This absolutely phenomenal place! We went on a guided tour earlier in the week in La Fortuna, but didn’t see many Toucans and wanted to see more so decided to go to the Toucan Rescue. It’s off-season so we ended up getting a personal tour for just my wife and I. Upon arrival you’re offered coffee and view a short video about the Toucan Rescue’s founder, history and mission. Our guide was patient with my photo requests and answered explained all our silly questions. I left better, educated and appreciate the Toucan Rescue’s mission

Very well ran establishment. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. The animals are well taken care of and loved. The sloths and emma the otter stole the show!

Wonderful place to visit. Got to see the animals up close and hear about how they had been rescued and rehabilitated. The the tour guide – a biological scientist was very knowledgeable.

We were guided round the centre by Jocelyn. She was so very knowledgeable and passionate about everything relating to the animals and their habitats. It made the visit very worthwhile.

It’s great to see all of the creatures up close, but also to appreciate all of the work the centre does with the aim of rehabilitating and then releasing the animals back to the wild. It was explained that some of them aren’t safe to be released, either due to old injuries or their past histories when held in captivity. Nevertheless, the animals which can’t be released are clearly well cared for and loved.

There is also a nice little restaurant just down the road for food/drinks after your visit. Restaurant Tia Ana. Also recommended!

We really enjoyed our ranch tour with Issac! It was the perfect way to set the stage for our two week trip in Costa Rica. They spend a lot of time explaining the mission of the organization and educating visitors on ethical ways to observe animals. It is clearly a working organization, and I really like how they don’t bring visitors near animals being rehabilitated. The animals there to see are all unable to be brought back to the wild for various reasons. Overall, I learned so much and I felt like it set the stage for understanding animal life in Costa Rica. Definitely recommend visiting them!

We took a private ranch walk tour. This was one of the most extraordinary and moving tours I have ever been a part of. Our guide, “Joc” (like Joss) was a biologist, so her knowledge was quite amazing. The mission of the Toucan rescue is to rehabilitate animals, and they practice the highest of ethics with regard to the animals in their care. In addition to toucans and sloths, we saw monkeys, an ocelot, an otter, and other animals. I highly recommend a visit.

The diurnal and nocturnal tours are very informative and entertaining. I went with my family and they enjoyed greatly. The animals are adorable and the enviroment of the property is very relaxing and beautiful.

Booked on line sloth and coffee tour. Took an uber there about 45 minutes. I happen to be there and the only one booked so it was a bit like a private tour. They provide a video introduction by the founder who still lives on the property first. Followed by the introduction of a up close encounter with a long time resident sloth who cannot be released due to circumstances. Magical. Then I had Andrea as my guide who was extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She explained everything about the animals and birds as well as encouraged questions. I never felt rushed and the mission and ethical approach to this work and place is credible . There is a large array of birds and animals all of which have a story. They rescue rehabilitate and release where possible. The animals in the release program are kept separate so as not to interfere with future ability to release but you get to experience those who cannot and this is an amazing experience. I can’t recommend enough to go visit and support. You can also stay a couple of nights on site. Again, I highly recommend if you have time to support this group of dedicated people saving costa Rica’s wildlife.

Very informative. It is not a large place so not much walking. We spent two hours there with our guide explaining how the animals come to be rescued and why some stay and some are repatriated to the wild.

MUST VISIT! This was the highlight of my trip. Jocelyn our tour guide was absolutely amazing. It was such an informative visit and she answered any questions we had. I loved learning more about all of the animals and how to be an ethical wildlife tourist. You must book a tour online, it’s worth it!
