Go for Don chico! - We had a tour with Erik, very humble, funny & knows a lot stuff about the park (very good English too btw) We did the tour at 6 am and we felt very safe with Erik as our cano driver. We have learned a little bit more about Costa rica, especially from Tortuguero :D Very well recommended for everyone that want to do a tour in the morning! Kind regards, Pim & Evie

Canoe Tour of Tortuguero National Park Canals - We went on a canoe tour of the Canales of Tortuguero National Park where we were lucky enough to run into a crocodile that was resting and sunbathing. Come to Costa Rica and enjoy these beauties!

Unforgettable experience! Highly recommended - Excellent guides and excellent tour. Bernal explained everything in great detail and passion. We saw many animals, it's an amazing experience. On the other hand, Luis constantly advised us on activities in Tortuguero and other areas of the country, and booked us different transfers, which was very comfortable. Fully recommended!!

Brilliant canal tour - a real highlight of our trip - We had a brilliant canal tour with Don Chico tours! Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny and pointed out lots of wildlife - we saw caimans, iguanas, monkeys, lizards and many different birds, and learnt a lot about Tortuguero. Luis from Don Chico was also great at communicating with us before the tour to make sure we had all the information we needed. Would highly recommend!

Don't think about it. It's a hit. - We are a family from Spain and have done the canoe tour with Luis. I'd like to highlight how professional you've been. The day before you contacted us and gave us all the necessary information. During the tour he has shown us his extensive knowledge of nature and its closeness, has been very friendly and didactic. It has been a pleasure and deserves a 10 out of 10. Alejandro

Awesome adventure! - Such a fun trip! Norton was knowledgeable and friendly. We saw sloths, howler monkeys, caimans, and all the birds you could dream of. I felt perfectly safe as a solo female traveler.
