Long live Brandon and Tortuguerro! - We did two activities with Brandon: a night tour and a canoe trip to the lagoon. He also welcomed us when we arrived by boat. Brandon is very kind and always answered our questions very quickly! He is from the city and therefore knows it very well. Thanks to him, we saw our first sloths, and many other animals including a kinkajou, which is difficult to see! Thank you, Brandon. Our stay in Tortuguerro would not have been the same without you! Pura vida! Emilie, Erwan and Maiwenn

Night adventure in the jungle! - We really enjoyed the night walk tour with Brandon. He was very knowledgeable. His ability to find animals, snakes , spiders and frogs camouflaged, in the greenery of the jungle was outstanding. It was very informative and fun to walk through the jungle at night. Highly highly recommend him!

A amazing night tour - We found a lot of animals. The tour guide was very experienced and patient. He had a great eye and helped us spot many animals. We saw both two-toed and three-toed sloths, red-eyed tree frogs, lizards, birds, and spiders. It was an amazing trip.

Brandon is the Best! - Brandon was not just an excellent guide, but a very good communicator by way of WhatsApp. He texted me the day I made the reservation and was very responsive, even helping me with general Tortuguero issues that had nothing to do with my tour. I wish I had booked all my Tortuguero excursions with him. As a guide, he spots things we could never see, and even seemed to be the best, as he was spotting animals that other guides had missed. He also is very good at taking pictures and videos (with a keen eye and great camera) and he sends them all to you right after the tour!! Truly outstanding!!

Outstanding Night Adventure & Canoe Tour with Brandon - Both the Night Adventure and the morning canoe trip in Tortuguero were absolutely fantastic experiences of our entire Costa Rica trip! Our guide, Brandon, made them the best possible adventures. Brandon speaks excellent English and is a wealth of knowledge. He didn’t just point out animals he shared incredibly detailed and fascinating information about their behavior, habitats, feeding habits, whether they’re nocturnal or diurnal, and even seemed to know the exact spots where certain species were most likely to appear. Thanks to him, we saw (and learned about) far more wildlife than we ever expected: monkeys, toucans, sloths, countless birds, frogs, basilisks and so much more. What really set Brandon apart was his passion for photography. He used his own phone (with an impressive telephoto lens) to take stunning close-up shots of the animals and shared the high-quality photos with us via WhatsApp a hugely appreciated bonus that gave us professional-looking souvenirs at no extra cost! Beyond the wildlife, Brandon generously shared insider tips about Tortuguero village itself: the best local restaurants, and other activities worth doing with our remaining time. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you, Brandon, for two perfect excursions!
