Wonderful canoe trip - We had the great good fortune to go on this tour led by Warren. He was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to make our canoe trip a very memorable occasion. We saw different birds and animals which we would never have seen on our own and told us all about them. He also told us about the area itself and how it was being protected and left us understanding why Costa Rica and Tortuguero in particular is so fascinating from an environmental point of view. Thank you Warren for everything you did for us, you certainly went the extra mile!

An amazing morning - A great way to spend a morning, our guide was very knowledgeable and shared it in both Spanish and English, we saw a lot of wildlife including a pack of capuchin monkeys up close. Also went up rainforest labyrinths that only canoes can reach. Would recommend.

Andy thank you! - The activity starts early in the morning, starting with coffee, fresh juice, watermelon and cookies. Afterwards we will be on the road with Andy, our tour guide. He taught us so much about nature and all the animals we have seen (a lot!). Super fun canoeing through a beautiful area. Recommended!

The canoe trip kills the... - The canoe trip through the Canales de Tortuguero was very nice. Guide Warren knows a lot to tell iced the flora and fauna and has a good nose for spotting animals. We have mainly seen a lot of birds, but also a crocodile and caiman. Fascinating trip!

Canoe tour - We were yesterday at the canoe tour with Warren. It was a great experience, we saw much of the great nature and saw many animals. Warren has explained much and tried to get away from the other boats so we could be alone. You could sense he loves the nature too and leads the tour with passion. 10/10 can recommend
