It was an unforgettable and incredible experience! We loved the night turtle tour, since both my boyfriend and I care about and are very interested in animals. Karla was very professional, positive, pleasant, and had a lot of knowledge about the flora and fauna in general. If we had been there longer, we would have booked another tour with her. She deserves a 10/10, we recommend her 100%.
¡Muchísimas gracias por sus hermosas palabras! ❤️🐢 Fue un verdadero placer compartir con ustedes esta experiencia y poder transmitirles un poquito de todo el amor y respeto que sentimos por la naturaleza y, especialmente, por las tortugas marinas. 🌿🐢 Me alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaron el tour y que se llevaron una experiencia inolvidable. Para mí, cada grupo es especial, y encontrar personas que también sienten tanto interés y respeto por los animales hace que el trabajo sea aún más bonito. Gracias de corazón por confiar en mí y por recomendarme. Espero que puedan regresar algún día a Tortuguero y tener la oportunidad de compartir más aventuras juntos. 🥰🌴 ¡Un abrazo y un enorme 10/10 para ustedes también! ❤️
The egg-laying season is probably not the best time for the tour because you really have very little observation time, which, combined with the influx of dozens, if not hundreds of tourists per evening, makes it not such a memorable experience. Considering that there is not much else to see in Tortuguero, perhaps it was not an essential stop.
Thank you for sharing your opinion. I completely understand that the experience may feel different depending on the season and the number of visitors. However, it is important to understand that turtle nesting is a highly regulated activity precisely because sea turtles are endangered and their protection must come before tourism or entertainment. The limited observation time is not a flaw in the tour; it is part of the conservation measures designed to minimize human impact on the turtles. Expecting longer or closer encounters simply for the sake of a more “memorable” experience would actually go against the purpose of protecting these animals. Tortuguero is a destination centered around nature and wildlife, and besides the turtle tour, there are canoe tours, rainforest walks, wildlife observation and many other experiences. I’m sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations, but I believe it is important to appreciate that in a protected natural environment, the animals’ wellbeing should always come before the tourists’ expectations.
Dino was an excellent guide, he had a good system in making sure everyone could see when we got to the site. He got us there before other groups. He provided good information. Just be aware, when they say torches provided it’s just the guide’s personal torch. If you have a red light torch I’d recommend bringing it, because you won’t get a personal one.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience and for your kind words about Dino. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that he made sure everyone had a good view of the turtles. 🐢❤️ Regarding the flashlight, we would just like to clarify that this is a regulation established by Tortuguero National Park. Tourists are not allowed to enter the beach with their own flashlights, including red-light flashlights. Only certified guides are authorized to carry and use the appropriate red light during the turtle observation. This rule is in place to protect the turtles and minimize any disturbance during the nesting process. We really appreciate your feedback, and we will make sure to explain this regulation more clearly to our guests beforehand. Thank you again for choosing us and for helping us protect these incredible animals! 🐢🌿
It was an amazing experience for us. And, importantly, the organizers took all possible measures not to disturb the turtles. Strongly recommended.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🐢❤️ We’re very happy to hear that you had an amazing experience with us. Protecting the turtles and respecting their natural behavior is always our top priority, so it means a lot to us that you noticed and appreciated the care we take during the tour. Thank you for your recommendation and for helping us promote responsible turtle tourism. We hope to welcome you back to Tortuguero in the future! 🌿🐢
Carla was a very good guide. She explained everything in detail and focused on ensuring we saw the entire spawning process.
¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir su experiencia y por sus bonitas palabras! 🐢❤️ Me alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaron del tour y que pude acompañarlos durante todo el proceso de desove. Para mí es muy importante que cada visitante pueda aprender sobre las tortugas y, al mismo tiempo, disfrutar de la experiencia respetando siempre su espacio y siguiendo las normas del Parque Nacional. Fue un verdadero placer compartir esta experiencia con ustedes. ¡Muchas gracias por confiar en mí y por su recomendación! Espero volver a recibirlos algún día en Tortuguero. 🌿🐢❤️
Tour gives the chance to see the turtles and the process of laying eggs up close and at the same time the guides, rangers and researchers try to protect the turtles.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed observing the sea turtles and witnessing the egg-laying process up close. Protecting these incredible animals is at the heart of what we do, and we’re grateful that you appreciated the efforts of our guides, rangers, and researchers. We hope to welcome you back to Tortuguero for another unforgettable experience!
We went with Karla and her mama! They were both fantastic guides, answered all of our questions, and when I asked an obscure question that they did not know answer to already, they asked the local expert (researcher) and then told me. I recommend doing the later tour! Hands down it’s a great experience!
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you. We always strive to share authentic and accurate information about our local wildlife, so I’m glad we could get that answer directly from the local researchers for you. Thank you for recommending us and for highlighting our work—my mom and I truly appreciate it! We hope to welcome you back to Tortuguero in the future!🐢🐢🐢
We had a friendly guide and were lucky enough to see a sea turtle nesting, which was a very special experience. However, the atmosphere felt far less magical than we had expected. There seemed to be around 50 people on the beach, all waiting in line for their turn to watch. Of course, we understand that many people want to experience this, and we were part of that crowd ourselves. Still, the large number of visitors made the moment feel less intimate and personal, and gave the whole experience a slightly strange, almost staged atmosphere. In total, we probably spent only about five to seven minutes watching the turtle, split into very short viewing periods of one or two minutes. After each turn, we had to go back to the end of the queue, which made the experience feel rather fragmented. Before we were taken to see the turtle, we had to wait for quite a long time in the dark, surrounded by many other people, without knowing exactly when the experience would begin. Of course, we understand that nature follows its own schedule and that the turtles do not appear on demand. Still, visitors should be made more aware beforehand that a considerable amount of waiting may be involved. This waiting time could perhaps have been used better. It would have been a good opportunity to share more interesting information about the turtles, the conservation work or the nesting process, or to find another thoughtful way of making the wait feel more meaningful. In the end, visitors should be aware that seeing the turtle for only a few minutes can take up an entire evening and continue well into the night. For us, the amount of time involved, together with the price, felt somewhat disproportionate to the actual viewing time. At the same time, it was encouraging to see how seriously turtle conservation is taken in Tortuguero. The safety regulations were followed very strictly, and it was clear that protecting the animals was the top priority. We genuinely appreciated that.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear that you were able to witness a sea turtle nesting and that you appreciated our guide and the conservation efforts in Tortuguero. We understand that waiting and sharing the beach with other visitors can feel different from what some people imagine. However, this experience takes place in Tortuguero National Park, a protected natural area, where our priority is always the safety and protection of the turtles. The nesting process cannot be controlled or scheduled, as we are observing wildlife in its natural habitat. Our guides do their best to make the waiting time informative by sharing knowledge about sea turtles, the nesting process, and conservation. The short viewing time is also regulated to reduce stress on the turtles and ensure that this incredible experience can continue for future generations. We truly appreciate your respect for the conservation rules and your recognition that protecting these animals is the most important part of the experience. Thank you for joining us and for helping us share the reality of responsible wildlife tourism.
We were fortunate to witness the complete nesting process of a green sea turtle in Tortuguero National Park—from coming ashore and digging the nest to laying her eggs and carefully covering and camouflaging them. Truly magical! A special thanks to Carla, our fantastic guide, whose knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for such a beautiful review and for highly recommending our tour! We are truly delighted to hear that you were able to witness the complete nesting process of the green sea turtle; it is indeed a magical spectacle of nature. It was an absolute pleasure guiding you through this experience. We hope to welcome you back to Tortuguero in the future! 🐢🐢🐢
Karla was a very professional guide with a lot of knowledge. I would book again with her
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a true pleasure guiding you, and I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the experience. I would love to welcome you back to Tortuguero anytime!
