Amazing experience - Rafa is the best guide you can find in Tortuguero, not only for his sympathy and friendliness, which are evident from the first second, but for his knowledge of the place and its fauna and flora. The journey is beautiful from start to finish and you can observe all the creatures of the jungle with maximum respect and with all possible clarifications by the best guide. We would definitely repeat 100%

6 stars - If I could give 6 stars I would. Rafa is an excellent guide and on top of that he is a person you can trust. He went beyond what I expected and obviously knows Tortuguero very well. You'll learn a lot

Pura vida met rafa - The tours in Rafael his boat and nights were very educational and relaxing. No hurry, he took the time to explain everything properly and take pictures. He treats nature with great respect, not only because he has so much experience (20y+), but also because he loves Costa Rica. Price/quality by far the best on Tortuguero.

A magical boat tour through the tropical rainforest. Highly recommended! - We really enjoyed the Tour. Rafa is a super nice guide who takes all the time for you. We saw a lot of beautiful birds (including toucans, a caiman, monkeys and some more animals. We really recommend booking with Rafa as you are relaxed, quiet on a small boat. So not one of those tourist boats where a lot of people go. This makes the tour quiet and gives you the best experience! You see so much beauty in the tropical rainforest. Love Monique & Lennart

Amazing Tortuguero - We did 2 tours with Rafa, one of the canals of Tortuguero National park and a night Wall. Both were outstanding and we highly recommend him as a guide. we stayed at his House as Airbnb guest and his family was very nice. a great experience overall.

Amazing experience! 100% recommend - My boyfriend and I did the morning boat tour of Tortuguero National Park with Rafa- he was our airbnb host. This was one of the highlights of our time here and in Costa Rica as a whole. We saw so much wildlife- many different birds, caymans, even baby hummingbirds! The tour was really special, particularly because it was only my partner and I on the boat- around us we saw boats full of tourists which didn’t look so comfortable or as fun :) if I went back to Tortuguero I would do this boat tour again no hesitation. Thanks for a lovely trip and the amazing memories Rafa!
