We had a wonderful time. The wildlife was amazing, including the birds and frogs. Highlight was seeing many sloths including a mom and baby. Our guide Asiel was kind, knowledgeable, attentive and fun. Great spotter and helped us take wonderful photographs. It was the highlight of our trip so far!

Asiel is the best tour guide in the jungle. He is not only an expert, but a genius or a wizard. He found frogs even behind the leaves, he not only sees, he feels the presence of animals everywhere. His humor is also excellent, he does his best to show all the living creatures in the forest. You should not miss this tour in Costa Rica! We had the greatest experience in this country and it is thanks to Asiel!

Asiel was AMAZING! It says Sloth tour, but we saw so much more than that — frogs, reptiles, birds, insects, cool plants just to name a few. You can tell he really cares about nature conservation and truly enjoys what he does. Extremely knowledgeable — asked him all sorts of questions and he knew everything. Food after was incredible as well. I’ve done a couple of animal tours in Costa Rica in the past and this was my favorite. Really got to understand Costa Rica from a locals perspective as well!

Our guide Asiel was very knowledgeable and his English was great. The tour is very respectful of the environment and the animals living in the park, while also giving tourists an opportunity to see animals from up close using a telescope. We got caught in a big storm, but made tortillas with cheese at the end of the tour instead.

My wife and I do a lot of travelling around the world and we always arrange our own activities. Asiel rates as possibly the best guide we have ever experienced. He was professional, knowledgable and very personable. We would give him 10 stars if we could!

Asiel is such an amazing guide. We saw lots of wonderful creatures. Asiel spotted so much more than we would have ourselves. He was very patient even helping to take photos through his scope

Aseil was our guide for the Sloth tour. He was an amazing guide. He was so knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything we looked at. He was great at finding sloths, frogs, snakes, bats and many other creatures. We loved our tour.
