Beautiful experience
Amazing experience! Extremely informative, staff are passionate about what they do. Carlos was exceptional, we learned so much. Very valuable educational opportunity, we are so grateful for this experience.

Amazing Experience Highly Recommend!
Amazing experience! We had Carlos as our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and passionate about Proyecto Asis’s goal and mission. We saw so many amazing animals that we would have never seen in our lives! It was supposed to last about an hour and a half but it went 30 minutes over which was awesome! HIGHLY recommend this as the money goes back into the rehabilitation of these beautiful animals.
Response from the operator: How nice when travelers motivate other travelers to come and contribute! Five-stars for you, too! :)

Well done!
This was a fantastic experience for our whole family, and we learned so much! If we had more time in the area, we definitely would have joined the volunteering portion of the tour as well. The property and enclosures are stunning, exceptionally clean, and well-maintained—it is obvious how deeply loved and well cared for these rescued animals are. Our guide, Oscar, was wonderful! He took his time and kept the tour engaging and fun for both the adults and kids (ages 8 and 11) in our group. What a truly incredible organization!
Response from the operator: It's so nice, Shannon, that you noticed all the effort our coworkers from Maintenance put in every day to keep the place and the animals' conditions well maintained! Thank you a lot for this review!

Perfect for the whole family!
This place is wonderful! They were very easy to work with and accommodating to the group size of our family reunion. We did the wildlife tour and volunteer activity. We had 17 people with lots of kids ages 6-17. I was worried about the little ones getting bored but our guide Carlos was spectacular! He was entertaining and funny while delivering lots of great information. He held the kids attention the whole time. We learned how the center rescues and rehabilitates animals to be released into the wild again. The volunteer portion was also a highlight for the kids. They worked to cut up fruits for the animals. It was very organized with a little menu for each animal that had pictures and how much of each fruits to put in their bowl. Then we loaded some of the food into “enrichment toys” so the animals could work to get some of the food. We then delivered the food to a few of the animals to watch the hierarchy behavior in action.
Response from the operator: We are glad that your family had a different and fun way to learn about Conservation. Many thanks for choosing our Sanctuary from all the options you had here in the Arenal area.

Great way to have close encouters
Great tour with family. The rescue center aspect provided a lot of opportunities for our young kids to see animal up close and understand the impact of negative human interaction with wild life. The place is magnificent. We were blessed to add a wild sloth, toucan and monkey to our experience.
Response from the operator: Hi, Many thanks for your visit, Daniel! Just to clarify, your family participated in the activities in the Sanctuary area. The Rescue Center is an area where our visitors have no access :)

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wildlife Rescue Center Tour in Costa Rica: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Wildlife Rescue Center Tour in Costa Rica cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Wildlife Rescue Center Tour in Costa Rica 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 Wildlife Rescue Center Tour in Costa Rica worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 190 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wildlife Rescue Center Tour in Costa Rica?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Wildlife Rescue Center Tour in Costa Rica 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 Wildlife Rescue Center Tour in Costa Rica?
+
Around 67 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 Wildlife Rescue Center Tour in Costa Rica 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.

+

What languages is Wildlife Rescue Center Tour in Costa Rica offered in?
+
