but if I had little ones I may skip it if they get antsy as there’s a lot of talking, Walking and learning
