We loved Luis! He gave us a tour with all kinds of explanations, treated us with great care, and took us near all the curiosities he found. Highly recommended. We would have liked to book more activities with him. Thanks for everything, Luis.
A wonderful experience. 6am tour was peaceful and beautiful. We saw a lot of wildlife and our guide Norton was incredible. Thank you for the experience.
Highly recommended tour, especially with Arturo. We were able to see many little animals and Arturo explained a lot of things to us about them and about the Tortuguero area. He also gave off very good vibes and the tour was super enjoyable.
Good organization (Jacob's Tours) and nice trip through the canals of Tortuguero NP. However, 2$ was asked for the canoe which we have strongly refused to pay. This was accepted mutteringly. So don't pay. Furthermore nice tour of 2 and a half hours.
Hello, pura vida! We are very sorry, but our company is not Jacob Tours—we are Don Chico Tours. It’s important for us to explain that we don’t charge extra fees on our tours, like some other “companies and guides” do (unfortunately, some of these people often work informally). On our canoe tour, there is no charge of any kind for using the canoe; we have our own equipment, including several canoes, paddles, life jackets, rain ponchos, and more. We also do not charge for “park admission” or “tickets” on our turtle tour, since tourists are not required to pay for such things on this tour (although there are those who lead tourists to believe that they do)
At dawn, we toured the canals of Tortuguero National Park by rowboat and were able to observe numerous animals—monkeys, sloths, herons, toucans, iguanas, basilisks, caimans, and more—in their natural habitat. Our guide answered all our questions and shared fascinating facts about the local flora and fauna, also allowing us to enjoy the sounds of nature waking up and the serenity of this authentic and timeless moment!
It was very interesting and the views were very pretty, the guide (David) explained everything to us very well and was very friendly.
We met at the Tortuguero pier, Luis, our guide, immediately proved to be friendly and helpful. The tour was very nice and is to be recommended!
2 tours done! The canal tour and a turtle tour. Both guides were good! Erick is a friendly boy who speaks good English and talks a lot about life in Tortugero and Luis is a driven boy who cares a lot about the welfare of the turtles! We had a great day
The BEST tour we have done in Costa Rica!!. You should NOT visit Costa Rica and miss this opportunity - an absolute privilege to be in nature, see the beauty and serenity of the rainforest and dive into canals to see crocodiles, birds, monkeys, crabs, lizards, sloths and more. Thank you to Luis for making this an amazing 2.5 hour experience and your knowledge and professional mamner as we went through. We hope to be back!!
Luis was excellent and very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. Canoe was the way to go to avoid scaring off the animals with a motorboat. Beautiful, scenic excursions into multiple small canals in the rainforest. Would highly recommend.
