Great professionals in Tortuguero - We did the turtle watching and the next day the tour of the canals and the experience was very good, both in what we did and saw, and mainly for the unbeatable treatment of the hosts, highlighting Luis Manuel. Thank you very much for your kindness and for your way of explaining your wonderful land of Tortuguero

Silently rowing at the edge of the rainforest and it's waterways, lots of animals big and small - We were given big, thick ponchos because it was pouring down with rain. Our guide Will was rowing whilst we could admire the landscape. Will pointed out so many animals that we had passed without noticing. With our small camera we were able to take many photos. Will also had some binoculars we could use. We were lucky and the sun came out again for a while. We did some rowing as well but it's quite tiring if you are not used to it. All in all an excellent experience. :-) thank you very much!

Total immersion in nature - Thank you very much Louis for this beautiful experience. Visiting the canals by rowing boat allows you to explore this magnificent park even more deeply. We met caimans, a multitude of birds and the famous basilica lizard. We really felt immersed in the forest. What a beautiful atmosphere! Pura vida Louis 😉

An exceptional adventure! - Great experience with our guide Luis who showed us around the canals of Tortuguero by canoe. In a small group and without a motor, he made us discover an exceptional wildlife in a magical setting: caimans, spatulas, herons, iguanas, sloths and so on. In the evening we met him to see the turtles and thanks to him we were able to admire all the stages of laying until the turtle returned to the sea: unforgettable moments! Don Chico Tours and Luis are very serious, competent and respectful of nature. To be recommended with your eyes closed.

A great (but wet) tour! - Although there was lots of rain, this was a lovely tour through the winding rivers of Tortuguero. Our guide was great! He was very knowledgable and was able to spot some animals from miles away. He even brought us some fruit snacks!
