Antonio is a beast of series... Do not hesitate to meet turtle with him! - We found Antonio almost by chance and it was the best decision to do the different tours with him.
Apart from being a passionate Guide to the flora and fauna of your area, very aware with your care, he is a person who gets involved to the smallest detail to make your experience unforgettable.
We can't be happier about the days we spent with him and Carla, I can only say that it's insurance to hire him.
Thank you very much for your company and how beautiful you made our visit. We hope to see you soon there and you know that you have some friends in Spain for what they need ;)
I wish you the best, you deserve it!!

Spectacular green turtle spawning - Last weekend we went to the spawning of the green turtle and could observe up to 4 turtles each in a phase of the spawning process. Karla and Antonio explained and showed us the process in a very pleasant way.

Green turtle - We were very lucky to be able to witness the spawning of the green turtle and its re-entry to the sea. Our guide Carla was very attentive with us and we learned a lot with her. Very attentive at all times with us.

Excellent guide - Excellent guide, Antonio, helped me coordinate several months in advance the arrival in Tortuguero, coordinated the transport from the bus terminal to Tortuguero so that we could take advantage of the day, always worried that we would find animals, it was nice experience, we managed to see turtles spawning in a season that still did not start well.
If you want a good guide, I recommend you.

Fantastic guide and experience - Our guide was excellent, we saw a Green Turtle laying it’s eggs. Great seeing scientists microchip the turtles and measuring them. You even get an opportunity to walk through the jungle.

Everything is what it looks like on this tour - Antonio, local guide, owner and worker of the company, together with his wife Clara, caught us at the jetty of La Pavona and blessed luck we had. With clarity, sincerity and arguments he proposed us to hire his services to do several tours and we did so. The turtle spawning sighting tour has been the best thing that has happened to us in this type of tour. We traveled with a 13-year-old boy. Antonio guaranteed that even though the spawning season had not yet begun, 99% of us would be able to see this spectacle of nature. And it did. Accompanied by Clara, a green turtle with more than 1 meter of shell taught us all its instinctive natural process of spawning, burial and camouflage. With an enviable respect from the guides to their natural heritage we were able to witness this conundrum unbeatable. And to finish, we attended the process of identifying the animal by the biologists of the National Park. Emotionally amazing.
It was a good thing to meet this family.
