- Parque Nacional Tortuguero - An important detail to note is that at 5:30 pm on the day of the tour, Viator will notify participants via WhatsApp or email about the scheduled time for the excursion. The national park determines whether the tour will begin at 8:00 pm or 10:00 pm. As professional guides, the team arrives one hour before the excursion starts, with available time slots from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm and from 10:00 pm to 12:00 am. Upon arrival at the meeting point, the group proceeds to a location called Base, where they await a call from companions known as Trackers. These Trackers are responsible for protecting the beach and notifying the group when they can observe the turtles. At La Base, information is provided about the species of sea turtle to be seen, such as the green turtle Chelonia Mydas, and the processes permitted by the National Park. Travelers will have the chance to witness the second largest turtle in the world in its natural habitat and observe the egg-laying process. Additionally, travelers can ask questions about the excursion and the turtle species.

Magic experience - Our experience with the guide José was very good. He gave us many details about the different spawning processes of the turtles and we could see them all. We were also lucky to be few and enjoy the experience more. Fully recommended.

Excellent guide - I did two trips through Antonio - the turtle spawning and a canoe trip - and both were excellent. His wife Karla led the turtle trip and was very knowledgable and we saw 3 turtles in different stages of their spawning process. The canoe trip was with a different guide but was also very good - thank you Antonio!

Unforgettable experience 🐢🐊🦜🐒🦎 - Excellent experience. We made the excursion in the shift of 22:00 hours, we were summoned 1 hour before and the guide explained the whole process before accessing the beach so that we were aware of each step in the spawning process. Professional Enterprise and great knowledgeable of the area. Very professional guides with great knowledge of the environment. We also carry out with them the tour of the canals with canoe and both the tour and the guide, exceptional. Antonio the Enterprise Manager provided us with all the information about the area so we wouldn't miss anything and enjoy our stay in Tortuguero. Thank you so much for making our stay unforgettable. Pura vida💚

Unforgettable experience in Tortuguero - Antonio is a great guide. We were in touch before the trip via whatsapp and everything was easy. Very close and familiar, he is passionate about what he does and is rating. As for the tour, they follow all the regulations for the protection of turtles. We were lucky and saw a spawning with nest cover and two other turtles returning to the sea that did not make the laying because sometimes they do not like the place and return to the sea.
I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Antonio, we will never forget this experience.

Antonio is very nice and at pains. - Antonio was anxious to show us the turtle. We hardly got any further explanations about this, but had to ask for all the information. The English was manageable. On us, the tour did not give the impression that turtles are his specialty. I would book another guide for this tour.

Not a 3 hour event - I was up sold to a boat with the expectation of being on the beach for a longer amount of time: mislead that we would be there 2 hour tour. Took less then an hour total including boat ride. I would do the experience again, but with a different company.
