Excellent guide - Excellent guide, Antonio, helped me coordinate several months in advance the arrival in Tortuguero, coordinated the transport from the bus terminal to Tortuguero so that we could take advantage of the day, always worried that we would find animals, it was nice experience, we managed to see turtles spawning in a season that still did not start well. If you want a good guide, I recommend you.

Fantastic guide and experience - Our guide was excellent, we saw a Green Turtle laying it’s eggs. Great seeing scientists microchip the turtles and measuring them. You even get an opportunity to walk through the jungle.

Everything is what it looks like on this tour - Antonio, local guide, owner and worker of the company, together with his wife Clara, caught us at the jetty of La Pavona and blessed luck we had. With clarity, sincerity and arguments he proposed us to hire his services to do several tours and we did so. The turtle spawning sighting tour has been the best thing that has happened to us in this type of tour. We traveled with a 13-year-old boy. Antonio guaranteed that even though the spawning season had not yet begun, 99% of us would be able to see this spectacle of nature. And it did. Accompanied by Clara, a green turtle with more than 1 meter of shell taught us all its instinctive natural process of spawning, burial and camouflage. With an enviable respect from the guides to their natural heritage we were able to witness this conundrum unbeatable. And to finish, we attended the process of identifying the animal by the biologists of the National Park. Emotionally amazing. It was a good thing to meet this family.
