Highly recommended! - Tortuguero is a magical area, to enjoy and juice it. We stayed 3 days and 2 nights. We were very lucky to have Antonio as our guide. We carried out several activities with him and advised us and everything we need in Tortuguero. Luckily, we continue to have contact. In short, it was an excellent experience, in a beautiful place, with an unrivalled guide!

Perfect start to your holiday in Costa Rica - Antonio and his wife Carla have given us unforgettable memories. Enough explanation without it feeling like a school trip. And finding animals in the craziest places. Highly recommended!

Magnificent family experience with the best guide - We do the night adventure, spawning and canoe tour, 2 adults and 3 children, and enjoy with each of them. Thanks to Antonio we knew all the fauna that he had explained that we could see and the children listened to their every explanation. Antonio taught us that turtles do not understand dates and that it is also possible to see spawning in June, although it is true that there are more chances in July. Thanks to his interest and passion for his work we managed to see the spawning of the turtle on a rainy night in an experience difficult to forget. A 10 score for Antonio and Tortutravel who managed everything from car parking, transfers to/from La Pavona and all experiences.

To do absolutely - It's clear that without the expertise of the guide, we would never have detected all the animals we saw. In addition, the Antonio guide was very considerate and available. A great experience.

Fabulous! - My sister and I met Antonio at the Pavona Harbor dock while waiting for our ferry to Tortuguero. At first we were wary but his professional demeanor and kindness won us over and we booked a night walk. He took care of us every step of the way and arranged transportation for us to and from the tour. On top of all that our guide was Adrian “A Team” who was extremely knowledgeable and fun! We saw sloths, frogs, iguanas and even a boa constrictor! Tortuguero is small and we ran into both Antonio and Adrian the next day and they both took care to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. I would highly recommend you seek out these guys for any tour you are interested in Tortuguero.

Amazing tour , highly recommend - Antonio is amazing. We did a Canoe and Night tour with him and were able to see a lot of wildlife, including 5 sloths. He was kind enough to also pre-book the ferry from the parking lot and pre-arranged parking. We will highly recommend him as he has great understanding of the flora and fauna in the area
