What Our Guests Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 613 reviews Posted on Petr STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent! We totally enjoyed the time spent there. At first I was sceptic about going into parks like this to see sloths. I though we will easily see them on our 3 weeks journey somewhere. But we tried this and it made me realize that without scopes and their experience we could hardly find one. David was awesome guide, we appreciate the time and informations he shared.Posted on SandraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with our tour guide Davide.very helpful and knowledgeable! We got to see a lot of different frogs and a sloth with a baby, a Striped Owl and a lot more. It is very organised and important to know that it is private property and not in the “wilderness” where you see the wild animals, even though the animals are not in captivity, it does feel like you are entering a botanical garden to watch wild animals.Posted on Megan SaulTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this tour!! Jamie was so friendly and knowledgeable and found some incredible creatures. I learned a lot about sloths, dart frogs, bats, and all sorts of birds. The paths are very well maintained. The tortilla making and cane water at the end was a treat. I would do again!Posted on Meredith LoudenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A must!! Did a tour on my birthday and had the best time. David was our guide and we had a phenomenal experience, one of the highlights of our whole week in Costa Rica. He also helped us take amazing photos and videos through the telescope of the sloths. We did the “Twilight” Tour option where we went around ~4pm and saw sloths and daytime frogs and other creatures. Then we made tortillas while it got dark and then had an amazing time seeing the nocturnal wildlife!! Got lucky and saw the terciopelo snake 🐍 Beautiful nature reserve. Loved everything about it!Posted on Frederik CaenepeelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a lovely tour with Jamie. Despite the rain we still were able to see a lot of sloths and other animals. The sugarcane juice and tortilla making were a wholesome add onPosted on Jesal DaveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David was an incredible tour guide- he was extremely knowledgable, open to questions. friendly, warm, funny and spoke both English and Spanish. The tour was super fun and insightful, we selected the 8am guided nature walk and were able to see sloths, frogs, lizards, iguanas, herons and more. The owner walks around his land every morning to spot animals and update his guides on what he saw and where he saw them so us visitors have the best experience which I found was extremely thoughtful. The tour ended with some delicious sugar cane juice and we got to make our own tortillas, which felt very authentic. It’s a small family owned business and is competitively priced compared to many other tours we’d researched.Posted on Sonia LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An extremely beautiful little spot, Sergio was excellent and we saw a few different sloths, as well as frogs and birds and a porcupine! It was a nice bonus to also try the sugar can juice and to make and eat tortillaPosted on AndreasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. schöner Garten, gepflegte Wege, nette Guides die einem Tiere zeigen und Tipps geben. Für ein paar Stunden spazieren gehen und Tiere beobachten richtig gut. Durch die vielen großen Pflanzen und deren Blätter schattig und angenehm. 17 $ p.P. nicht gerade günstig, sind es aber allemal wert.Posted on Elizabeth HollowayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jamie is the best! Great experience
