// what to expect

If seeing Costa Rica's famous sloths is at the top of your bucket list, this is the perfect shore excursion for you. Designed specifically for wildlife lovers and cruise guests, this experience combines two of the best locations in Puerto Limón to search for sloths in their natural habitat: the beautiful Cahuita area and the famous Tortuguero Canals, often referred to as Costa Rica's Amazon. Along the way, keep an eye out for monkeys, iguanas, tropical birds, crocodiles, and other wildlife while exploring Costa Rica's breathtaking Caribbean coast with an expert local guide. Unlike many wildlife experiences, this tour focuses on observing animals in the wild without visiting sanctuaries, rehabilitation centers, or participating in wildlife manipulation, offering an authentic and responsible eco-adventure. This is one of the best shore excursions in Puerto Limón for travelers hoping to experience Costa Rica's incredible biodiversity and see sloths where they truly belong: in the wild.
