The BEST tour!
We did the sloth and coffee tour on our last day in Costa Rica, and it was by far my favorite activity we did on the trip. It was small and authentic, and we saw the most amazing wildlife! The coffee tour was fascinating, and we finished the tour with coffee and homemade tortillas. Highly recommend!

So worth it!
Enjoyed this place as our tour Steve was informative and lots of fun! He started with showing us a frog that was hiding inside a big leaf. He made sure to tell us not to touch things so that we don't disturb animals in their natural habitat. Then we saw sloths in random areas of the forest, one was even pregnant. There was one of the sloths that was relaxing on a tree but after a few minutes raised its hand up and was like "ok enough pictures" lol. We saw a poisonous red frog, a baby owl, and even explained on some plants and fruits that were in the area. I loved how it was us going into the animals natural habitat and not at a zoo, taking the animal out of their own habitat. It was about 30-40 minutes long and was worth every minute!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bijagua Rain Forest Sloth Observation and Coffee Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Bijagua Rain Forest Sloth Observation and Coffee Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bijagua Rain Forest Sloth Observation and Coffee Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is Bijagua Rain Forest Sloth Observation and Coffee Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bijagua Rain Forest Sloth Observation and Coffee Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bijagua Rain Forest Sloth Observation and Coffee Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bijagua Rain Forest Sloth Observation and Coffee Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bijagua Rain Forest Sloth Observation and Coffee Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Fortuna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
