A highly recommended tour in Tortuguero! - Highly recommended to do the tours with Angel! We have done the electric motor canoe tour, the jaguar trail and the night tour. All have been very complete and fun, we have learned a lot about the nature and fauna of Tortuguero. And Angel is a guy of 10!! We take a great memory of Tortuguero thanks to him 😃🇨🇷

The best experience in Tortuguero from Angel! - We arrived in Tortuguero without a definite plan, but thanks to the help and proposals of Ángel it was 10! We did with him the electric canoe route (totally recommended because it doesn’t make any noise, you get further with the rowing and doesn’t scare the animals), as well as the day walk through Tortuguero National Park and the night walk along with his crony Verni, and we found a lot of animals that we certainly would not have seen going alone. It has been a great success to improve our experience on the island, so strongly recommend us 😃

Great tours - We booked the canoe & kayak tour directly with Engel. Great and smooth communication— we went by the office later in the evening and Engel made sure everything was arranged for us for the next morning. We enjoyed both tours, in the morning as well as in the afternoon. Engel, you’re the best! PURA VIDA 🌴

Animals watching on Tortuguero's canals - Thanks to Angel & Pablo for this tour. Angel convinced us instead of a kayak to take a canoe with mini engine and Pablo as a guide. That was the right decision. Without Pablo, who lives here, we would never have found the small canals, seen so many animals and learned a lot about Tortuguera. First the sun burned, then it poured out of buckets. There's something about choosing the right clothes. And the umbrella of Angel:) The boat and engine are top. Thanks for this experience

Professional, fun and easy to book tour - Top trip. Anna the tour guide is amazing, a humble and funny individual with 20 years of knowledge. Would highly recommend this tour if you want an authentic experience amongst the animals and the mangroves A small local business so you know the money is being pumped back into to the local economy
