Antonio contacted me via whatsapp several days before the tour and was very helpful. We also booked a canoe tour with him (great experience) in the morning and he told us it might be his wife who would ben our guide. Carla, his wife, was right on time for the 8pm tour. She explained how the tour was organised and gave us useful information about the turtles. She really wanted us to see the turtles spawning of the green turtle. Carla was in contact with Antonio and other guides all night, to make sure that we get to live the full experience. Around 10 pm, a turtle was spotted and we got to see the spawning. There was a lot of people, so we had to go turn by turn, so everyone could see the turtle layed its eggs. At this point, we decided to go home because my youngest son was exhausted. Carla and Antonio made sure we got home safely. All in all, we had a very good experience, eventhough it took a lot of time before we got to see the turtle.
Visit with Owen. Very professional. Lots of anecdotes. Answer all questions. Recommend
Stunning, it was an amazing experience, the spawning and the turtle that came to the beach was giant. Impressive experience.
Our experience with the guide José was very good. He gave us many details about the different spawning processes of the turtles and we could see them all. We were also lucky to be few and enjoy the experience more. Fully recommended.
This was an amazing experience. The staff was supehelpful and kind. Once in a lifetime opportunity. Don't miss this one.
I did two trips through Antonio - the turtle spawning and a canoe trip - and both were excellent. His wife Karla led the turtle trip and was very knowledgable and we saw 3 turtles in different stages of their spawning process. The canoe trip was with a different guide but was also very good - thank you Antonio!
Antonio was anxious to show us the turtle. We hardly got any further explanations about this, but had to ask for all the information. The English was manageable. On us, the tour did not give the impression that turtles are his specialty. I would book another guide for this tour.

Very good experience, we could see the green turtle dissobe perfectly the attention was good and the price is worth it for the experience
Excellent experience. We made the excursion in the shift of 22:00 hours, we were summoned 1 hour before and the guide explained the whole process before accessing the beach so that we were aware of each step in the spawning process. Professional Enterprise and great knowledgeable of the area. Very professional guides with great knowledge of the environment. We also carry out with them the tour of the canals with canoe and both the tour and the guide, exceptional. Antonio the Enterprise Manager provided us with all the information about the area so we wouldn't miss anything and enjoy our stay in Tortuguero. Thank you so much for making our stay unforgettable. Pura vida💚
Antonio is a great guide. We were in touch before the trip via whatsapp and everything was easy. Very close and familiar, he is passionate about what he does and is rating. As for the tour, they follow all the regulations for the protection of turtles. We were lucky and saw a spawning with nest cover and two other turtles returning to the sea that did not make the laying because sometimes they do not like the place and return to the sea. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Antonio, we will never forget this experience.
