Excellent Company
We used CA Tours for our vacation to Playa Flamingo. We stayed 10 days at the Magaritaville resort. We booked 3 fishing trips. A 4 wheeler and zip line trip. Lazy Lizard catamaran and sunset tour. A a trip to an animal rescue and rain forest trip. We were greeted at the airport for pick up. Our driver Steven was so helpful on all of excursions. What a greeting with signs with our names on it. Pickup and drop off for all of excursions. Food and drinks were included on every excursion and they bent over backward to make us feel welcomed. You want to take all the worry out of planning a vacation you need CA Tours! Communication was excellent. Everyone we were with were bilingual so not being able to speak Spanish wasn’t any issue for us. We would recommend this great company and its incredible staff of professionals.

Amazing , good value for the price
The Llanos de Cortez Waterfall was beautiful to visit and wade or swim and beautiful pictures , and the visit to the Las Puma rescue center was interesting and see the rescue animals and birds , and the last stop was the Hummingbird cafe to view sloths and birds ,frogs , tropical flowers , and experience trails through the jungle.. my guide took my pictures for me with my phone thru his lens, and a delicious lunch after included .. I enjoyed every place we toured and lots of beautiful pictures

It is a long day,...
It is a long day, approximately 10 1/2 hours with the travel time. Delivered as expected. Saw both climates of Costa Rica and lots of animals; sloths, pumas, toucans, and tree frogs to name a few.

Great day out
Seeing the sloths and unusual species. Some amazing photos on my camera. Not my phone. Howler monkeys, how much noise. Capuchin monkeys. Great guide. And a lovely meal in middle of the day. Would recommend this trip to all.

Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Hermosa.
How much does Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter cost?
+
Prices start at $198 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Hermosa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Playa Hermosa is not rushed.
Is Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Hermosa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter?
+
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 Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter?
+
Around 2 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 Playa Hermosa 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 Playa Hermosa and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter 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 Playa Hermosa 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 Playa Hermosa?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa Hermosa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day, White Water River Rafting Class III-IV from La Fortuna-Arenal, Guachipelin Zipline, River Tubing, Horseback Ride, Hot springs & Lunch Combo. 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 Playa Hermosa?
+
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 Playa Hermosa?
+
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.
What is included in Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter?
+
Included: Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratitudes to guide and driver. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 21 listed pickup locations in and around Playa Hermosa. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Sloth tour and Wildlife Encounter if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Playa Hermosa. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
