    Callidryas Tours Sloth Tour
    We booked this excursion through our resort and they were phenomenal! Very informative, super thorough and extremely professional and kind during the whole tour. We got to see many sloths, but also many other animals we didn't experience to see. The experience was tenfold better than we expected! We figured it was just going to be walking around hopefully seeing sloths, but it was so much more. Would highly recommend and made our trip to CR so much more fun!

    Wonderful Sloth Tour
    Jaime was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable and had really keen eye. He helped us snap some beautiful photos of two and three toes sloths, howler monkeys, as well as some very interesting frogs and snakes.

    Good Tour
    Guides did a great job finding the sloths and toucans. It was nice that we stopped for coffee and snacks at the end in a place that had bird watching.

    Excellent sloth tour
    Great tour, really happy we did it. Air-conditioned minibus with professional and friendly tour guide + driver. Saw lots of sloths, plus other animals. Tour guide gave time to take pictures through the telescope. We then finished the tour by eating breakfast together and chatting which was a nice experience.

Luis was a fantastic guide and answered all of our questions while stopping to point out things we would have never noticed! He's also a great photographer. We got very lucky and got a clear view of the volcano and the steam coming outof the top. Definitely a great walk for birds, bugs, and geology. Our driver had a beautiful snack table set up for us when we got back. Wonderful way to spend the morning!

The knowledge and expertise of our guide, David is what makes this a 5 star rating. More than most, he knows his flora and fauna. With more than 4,000 vascular plant species in Costa Rica along with hundreds of mammals, insect, amphibians, and bird species, I’m amazed at how much the guides know.

We fortunately had a private tour which took about 2 hours to cover about 2 miles. We made lots of stops to learn about the geomorphology of the volcano as well as the plants, insects, mammals and bird species.

Great job!

We went on the Arenal volcano tour walk with Pedro. Pedro is a very friendly guide and let us feel comfortable to ask questions. You could tell Pedro has a lot of knowledge about the vegetation and animals in the different areas of the Arenal national park. We had a great time. Also the lunch (fresh fruits) was delicous.

Comprehensive tour of the 1968 trail. Two excellent guides - Maritza and Daniel. Even though it poured down rain, the trail was fine. Well worth it — lots to enjoy—lava flow, flora and animals. The guides were very attentive and knowledgeable.

Jaime was an excellent tour guide. His keen eye sight and hearing was able to spot birds, and animals we wouldn't be able to find on our own. Very nice of him to provide binoculars as well for the both of us. After the hike we were provided a picnic full of fruit and water. 10/10!

Toured with Gerald. He was a fountain of information about the volcano and the formation of the lava flow we were hiking on. We learned all about the geology of the area, as well as the wildlife. He made what could have been some dry facts come alive. This is a must do in the Arenal area!

We did this tour with our elementary aged children
The guide was good about giving information about the volcano and being mindful of our children's stamina levels. It ended up being a private tour, which I appreciate that this company seems to try to keep groups small.

Good hike to the lower lava flows of the volcano. Only a few kilometres long which given the heat and humidity was welcome. Great views and Chris our guide was excellent.
