The best company ! - We were a family of five from Spain, and our experience with this company was absolutely amazing! We did two tours: one to see the turtle nesting and another through the canals… and we loved them both! The turtle nesting tour was magical. We saw three turtles: one laying eggs, another heading back to the sea, and a third that started nesting right next to us. Being there, so close, watching the eggs come out while the guide explained the whole process… it’s something we’ll never forget! They really do everything possible to make sure everyone can experience that special moment. The canal tour was also incredible. We saw so many animals, and honestly, just the boat ride through Tortuguero’s canals is worth it on its own. We 100% recommend them — the guides are super friendly and make the whole experience even more special.

- A luxury to travel the canals by canoe, with no sounds other than those of nature and the excitement of discovering animals in their natural habitat. A great experience.

Hugely enjoyed - It was a beautiful trip across the lake. The guide Luis told a lot about the animals in the area and took his time. We've been to breathtaking places. We were with our family with 2 children aged 13 and 15 years

Superb visit with our guide Manual - Beautiful canoe tour of the park with our guide Manuel Mora (506-8652-3634) who knows the park at his fingertips, fauna and flora, in the small narrow canals. Capuchin monkeys, caimans, juvenile blue heron, all to the sound of howler monkeys!

this is your sign to do it if you wanna see animals!! - This canoe ride was such an amazing experience and our guide norton was so sweet and knowledgeable! We saw monkeys, iguanas, a boa, caimans and more! my family and i loved it. A few things to note is it get to the meeting spot in tortugero you do have to take about an hour boat ride for a small fee. you also have to purchase the national park tickets. I didn’t know this before but i messaged the owner and he was so nice and accommodating with us. Overall i definitely reccomend the tour with them and also giving yourselves time to explore tortugero park because it’s so pretty.
