Most of Costa Rica's rich wildlife lives in the upper levels of the trees. So what better way to see them than a suspended bridge hike, high above the jungle floor. Spot spider monkeys, sleepy sloths and 400 species of tropical birds alongside an expert guide. And after a refreshing swim in Llanos del Cortes waterfall and a Costa Rican lunch, you'll spend the afternoon floating down the river on a raft.

We got to see and do a lot in one day. We planted a tree sapling aimed at offsetting the carbon footprint of tourism. We had a gentle stroll on a private estate with a guide who helped us find and photograph several sloths. Our visit to the rainforest with some hanging bridges was interesting. It is a steeper climb and our guide walked us pretty fast. Most of the wildlife was hiding from us. The highlight was the exciting raft ride down a wide river. There was so much wildlife on the banks.

More like we were being hurded from one place to the next , rainforest walk was around a couple of banana trees then the sloth search was ok but looked through lenses to see, on independant tour was up close and personnal, with good knowledge and info, not here though! No water or refreshments were provided thoughout the day, were expected to come supplied ourselves, which on independant tours we did this was all included, especially concidering the heat. Lunch was standard, tips asked by all

Crammed a lot in. Great guides. Raft was fun. Loved seeing sloths and planting the tree.

Best trip ever the wildlife food & all the guides & driver were brilliant!!! Amazing photos through the binoculars & to actually see a sloth walking on the ground. Nothing will top this ever!!!!

The whole day was fantastic. Staff friendly, knowledgeable and wanting to make our day memorable. Food at lunchtime was lovely. Would thoroughly recommend this day out, saw lots of wildlife. Long day but wirth it. Amazing experience. Thank you

A brilliant day trip! Started the day with a visit to the waterfall, where we could have a quick swim - it was beautiful. Then got to see lots of wildlife, including sloths (3), snakes, frogs, monkeys, and toucans. Our guide, Jason, was brilliant - he was extremely knowledgeable and also very attentive, took lots of great photos for us. The rafting was a great way to end the day, very relaxing!
