EXCELLENT Based on 1872 reviews Pete AlveyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alex was a great guide we saw toucans, 5 sloths one with a baby, poison dart and red eyed green tree frog, viper, black and white owl plus loads of other stuff. Fantastic highly recommend. Kevin ScannellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are looking for sloths, look no further. We signed up for the guided tour. $45 each. The guide, Daniel, was great. Within a minute we were looking at our first sloth. You may think, " why should I pay extra for a guide?". In addition to being very good at locating the sloths, who are pretty hard to spot, Daniel led us to many other animals and gave us plenty of information. In our two hour tour we saw no less than 5 sloths (1 with a baby), an owl, three ⁰frogs (2 poisonous) and a number of interesting birds. After the tour, we were given some delicious pineapple in the lounge. For us, though, the real value was that our admission allowed us to return later in the day and the whole of the following day. We took full advantage and came back three more times for self guided walks along the approximately 2 Km of wooded trails. Pay attention to where the sloths are on your tour because they will likely be in the same areas when you return and you can take your time observing them. If you are staying in or near the town center of La Fortuna, you can walk here quite easily. The guides also provide a magnified viewing scope for the tour group to take turns looking through or to take photos with your phone but I highly recommend binoculars if you have them. Ron KarmyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geovany Bogarin took us to the wonderful, misterious world of the jungle. For two hours, we were hipnotised by animals, birds and another citizens of the jungle. Bogarin is the founder of this paradise and we won the opportunity to be guided by him and found many animals in their habitat. We heard fascinating stories from Giovanni about the establishment of this wonderful place. Highly recommended!!! B MolinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

EXCELLENT Based on 1109 reviews joaniebinedinburghVerified Neat trail within walking distance of the centre. We did a self guided tour as we wanted a relaxed day. However we still managed to see a sloth due to seeing where the groups went and second time by ourselves.It is a relatively short walk from the centre- we walked ourselves from our central hotel. The route itself we covered in about an hour taking it slowly but went back after a nice break at the cafe - I highly recommend the iced coffee, it’s very similar to an iced Frappuccino - and got a great view of the sloth. loafin0118Verified Great tour Great tour. We would not have seen the sloths (or owls, frogs, etc) without a guide. Denis the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Mix of English and Spanish speakers which he managed well ILENYA AVerified Sloths sloths sloths You can have amazing places but your guide does all the difference to the experience. We had an amazing tour with Alex. We highly recommend to ask for him. We were so lucky having Alex spotting sloths (they hide so well but when you see them they melt your heart), he spotted a yellow Tucano and all biodiversity that he was able to find. He is super good in capture spots for amazing pictures. Passionate and super engaged. The story of the park itself is amazing. It is worth a visit! Thank you, Alex for a visit we will never forget. M ShahVerified Great experience! Do the guided tour. It's worth the extra money as it's very difficult for the untrained eye to spot a sloth. We were fortunate to see 5 adult sloths (both three and two-toed). Two of them had babies which we could see. Our guide, Randal was very friendly and informative about the biology of sloths, the park and conservation efforts that they do. There are also a lot of interesting lizard and bird species available to see. Afterwards, you are given fresh pineapple as a refreshment. Another bonus for those that do the guided tour; you can come back the next day and do a self-guided walk in the park for free! We definitely did this the next morning before leaving for our next destination. Jen L.Verified Amazing experience! Great guide, saw lots of wildlife including sloths!!! My husband and I recently visited Bogarin Trail and it was a wonderful experience! We did a guided tour which I highly recommend. Yes, you can walk the trails yourself but the guide was soooo worth it. Randal (our guide) was awesome and shared so much information! He knew what animals to watch for and where. We definitely wouldn't have seen nearly as much if we were on our own. We saw multiple sloths, lizards, birds, frogs, etc and he even took pictures for us through his scope. We loved that you could return to the trails on another day with your wristband and go in for free. We did that the following day and enjoyed finding a sloth as well as seeing other wildlife. Definitely recommend that you visit and use a guide! It's a beautiful area and it was amazing seeing the sloths!! Lisa CVerified Saw 8 sloths! My goal here was to see a sloth - and I lucked out and saw 8! I never would have spotted one without a guide. Also being able to look through his telescope allowed me to see them up close. There are a lot of beautiful birds at the entry eating fresh fruits from the trees. We saw some lizards, leaf cutter ants, a black & white owl, and a red toucan as well. The trail is mostly shaded, flat, and easy to walk. Even though it is located close to town, it feels like you are in the middle of the rain forest. Bogarin limits their group sizes to 8. There were only 4 of us in my group so it felt like a private tour. They also have a nice cafe and served the best pineapple after our tour. Angie GVerified William is the Best Tour Guide - Sloth Daddy! William is an incredibly knowledgeable and fun tour guide. He has a deep passion for the outdoors and landscapes of Costa Rica. It was lovely learning more about the animals, ecosystem, and incredibly unique wildlife in Costa Rica from William. He can find a sloth better than I can find a date! A. O.Verified Recommend a guided tour! Had an amazing experience with Denis! He spotted so many animals and frogs we wanted to see! We saw many sloths, owls, birds, frogs etc. Definitely recommend to do a guided tour. Very informative and we wouldn't have spotted the most of the animals and frogs without our guide Denis. 10/10! Michael WVerified Thank you, Dennis Our guide was Dennis - he was extremely well informed, very helpful and friendly, his English was outstanding and explained everything very carefully and helped the group with taking photographs. He made our experience to be a real pleasure. Big thanks to Dennis and the whole organisation of the two hour tour – it was wonderful.
The best Sloth & Bird Watching trail in La Fortuna.
