Brilliant day and tour. Saw lots of wildlife and we thoroughly enjoyed all of the knowledge of the guides. Food was excellent at lunch and transport was comfortable. One of our favourite days on our holiday.

Absolutely loved this tour, was a bit worried as I’m not the fittest and it said not suitable for those with reduced mobility but it was absolutely fine; a few hilly bits but all spread out so it wasn’t too taxing. Loved the sloth walk, saw lots of them, as well as birds and frogs. Waterfall swim was great too and the cocoa plantation was interesting. Probably could have lived without the tree planting or at least the walk that went with it. Lunch was lovely.

Super trip, around 3 hrs travelling time each way but so worth it. Great guide at the sloth/wildlife centre. So informative, found sloths, various frogs and birds and snakes. Lunch was good. Cultural tour interactive and informative with a small shop at the end to buy cocoa products. Bus driver spotted much wildlife during our drive, toucans, howler monkeys and various smaller birds. Gave us photo opportunities too.

Getting to a see a mother sloth ?? with her baby ?? in it's natural environment was amazing. Also our guide was able to call a poison dart frog ?? by playing the sound of another male from his phone. Lunch was decent and seeing how the chocolate is grown and harvested was very educational. Be warned if you wish to purchase anything from the shop, bring plenty of cash or a card! All in all a great day out.

There was very little walking and each experience was too short. I'm also not keen on always ending tours at a gift shop! Apart from that though, it was lovely from the point of view of seeing wildlife pointed out by guides who knew where to find it and who were really informative. We were invited to name and plant a tree at one point and that has left us with a new set of worries wondering how Trevor the Tree is doing!

Not quite the day described. The walk was in a very small area just off the road and was around 4”mins. The waterfall swim was great as was lunch. The guide was good and attentive. More of 3/4 day - mostly travelling and not great value for the price

The tour guide and driver were so friendly and very informative. They gave us a thorough overview of what the day entailed and how long each activity would last. They taught us about the geography of the island and were very informative about each place we drove through. The rainforest tour guide was excellent at spotting different animals, allowing us to take photos and teaching us all about them. The food, snacks and coffee was excellent. Really impressed, we had a great time!

A lot of driving to pick up and return guide. A small map would have been useful. The swim was good though the jungle walk was a little ‘manufactured’ rather than natural.

Driver and the guide weee superb, vehicle comfortable and air con welcomed. The trip description by TUI is a miss sell unfortunately, the hike in the jungle is actually a stroll in a garden. We only saw 3 sloths from quite a distance and 1 frog and that was as far as the wildlife went. The waterfall certainly wasn’t thundering but was still pleasant.

Everything happened on time our driver was warm & welcoming. The guide was friendly & knowledgeable. The guide we had in the rainforest was brilliant. We wouldn't have seen half the animals we'd seen without him. Lunch was really nice & fresh. At the waterfall we had fresh fruit & drinks. Everyone was so friendly.

We have done this tour before and enjoyed lunch by the river and the itinerary stated it would be by the river again but this was not the case. Also didn’t really see the point of the waterfall visit

This trip being our first we had nothing to compare it with. Whilst enjoyable and very informative it prove to be a very long way and day to see three Sloths. The guided Jungle experience proved only to be probably less than 400 metres in total. The majority of the time with the guide was taken up looking at the three Sloths (two in one tree and the other in an adjacent tree) not much time was taken looking for any further Sloths or other Creatures. The best part of the Waterfall was Kayaking. Subsequently learnt would have been better to book the Tenorio Volcano Park Trek for Sloth and other wild life.

The guides were great, very informative. Waterfall swim kayaking good. However, the title and description of the excursion is misleading. SLOTH ADVENTURE TOUR... searching in the jungle to spot sloths isn't what the trip entailed. We were taken to what seemed like a nature trail in private gardens. We did see one sloth and looked at other animals such as birds, frogs, monkeys. But it almost felt as if they could have been introduced to that setting. We were very disappointed as it definitely wasn't a walk in the jungle searching for sloths. It was a nice day but mis advertised and the name of tour should be changed. It was first trip I booked on app before we travelled and I was really excited for it. So overall a nice day but not what we were expecting.

The trip was amazing. From the mini van driver to the guide at the destination. The driver was relaxed and did not rush anyone.nothing was a problem. The guide led us through the rain forest and searched for creatures rather than just say that there was nothing to see and told us about what he found. 4 sloths were amazing. The stop for a very tasty lunch was also very good and again,not rushed.

Great day. Our guide was very knowledgable and lead us to see sloths in their natural habitat. He also helped us get photos and videos of them. Our driver was also very informative about the local area and climate.
