Night turtle trip - You go out at night without electronic devices (camera, mobile phone, etc.) and wait for the spotters to tell you where you can see the turtle while it lays eggs and covers its nest

Maravillosas tortugas - Everything was great, the amazing guide!! They helped us manage a taxi boat so we could travel from the hotel to the pier. We watched the whole turtle process and learned a lot. It is important to know that the time of the excursion cannot be said until 17 on the same day of the tour, for reasons of the nature park, from the agency they notify you immediately to be able to plan. A great choice.

Just amazing - We did 3 tours and each one was brilliant. Lily was great on the turtle tour, Sandy on the morning boat tour and Louis on the night walk. All such amazing experiences. Special mention to Louis who found two sloths on the night walk. They also looked after us to ensure we got a water taxi back. Brilliant tour company with fab communication from start to finish.

Saw two turtles up close!... - Saw two turtles up close! Great tour with good communication. They even arranged water taxis for us so we didn’t have to worry about it.

Incredible. - Our guide Lily was fantastic. She was cheerful and knowledgable. She kept us informed of what was happening and was really passionate about the welfare of the turtles. There were a lot of groups heading out but it felt well choreographed to minimise disruption for the turtles. We were very lucky and witnessed a beautiful turtle laying eggs and then covering them. We also saw a turtle returning to the sea and one emerging to walk up the beach. A real privilege and experience of a lifetime. Thank you Lily and all the park rangers.

Great experience and what to know before you go. - We were very lucky and saw a mother turtle laying eggs on the beach. That experience was what we signed up for and made the excursion for us. Some things we wish we knew beforehand: the timing of the tour is at the discretion of the National Park and can be anywhere between an 8pm and 10pm start. We had a 9:30pm start and after walking in the dark to the location (about 2 miles) we made it to the beach at 11pm and didn't make it back until after midnight. The bugs were out and pants and longsleeves are highly recommended.

Once in a lifetime experience - Seeing sea turtles nest at night was such an incredible experience! Our guide Carlos was so knowledgeable and we witnessed a huge green turtle laying her eggs, then camouflaging them and going back into the ocean. Truly a magical experience!

The Night, the Jaguar and the Turtle - On the tour to attend the spawning of a turtle we were lucky to have an exceptional Guide and passionate about nature: Célimo, a Guide with about 30 years of experience. Celimo gave us all the explanations about the turtles in a very clear and didactic way until we reached the point where we had to wait for the signal from the official to give us permission to go to where the turtle was. We were the first to go, in the middle of the night half cloudy and starry, followed by other small groups. Once there, Celimo went to inspect the grounds and soon gathered the other guides to tell them that “the kitten was there”. Turns out there was a jaguar lurking very close by, the turtle's first predator. Celimo caught our adrenaline, though our prudence prevailed cautiously. We finally attended the spawning of the turtle, how it covered the eggs and its return to the sea. It has been the Best Guide we have ever had and the best tour of our stay in Costa Rica. An unforgettable experience.

100% recommended memorable experience - It was an incredible experience!!! witnessing the spawning of the green turtle has been one of the best experiences I have had in Costa Rica. I'd like to tell you everything I saw, but you'd better be surprised just like I was. I value the respect and care you have for this beautiful animal, both from Tortuguero Park and from the Guide. Verny knows a lot about turtles, so I highly recommend it, there was no question he didn't know how to answer.

Great experience with the turtle watching - Our guide was Bernie, he was very knowledgeable and helpful. He managed to find another turtle on the beach after our “designated” turtle suddenly turned back to ocean. So we could see the whole process from the turtle getting ashore and digging up (from afar) to the eggs laying and hiding (when we were allowed to come closer) There were multiple groups watching the same turtle, but everything was well-organised.
