Nat tur. Havskildpadde nesting

This was a bit of a waste of time. I know that animal spotting tours can be tough since they don’t always appear when you want them to. However, our guide barely spoke to us. We just walked slong at a quick pace while he tacitly shined a red light a few times. I know you can’t be loud or it will scare the turtles, but jeez…find a way to make it interesting. We are in good shape, but he asked twice if we were tired….which seemed like it was the only point. Maybe they try to tire guests out so they want to be dione. As a former tour guide myself, i know you hsve to make it interesting and talk to your guests or provide some sort of adventure. Otherwise, whats the point? No offense, but this should not happen in the early turtle season, or the guides should make it more than a random walk in the dark.

It has been a wonderful experience... there were not many guarantees of seeing them, but José, our guide, put in all his effort and time, and we managed to see them... José conveys his passion for his work and conservation, and he was very attentive to the children at all times, ensuring we didn't miss any details

Wonderful! The guide Lily was excellent, sensitive and attentive to everyone! We were very lucky and with her it was even better!

This was arguably the most memorable experience of our entire CR trip. Karla was an excellent guide and gave us a ton of great info about the sea turtles and about the Tortuguero region while we waited for the sea turtles to lay their eggs. The way it works is that there is a "spotter" who works with the guides to find sea turtles coming on shore. You may have to wait a little bit before seeing a turtle. Once they come on to shore there is a small window when the mother turtle is sort of in a trance and not scared by people being close by. That's when you get to see her lay her eggs. During our tour we got to see the mother turtle lay her eggs up close and while she was covering her nest she actually uncovered another nearby nest full of baby turtle hatchlings! These started crawling out all over the place and before long the beach was covered in baby sea turtles. Seeing the mother turtle next to the hatching baby turtles was truly a magical experience that I will remember the rest of my life. Thanks Karla!

An inescapable appointment in the visit to Tortuguero. A beautiful to observe the spawning of turtles at night with our guide Karla, a great passion of turtles who explained in detail the biology of the species that arrive to Tortuguero, all of them threatened with extinction. We were able to observe 2 turtles weighing about 150 kg at different stages of the process: one in the middle of spawning and subsequent camouflage, and a second turtle on its way back to the sea.

The turtle tour in Tortuguero was a really interesting experience. Seeing the turtles come to the beach at night to lay their eggs was something unique and memorable. The guides were professional and made sure everyone respected the animals and followed the rules. Karala helped us organize the transport to Tortuguero, which made things much easier and saved us a lot of time. Everything went smoothly, and communication was clear throughout. Overall, it was a well-run tour and a good experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting the area

The tour was great! Have seen two turtles laying eggs and one slip back into the sea. Friendly contact, well organized!! We'll be back!

We were able to observe the egg-laying process in two turtles. The STC was also there to measure nasty turtles. Very impressive. Karla made sure that we could see as much as possible, went into our wishes the turtles on the return to beglriten and gave us the most important information.

We went on a turtle tour with Kala. She provided us with a lot of information and gave us a good view of the egg-laying of the turtles. Highly recommended!!!

It was a great tour. We have experienced several processes of nesting the green sea turtle. It was magical. Bedankt Karla!
