Sloth & Rafting Combo in La Fortuna 

If seeing sloths is on your Costa Rica bucket list, this combo is the perfect fit. The Sloth & Rafting Combo brings together two unforgettable experiences slow-paced wildlife discovery and fast-moving river fun. It’s a well-balanced tour for nature lovers, families, and adventure seekers.

Itinerary Overview

  • Hotel Pick-Up & Sloth Walk
    Your day begins with a comfortable hotel pick-up in La Fortuna.
    Then, you’ll head to a small, family-run eco-reserve that offers ideal conditions to observe sloths in their natural environment.
    During a relaxed 1.5-hour guided walk, you’ll learn about their slow lifestyle, their natural predators, and the conservation work protecting them.
    Because our local guides know the terrain so well, your chances of seeing both two- and three-toed sloths are excellent.
    In addition to sloths, you may also spot frogs, birds, and other rainforest creatures.
  • Light Snack Break
    After your walk, take a moment to relax and enjoy a light local snack.
    This short break gives you energy before heading out to the river.
  • White-Water Rafting on the Río Balsa
    Next, it’s time to shift gears. After a safety talk, gear up for two hours of white-water rafting on Class II–III rapids.
    Along the way, your guide will lead you through exciting drops and rolling waves.
    Between rapids, you’ll enjoy calmer stretches—perfect for soaking in the surrounding jungle.
    You might even spot monkeys or toucans from your raft.
  • Costa Rican Lunch & Return
    At the end of your rafting journey, enjoy a freshly prepared Costa Rican lunch at a private countryside restaurant.
    Finally, relax during the return trip to your hotel in La Fortuna.

Whether it’s sunny or raining, this tour delivers. You’ll get wet either way so why not make it an adventure?
This experience is great for beginners and a favorite among families and wildlife lovers alike.
