I was absolutely thrilled. I was glad that we could do the later tour (heck, I was glad we could do the tour at all!) because it would give us time to scout out the taxi situation at the port. He even mentioned that if for some reason they couldn’t find us a taxi in time, the sanctuary did have a van and they could help us out so we wouldn’t miss our ship. If he didn’t, they could call another taxi for us.

The driver would most likely wait in the parking lot during the tour, and then drive us back. I had also asked him for advice on transportation from the port, and he said that I could easily catch a taxi from the port area. He also told me he would knock $15 off the price of each ticket since we couldn’t do the boat tour. Gerald said that he could remove the rowboat excursion from the end of the tour, which would take at least 45 minutes off of the total time. He let me know that the morning tour was full, but there was room in the afternoon tour. I emailed the sanctuary explaining my dilemma, and I promptly received a reply from Gerald. There could be traffic, and then we’d be late, and we all know that the ship doesn’t wait for stragglers.

The 12:45 tour plus a 35-minute taxi ride back would get us to the port right at last call to board. I wasn’t sure how long it would take us to find a taxi at the port, or if we’d even be able to get off the ship quickly enough. Our ship’s schedule had us arriving in Limón at 8 AM, but arrival times are never a guarantee. Looking at the sanctuary’s schedule, I saw two three-hour “Insider” tours per day (Tuesdays through Sundays at 8:45 AM and 12:45 PM). It didn’t include transportation, but it was half the price! They offered the same tour that Princess had advertised, but for $125 per adult. This small coastal city is a little over a half-hour south of where we’d be docking in Limón. A quick search revealed that it’s the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica (also known as Aviarios del Caribe) in Cahuita. That wouldn’t work.įrom the description on Princess’ website, I knew that the sanctuary was where Animal Planet’s “Meet the Sloths” show was filmed. There were tickets for a shorter excursion to the sloth sanctuary, but there was no access to baby sloths, just regular old grown-up sloths. The only reason why I completely blew my budget on this trip was so that we could see baby sloths. I’ll find out who it is, and book us through them. Some other tour company must be offering this as a shore excursion, I thought. Reverse-engineering a Costa Rica baby sloth tour

There was really no waitlist there was only one tour available that day.

If it sold out this fast, they’ll add a second excursion.

You know that feeling you get when you’re watching a movie and scary music unexpectedly plays, giving you a sense of unbelievable dread? That’s the feeling I got in my chest when I logged on and saw the words SOLD OUT. I went onto the cruise planner on Princess’ website to book our tickets. Just the ladies would visit the sloth sanctuary. He found an antique banana train excursion through the Costa Rican countryside that he liked. Not long after booking, and still months before sailing, we had finally decided that he would go solo on Sloth Day. He loves animals, but he’s never mentioned a sloth obsession. I was trying to figure out whether we should spend another $250 to have Mr. Plus, are that many other people really obsessed with sloths? I was sure it wouldn’t sell out before we sailed.įirst, it was by far the most expensive excursion Princess offered for this port. This is their “behind-the-scenes” baby sloth excursion. When I first booked the Panama Canal cruise, there were plenty of tickets for the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica’s Insider tour. My daughter is just a little obsessed with sloths, and the entire reason why we chose this itinerary was to visit rescued baby sloths in Costa Rica.
