We got really lucky and were the only two people on the tour. As we booked the 11am most of the morning tours were already done by the time we left and we had many of the waterways all to ourselves. We saw a lot of wildlife still, including a crocodile, caimans, turtles, lizards, birds and even monkeys. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny and easygoing. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an immersive experience of the river and lagoon.
We had a wonderful kayak tour through the national park. We learned a lot about the flora and fauna, and we also saw many animals thanks to our excellent guide, Maurice. We would highly recommend it to everyone and would book it again anytime! Thank you very much.
Wonderful kayaking tour through the canals, even in the small ones, where you can't get there with other boats. Detailed explanations of flora and fauna. Many animals seen: Birds, butterflies, iguanas, caimans.
Professional attention, recommendations on activities and coordination of groups and schedules with absolute adaptation to satisfy the client
Yesterday, we took a night tour of the jungle with Don Yoyi, and it was just amazing. We saw a wide variety of animals, including many reptiles and amphibians. The thrill of exploring the jungle at night was unique. This morning, we enjoyed a canoe tour of the canals with guide Liroy. It was very, very fun and allowed us to appreciate the natural beauty of Tortuguero from a different perspective. Without a doubt, this experience is something that is not lived every day and we recommend it to everyone. We thank Engel for its excellent organization and the guides for their passion and knowledge. You can't miss it!
One of the best experiences of my life, Angel and Leroy were fantastic, I hope everyone can share this experience with them.
We were taken care of by angel, a very nice sympathetic enthusiastic youngster who just started this business, he explained everything well and had arranged it well. We ended up doing the tour with Pablo, a real local who spoke good English and knew all about the jungle, animals and his birthplace. Within a second Pablo had also spotted all the animals present at that spot. And we really saw a lot of animals. We had the tour for 2.5 hours but stayed longer in the jungle because Pablo and we had super fun in the jungle. This tour is highly recommended!
We hired kayaks from Engel and discovered Torteguero on our own pace. A really fun add on when a tour guide has already shown you around (we did 2 tours before).
We did the morning tour with Leroy and were absolutely thrilled. We wanted almost all the animals and also found them with his eagle's eye.
Great kayak trip, during which we saw many animals thanks to our guide. Clear explanations in Spanish and English. I highly recommend it.
