1 Day Wildlife Experience in Costa Rica

Welcome to Arenal Oasis, where life slows to match the gentle pace of one of nature’s most captivating creatures - the sloth. On this tour, you'll not only observe sloths in their natural habitat, but also support meaningful conservation efforts.

Nestled within the rainforest of Costa Rica, Arenal Oasis is a dedicated wildlife refuge that offers a rare opportunity to see these peaceful creatures up close. As you wander through the jungle, your expert guide will help you spot sloths hidden in the treetops. You’re sure to be charmed by these slow moving creatures - a visible reminder that there’s beauty in reducing the pace of life a little.

As you explore, you’ll also learn about the Arenal Oasis’s inspiring story of environmental transformation. In the 1980s, the Rojas Bonilla family, pioneers in sustainable practices, turned degraded farmland into a flourishing rainforest, allowing nature to take its course. On this tour, you’ll discover how their eco-friendly vision created the vibrant wildlife refuge you see today.

By joining this tour, you’ll not only immerse yourself in the beauty of Costa Rica’s rainforest, but also contribute to vital conservation efforts that protect sloths and their habitat for future generations.

This journey promises to leave you with unforgettable memories and a deeper understanding of the importance of preserving the natural world.
