What you'll see and do
La Fortuna de San Carlos
We can guarantee the tranquility to enjoy the sweetness of this smiley animal in uncrowded trails that let you take the time to get the best photos you may imagine. As a responsible company committed with protection of nature, the sweet sloths are not manipulated by people and may be hiding among vegetation or near by the ground, did you know they only come down from trees when they poop? Well, in any of these cases our private guides are always prepared with the best spotting scopes to admire them the most while explaining a lot of interesting information to share with you.

What a great way to experience La Fortuna with Arenal Private Tours!
What a wonderful way to experience La Fortuna with Victor’s Arenal private tours. We had a great time on the Hanging Bridges, Volcano Hike, Waterfall, Coffee & Chocolate Tour and Sloth tour. Both Victor and Christopher are so knowledgeable and would always be able to answer any questions we had. They take great care of you and we highly recommend supporting this local business for a special way to experience La Fortuna! We can’t wait to come back. Thank you Victor and Christopher 🌋🦥☕️

Outstanding experience
My husband and I had Victor as our guide for 3 excursions: hanging bridges hike, sunrise hike and arenal hike. I can't say enough about both Victor as a person and his expertise as a guide. He is so knowledgeable about plants, animals, birds and nature in general. It was amazing how he noticed found nature by listening and smelling so we saw so many things on each hike. He also shared fascinating information from his huge depth of knowledge. As a person he is warm and empathetic - always ensuring that the hike fits his clients. He gave us choices along the way to make sure we had the best experience. I would recommend him to anyone and I'm only disappointed he won't be with us for the rest of our trip.
Response from the operator: thanks for all carol , pura vida amigos

Vogel Vacation Party
We schedule a Volcano Hiking Tour, Swinging Bridge Hiking Tour and Waterfall Tour. Victor was our driver and tour guide. Firstly, Victor was prompt and on point with our group of 8 adults. Victor's people moving van was modern, clean and well air conditioned. Victor's knowledge of the area was wonderful throughout our touring. Victor was great spotting the wildlife and his English was very good. We had a great experience with Victor. He was friendly, interactive and integrated with our group wonderfully. He became part of our family, inclusive of sharing some beers after each excursion. If you want to enjoy the sights/sites and sounds of LaFortuna, enlist the services of Victor and his team. You will have a great time with a lot of laughs. The Vogel Vacation Party
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for trusting our team and company

Excellent Private Tour Guide!
We were lucky enough to have Victor Rodriguez as our private tour guide twice during our stay. He is incredibly knowledgeable, easy-going and can spot birds and animals when no one else can. We absolutely recommend Arenal Private Tours and Victor!

Sloth hunt
Our guide helped us to find and observe 6 sloths, but we had to walk through deep mud to find them. We also found a blue Jean poison frog. I thought breakfast was listed as included in the package but that was not the case. Our guide tried to sell us a property in Costa Rica.

+

Who is Sloth Tour in La Fortuna - Arenal . NATURAL HABITAT best for?
+
It suits families and travelers short on time best, based on its 2-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

+
Yes. It starts at $25, below the $80 typical for similar experiences in La Fortuna.
How much does Sloth Tour in La Fortuna - Arenal . NATURAL HABITAT cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Sloth Tour in La Fortuna - Arenal . NATURAL HABITAT 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 Sloth Tour in La Fortuna - Arenal . NATURAL HABITAT worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 13 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 Sloth Tour in La Fortuna - Arenal . NATURAL HABITAT?
+
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 in La Fortuna - Arenal . NATURAL HABITAT 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 Sloth Tour in La Fortuna - Arenal . NATURAL HABITAT?
+
Around 5 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 Sloth Tour in La Fortuna - Arenal . NATURAL HABITAT 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 White Water Rafting Class II and III, Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, 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.
