Kayak tour Tortuguero - We had the kayak tour with Waren. It was an amazing experience as you feel close to nature and with the kayak you can go deeper into the canals where bigger boats don’t reach. If you don’t mind the paddling I would definetely recommend it over the canoe tour. Waren was an excellent guide that showed as many animals and explained the history of the place!

Wonderful - We left early in the morning for a kayak ride to observe the animals, and the experience far exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Daniel, was exceptionally passionate, respectful of nature and with an impressive knowledge of wildlife. Thanks to him, we were able to observe many animals. We left delighted!
