EXCELLENT Based on 727 reviews Posted on Liliya LitvakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing tour with David. It was a highlight of our trip for sure. We saw multiple sloths and other animals. The cooking class was a cherry on top. Delicious. Thank you so much!!!Posted on Adam GeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came here on our first day in the Arenal area and were drawn by the combination of seeing wildlife sloths etc and the addition of a little food. This tour was fantastic. We saw four sloths including a close up of a mother and a baby. Our tour guide Jemmy (Jamie) was knowledgeable and engaging with a National Geographic photographer’s eye and skill. The tortilla and sugar cane juice lunch was a wonderful cap to this experience. It earns its five star rating!! Check it out.Posted on Lena BerenshteynTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience all around.

This was a great night hike, we got to see plenty wildlife and the guide made sure we got detailed info in all animals we saw. We visited as a family with small children (4 and 9) and they had a great time as well. David our host and guide was knowledgeable and took his time into really showing us a great variety of species. Will definitely come back when back in La FortunaPosted on Jana WeaverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fabulous tour with Jamie! She was very knowledgeable about all the birds, animals, and plants and was excellent with her spotting scope, helping us get great photos and videos of sloths, a porcupine, and many great birds. The cane juice and tortillas at the end were just an added bonus!!Posted on Ashley GarciaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. De verdad la mejor experiencia de ver animales en su propia tierra! David era nuestro guía y nos enseñó las nombres en inglés y en español! Tuvimos bastante suerte en ver 6 perezosos viéndola durmiendo, comiendo, y subiendo y cambiando árboles. Era increíble! También vimos puercoespín que era muy lindo y serpientes y la famosa rana con ojos rojos. También vimos un tucán, varios pájaros, y caimanes! También nos dieron un snack que era riquísimo y vegetariano hecho por la dueña y su hijo! David nos explicaron que coman los anímales y como viven de verdad fue impresionante!Posted on Heike RahmsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Auf diese Tour hatte ich mich besonders gefreut und die Erwartungen wurden voll erfüllt. "König" David zeigte uns mit voller Begeisterung mehrere Faultiere. Sie sind so gut an die Natur angepasst, dass er streckenweise richtig suchen musste. Dacid vermittelte uns viel Wissen zu diesen und anderen Tieren sowie Pflanzen. Mit ihm zusammen presste wir auch aus Zuckerrohr Saft. Ich glaube, jeder aus der Gruppe war am Ende genauso begeistert wie wir. Zum Ende hin gab es einpaar Fragen und einen 1. Preis für denjenigen, der alles beantworten konnte. Der Abschluss war dann ein kleines gemeinsames Essen, bei dem wir mithalfen. Alles in allem eine sehr schöne Tour, die man absolut weiterempfehlen kann.
