Lucky private tour in rainy season
This is a 1 hour 45 minutes tour on this private property. We had the luck to be the only ones coming on this wet season date - so this was technically a private tour for us on our honeymoon. Our guide Enrice was really talented in spotting the wild creatures, we saw sloths a lot of birds a boa constrictor snake and some posion dart frogs. While rain was heavily pouring on us we stopped for a while in a shelter and while waiting he provided us information about poisonous snakes and how avoid/prevent a bite and what to do if the worst happens. Thanks for everything, we enjoyed this experience even in the rain.

Great tour
Excellent tour, the guide was super knowledgeable and we saw birds, sloths, iguanas, snakes, frogs, bats and ants. So worth doing the tour with a guide as he pointed out the animals and focused the telescope so we could see them up close.

Sloth and Jungle Tour
I love our tour despite the intense rain! We were able to see frogs, many birds four sloths, an amadillo, so many fun things! We definitely would not have spied all of these things without our tour guys so that was invaluable!

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bogarin Trail Sloth Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Bogarin Trail Sloth Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Bogarin Trail Sloth Guided 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 Bogarin Trail Sloth Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 374 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 Bogarin Trail Sloth Guided 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 Bogarin Trail Sloth Guided 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 Bogarin Trail Sloth Guided Tour?
+
Around 131 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 Bogarin Trail Sloth Guided 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.
