Our tour guide, Jose, was absolutely amazing—polite, punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, and always attentive and flexible to make sure we were comfortable.
This wasn’t a main part of the tour, but I especially enjoyed the local breakfast restaurant he took us to. It wasn’t fancy, but it was filled with locals and served traditional Costa Rican food, which made it feel like a truly local experience.
I also loved how excited Jose was about Tortuguero, even though he must have visited many times already. There are no guarantees about which animals you’ll see, so we felt very lucky to see everything we were hoping for.
One tip: it can be very hot and humid, and there are quite a few stairs to climb. Once you’re on the boat, you can’t return to the car for 4–6 hours, so bring plenty of water, a towel, and anything else you need to stay comfortable!
Thanks so much to Jose and the other Jose (our boat driver) for a wonderful experience!

Too expensive
It’s a great trip and a good experience.
But it’s way too expensive.
The food it was very basic basically the same for breakfast and lunch
Rice and beans

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are glad to hear that, overall, you had a great trip and a good experience, but we sincerely apologize that the food options and the value for your money did not meet your expectations.
While rice and beans are the proud foundation of our traditional Costa Rican cuisine (such as gallo pinto and casados), we completely understand that guests look for more variety and enhanced options during their tours.
We take your comments regarding the menu and pricing very seriously and will review them with our providers to improve our services.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a much more satisfying experience.

It is a long day but is...
It is a long day but is definitely worth it. We saw all of the wild animals we were hoping to see and our guides were very knowledgeable.

We had a great time on this tour! Saw so many cool animals. Friendly and very knowledgeable team. Only four of us plus the guide. It was a long drive out but worth it. Would definitely recommend!

A great day trip to see a unique part of Costa Rica
Our guide Al was amazing! He was so excited to point out all the flora and fauna along the way to Limon province. He even brought some delicious local fruit for our group to try. We really enjoyed the river cruise as well as the hike in the jungle. The village of Tortuguero was very interesting too. Highly recommend!

What a great day in the jungle
This was a premium experience, pickup in private car, super comfy and nice and cool. Our guide and driver drove our party of 3. We stopped and saw Sloths thanks to eagle eye guide. We had great informative conversations about Costa Rica which only enriched our experience. When we got to tortuguerro we began our bout ride which was a blast, breakfast and lunch was great very cool Tico stops. I could say more but will leave some of the cool stuff for you to see yourself, it's a great tour job at book it for a super cool experience. Thank you Ronnie, and Ronnie#2 (our boat captain. Pura vida.

It is an interesting boat trip
It is a nice and interesting day trip.
Firstly the boat trip on the river is very interesting , along the river we were able to see a lot small animals, birds, even crocodiles.
The only thing I hope it can be improved is the meals.

Fun
It was fun, we ended up only have us 2 and 1 other person. The tour was good, we had to rush because the roads opened late. Not to the fault of our driver/guide. I would say this one section is very physically asking. So be aware that if they tell you to walk up the steps, if you feel it’s not right for you physically, don’t push yourself to do it. However very nice tour :)

Thank you for sharing your experience!
We’re sorry to hear the tour had to be rushed due to the road delays, but we’re glad you still enjoyed it overall. We really appreciate your note about the hike that section can indeed be physically demanding, and it’s important for everyone to listen to their body and not push themselves beyond their limits.
We’re happy to hear it was a nice experience overall!
Thank you for choosing Destiny Travel Costa Rica

Expensive trip which totally went wrong. Think twice before booking an activity with "Treipadvisor"
The driver with the van was 1h30' late, the whole planning of the guide went wrong and the planned activities did not take place. Because we left too late we ended up in traffic jams on the way back which took another 2h time delayed. I would definitely not book another trip with tripadvisor. It was one of the worst outings we did in Costa Rica.
