What to Expect on This Full-Day Sloth Tour & Hot Springs Combo

Your private adventure begins with a convenient morning pickup directly from your hotel in San Jose. Traveling in a comfortable, modern, air-conditioned vehicle, you will enjoy a scenic drive through the beautiful mountains and countryside of Costa Rica, heading toward the northern lowlands and the famous town of La Fortuna.

Morning: Guided Sloth Watching Tour in the Wild

Upon arrival, you will visit a premier private eco-reserve specially managed for the protection of native wildlife and Cecropia trees—the favorite food of sloths. Led by your expert bilingual naturalist guide, you will embark on an easy, accessible walk through the tropical forest.

Using high-powered spotting scopes provided by your guide, you will search the canopy to view both two-toed and three-toed sloths in their natural habitat. Your guide will help you spot these slow-moving creatures, including mothers with their babies, while explaining their fascinating biology and behavior. Along the trail, you will also have the chance to spot colorful toucans, poison dart frogs, iguanas, and a rich variety of tropical birds.

Afternoon & Evening: Relaxation at Baldi Hot Springs

After your wildlife trek, the journey transitions to Baldi Hot Springs, one of the premier geothermal water resorts in the Arenal region. Here, you will spend the afternoon exploring 25 distinct thermal pools naturally heated by the volcano’s geothermal energy.

Surrounded by lush, beautifully manicured tropical gardens, these mineral-rich waters provide the ultimate setting to unwind and soothe your body. Baldi also features exciting, large water slides for those looking for extra fun.

To perfectly round out your full-day excursion, this private tour includes a comprehensive, delicious Buffet Meal at the resort’s main restaurant, featuring a wide variety of authentic Costa Rican specialties and international dishes before your comfortable private drive back to San Jose.
