A great day with the opportunity to see lots of animals. The guide is really very friendly. I had chosen the boat combo, jaguar trail, and night outing. It was a great day.

It’s such an amazing experience, Andres the owner and Hector our guide were very friendly and acknowledgeable. They made it their mission to get us an amazing view of any animal we can across for both the canoe and hike. The binocular, ponchos, life vests and boots provided were of very high quality.We highly recommend this tour if you’re staying in tortuguero.

The tour guides are...

The tour guides are knowledgeable and experienced. Our tour guide was very personable and did his best to point out anything and everything we were interested in. The only reason I gave this four out of five it is that unfortunately nature does not go by our desires and we were unable to see a sloth or a toucan on this particular hike. On the other hand, we were treated to visions of three out of three of the species of monkeys that are in the area we also got to learn some anecdotal notes about some of the plants, insects, reptiles, and birds in the area.

Beautiful and close to nature

Very good combination for those who want to enjoy the nature reserve by boat in the morning, following by a break and a walking tour later. Our guide was very knowledgeable and he took great care to explain to us how important and fragile the ecosystem is. He took his time and provided additional info. We managed to sloths, monkeys, countless lizards, colourful frogs and birds. Definitely excellent value for money and well organised, including binoculars, telescope, ponchos and rain boots. Perfect for families with kids
