Amazing experience!! - Our guide was Aviana and she was amazing!! So knowledgeable and friendly. We saw at least 7 sloths! She took the time to take photos for everyone with our iPhones looking through the scope lens and the videos/pics look awesome! This was better than expected and I highly recommend. Request Aviana!

Great Sloth watching tour! - Our guide Ruben was very knowledgeable and fun. He was a great guide, lots of funny jokes and he attended to the audience. He went to extra mile to teach us and show us new things. He was also great at spotting sloths and lining up the scope for us to see and to get great photos and videos. We had a great experience. It was a little tricky to find the location but we did. You may want to allow extra time to get there as it is about 10 minutes outside of La Fortuna.

So much to see with a great guide! - Our guide, Jason, was an ambassador for wildlife conservation. He was very knowledgeable about the area and seemed to know just where to look! While on this easy hike, we saw several bird species and five sloths, one was a mom with a baby. We learned the difference in 2-toed vs. 3-toed sloths and their habitats.

Amazing Natural Sloth Viewing - Came to this park with another guide but loved the facility. The park is natural and wild feeling - with plenty of room for the animals to move around. The rules are simple - to respect the park and the animals - and then you have a great time. The staff mark sightings each day (according to our guide) so it makes it easier to find the sloths. At one of the flags we could not find the sloth but slowly, and quietly moving along the paths and I spotted the sloth and we were able to watch for about 15mins as the sloth moved across the trees into a new sleeping position.

Definitely Book! - Our tour was absolutely amazing! I forgot our guide’s name but he had a tattoo of a sloth on his leg. He took amazing pictures and videos for us through his telescope and his passion was infectious!

We walked along paths... - We walked along paths both paved and unpaved and across a few suspended bridges. We saw sloths of several ages and species. We got to see some moving and several babies too. Got the best pictures and videos. Reuben was a fantastic guide.

Tour was a little slow... - Tour was a little slow and very hot/humid there. Jason was a little hard to understand his English. Otherwise, I was happy to view the sloths. We saw 5 while there (including a baby). I do recommend checking out the coffee shop there, it was delicious.

Sloth Watching Experience - You get to see multiple sloths, we even saw a baby sloth, although that's not guaranteed. It's a fairly easy walk the whole time. The fruit snack at the end was just a few watermelon slices.
