Family adventure
We got lucky and when we got picked up, it was just our family so we got a private tour. We didn’t negotiate that ahead of time. I think we just got lucky Alex our tour guide is native and local and absolutely loves Costa Rica and it shows! We went to a waterfall and then we got to check out the Celeste river where we had an amazing lunch overlooking the rainforest. We saw so many cool animals and birds, and then we ended it with a coffee and chocolate tour in the rainforest, it was a very fabulous day. We felt safe and it was really enjoyable. Spending the day with Alex who shared information about Costa Rica as we drove.

Magical Day! Highly recommend.
What a great day that we had with Alex, we were picked up at our hotel meeting spot. He was early. We had sort of a list of what we were going to do, but we weren’t sure exactly what order and It made for a really fun spontaneous day! We ended up going to a waterfall and exploring the area. We got to see howler monkeys and Alex was really interested in nature and highlighting different animals so as we were driving to our next destination, we were able to pull over and see a real three toe sloth in the wild. It was such a cool experience, then we proceeded onto the blue River, which is Celeste River in the rainforest. What a magical experience then we got to eat an authentic local Costa Rican lunch with a view of the rainforest canopy where we got to see birds flying around and trying delicious food, we ended in the rainforest with a coffee and chocolate tour, which was really interesting and tasty. If you have a full day and you wanna really dig in and see the real Costa Rica I highly recommend this tour. Alex was a really nice guy very patient and explained a lot of interesting details about Costa Roca and the culture along the way. Highly recommend.!

Amazing
Alex was an absolutely outstanding tour guide! He took us to a breathtaking waterfall, guided us through the beautiful Costa Rican rainforest, and made the entire experience unforgettable. Even with the rain, he kept the tour fun, engaging, and full of fascinating information about the local wildlife, plants, and culture. What really made the day special was that Alex took us to an amazing local lunch spot that we never would have found on our own. It was authentic, delicious, and truly made us feel like we were experiencing the real Costa Rica. Alex is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about what he does. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for a tour guide who is professional, personable, and knows all the hidden gems, I can’t recommend Alex highly enough. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip!

Great adventure and great food!
My family and I did the sloth, coffee, chocolate and tons of wild life tour on Tuesday 6/30. This tour was the perfect combination of nature, wildlife, and local culture. What truly made the day special was our tour guide, Javier. He was friendly, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable, ensuring we all had a great time while making the experience fun and engaging. Javier shared fascinating insights about the area, answered every question with a smile, and made my entire family feel welcome and included. This excursion exceeded all our expectations, and I can honestly say it wouldn't have been the same without such an exceptional guide. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Sloth tour, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Hermosa.
How much does Sloth tour, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife cost?
+
Prices start at $164 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, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife take?
+
Plan for about 7 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, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 41 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, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife?
+
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, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sloth tour, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife?
+
Around 14 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sloth tour, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife 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, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife?
+
Included: Bottled water. Not included: this tour does not include tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Sloth tour, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 23 listed pickup locations in and around Playa Hermosa. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Sloth tour, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife offered in?
+
It runs in English. 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, Coffee, Chocolate and Tons of Wildlife?
+
