DO NOT HESITATE!!!! - If you are doubting whether or not to do the tour and with whom, DO NOT HESITATE. Incredible experience with the best guide we could have, Luis, attentive and accessible at all times. He helped us even with personal issues and was very willing.
The tour is great, you see the turtle very close, but always with respect and without invading. We would repeat without a doubt.

Observing turtle nesting - Incredible excursion! We saw 3 turtles and so all the stages of laying! Luis is very invested so that we can have the chance to observe turtles! He explains very well and answers all our questions. All this while preserving and respecting turtles so as not to scare them. I recommend. Good organization.

Exceptional experience - An exceptional experience! The guides are well organized, very competent and very pedagogue!
Brandon, who accompanied us, was very patient and flexible and despite the complicated conditions, he allowed us to make the most of it and observe the laying and camouflage of the eggs!

Exceptional - Luis is a great guy!
Weeks before going, he gave us a good feeling for the recommendations he gave us and that he answered all the questions we asked him (even if they had nothing to do with him), and once there we realized that he was a great person and super attentive to everything, passionate and eager to do his job well.
We did 2 tours with them, one channel tour with one of Luis’ guys (which didn’t go very well because it rained a lot and we saw few animals, but that’s not their fault), and the turtle spawning tour with Luis that was great! My 6-year-old son Biel ended with a conversation of more than 30' with him after the spawning of which he was delighted with Luis!

Pro agency! - Fascinating experience that we live closer to the reality of nature. The guide explains all the constraints, and takes special care that each member of the group has the experience in the present moment and in an optimal way. We recommend.

Spawn green turtle sighting. - It was our first shift at 7:00 p.m. As soon as we arrived there was a turtle making the nest but something NO longer liked it and we saw how it returned to the sea. Soon we were warned that there was another one making the nest, also did not like the place and restarted the search DE another place. Finally I returned to the first place and made the... Impressive!! We also saw the DE capping and camouflaging phase.
Our guide, Luis DE Don Chico tours, was explaining each process and had the patience DE wait until the turtle that made the laying appeared. Certainly an experience that must be lived. Highly recommended.

Turtle spawning observation - Great experience with our guide Gerardo! We had booked the tour for the observation of turtle laying in the evening. We were a small group of 6 people. Gerardo is a very good guide and he is passionate. Thanks to him we had the chance to observe all the steps of laying a green turtle, Amazing! The protection of turtles and a priority for them! I recommend this tour! 🐢

Don Chico Tours is a must in Tortuguero. - The best experience we live in Costa Rica. Surely it would have been impossible without Luis. The best possible guide in Tortuguero for any activity. 100% recommended.
