Excellent Tortuguero NP - Excellent tour. Very good guide and quite knowledgeable. We were able to see different species. It rained a lot but still the experience was unique. 100% quality.

Amazon experience, great guide and team - From the start, even before the tour, Luis and the team were very helpful (they even sent us a reminder through WhatsApp)! The tour itself was an amazing experience! We rode in a canoe small enough to go into the narrowest of canals to see the forest from the inside. During the tour we got to see various iguanas, birds, monkeys and caymans. Our guide, Brandon, spoke English really well, was very helpful with everything and was always happy to answer our questions.

Brilliant even in a thunderstorm! - Great experience even in a tropical thunderstorm! We were drenched but still had a great time and saw loads of wildlife - our guide Eddie was really knowledgable and knew all the spots to find things - even sleeping bats! Great trip and our 8 year old loved it

Personal Tour Around the National Park - We had a great guide who rowed us around the national park. We saw many birds, reptiles and monkeys as well as different trees. We learnt interesting facts about the animals. I would highly recommend, especially if you want a more personal tour.

Excellent tour provider - Great tour company, very easy to communicate through Whatsapp they are always available and happy to help. We had Brandon as guide for both the night walk and the day canoe trip and he was very knowledgeable, told us interesting stories from when he was growing up in Tortuguero, and did the tour simultaneously in English and Spanish. The number of people in the group in both tours was very small so that made it very enjoyable too. We saw lots of animals and felt very close to nature!

Very good experience! - We took the tour at 6am with the guide Erick, and we were super happy, the temperature was perfect, and by going by canoe, without a motor, we were able to go into places where we saw alligators and many more animals. We would recommend it 100%.

Totally recommended, the tour and the guide - It has been an amazing experience. We saw many animals as we entered the jungle, a spectacular landscape. Our guide has given us all the precise information, he has made the tour perfect, enjoyable and enlightening. I recommend doing it at 6:00 because of the heat. Thanks for everything Luis! Pure Life.

Good tours - We did two tours with Don Chico; Canals with Bernal and night walk with Abel. Canals was great we saw lots of wildlife and Bernal was very personable and explained a lot! The night walk was ok but we didn't see as much also we noticed other groups' guides had better bigger torches and also telescopes to see things better, which our guide didn't have. It felt like we didn't spend as much time looking for wildlife as we could have.

Okay - It was okay. We didn't see much wildlife...some birds and a cayman under water. That was it. The boat is quite uncomfortable.
