This is a family run company. Very good response time and communication. We booked the mangrove tunnels and then added on the day a tour of the Sloth hangout. Diana was our driver. Diana was very nice and made sure we arrived to our destinations safely. She is not a tour guide but she did act as an interpreter on the mangrove boat. From the port, it takes an hour to go up the East side to reach the mangroves tunnels. We booked a private boat and there was a mixup by the mangrove manger but it was quickly fixed. If you book private make sure you get private. You do go out in open water for a short time to get to the tunnels. There are no life jackets. I didn't worry since the water was so calm. But just fyi if you can't swim. We did like our boat, he had signs in english with historical facts all over the boat. So cute. One tunnel route had red mangroves and down another section were white mangroves. The tour on the water was 40 minutes. After the mangrove we headed on the same road back down 30 minutes to the sloth hangout. Entry fee for the sloth no matter what age is $12. We were at the sloth at 1:15pm and it was EMPTY. We didn't have to wait for a guide. Do yourself a favour and go to the sloth hangout in the afternoon. The sloth guide said people wait up to two hours in the morning. Avoid the morning! At the sloth hangout you can get up close and feed them, but you can NOT hold them. This guided tour was fast 20 minutes. You feed the sloth, birds and monkeys. The monkeys, when i was taking a picture grabbed my arm to get to my iphone and they also slapped ice cream out of my sisters hands. They use their tall to grab things. Be careful of your things near the monkeys. They tag team you. That was quite amazing to watch. After the sloth hangout, it took 30 minutes back down the same road to the port. This was my favourite excursion on our trip. Both the mangrove and the sloth hangouts were so peaceful. Diana did a great job and Juan the owner was always available. I am very happy with this company and our tour was just perfect. I recommend this company.
