Jairo is an animal whisperer and will find the MOST to show you!! - Jairo was a genuinely passionate guide who is serious about conservation, nature, and finding interesting things to show us on the tour. He was able to show us all the amazing animals like sloths, spiders, lizards, iguanas, and a frog very up close and personal. His eye for nature helped us see the coolest animals and he had detailed descriptions and answered all the questions we had patiently. He is a consummate professional and you can’t miss a tour with him! Highly recommend!

Jairo is a master of ceremony - Jairo shows his competence with passion and finds any small creature up to ant eaters (very rare). Frogs, snakes anything you desire to discover. Enjoy any minute of day and night Tours with Jairo. We will come back for sure.

Outstanding - Jairo has been an amazing guide. We could truly sense his passion for nature and we had the opportunity to see so much in his company: boa constrictor, frogs, monkeys, snakes, sloths, grasshopers, spiders, sleeping tucan ! This is thanks to his very respectful approach, exploring in smaller groups, less noise and light. We can warmly recommended Jairo for this outstanding approach and expertise! Kind regards Pierre and Franca

A must do in Tortuguero - We did a very nice evening tour with Jairo tonight. He also told us a bit about the history of Tortuguero during the tour which we really liked. Along the way we have seen many different wildlife, from sloths, to snakes, to frogs to various species of spiders. He knew a lot about all these species! We would highly recommend this tour, Jairo is very nice to listen to and it is so nice to see creatures other than those you see during the day.

Amazing experiences with the best!! - Truthfully without words!! Jairo welcomed us from the first minute in such a warm and friendly way 🥰. We did the night tour and the canoe tour that were amazing!! The passion that jaro has for nature and animals is admirable, in addition to his knowledge of all the species of animals that we cross and interesting data that make the tours something wonderful!! I definitely recommend the tours and especially that they be with Jairo.

Perfect mystical experience to start or end your stay - Absolutely fantastic experience, not only did Jairo come to my hotel to pick me up in person before starting the tour and was courteous friendly and experienced but he accompanied me with the experiences of the following day, via WhatsApp support and even personally offered me the best experience I had the next day, in which I met other people and had a fantastic afternoon, I recommend 10/10
