- Tortuguero Canal - Your journey commences at the dock where you will board your climate-controlled vehicle for a trip to Moin’s exclusive pier. Upon arrival, you will embark on the forest pontoons, which are tailored for a smooth and silent passage through the waterways. The Tortuguero Canals are often likened to the Amazon of Costa Rica due to the adjacent rainforest. The abundant rainfall here supports a rich biodiversity of plants and animals.

We saw so, so many things! - We were so lucky (timing) with our tour. The tour guides work closely with the Tortuguero Canal Boat captains. The boat captains are so experienced and skillful, they know how to deliver a once in a lifetime experience. They (also) know where and what is happening on the canal. Our Guide said that ‘we’ saw more in 90 minutes than normally you expect to see in 2 weeks.

Great Tour - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the canal and other stops. Eduardo was a great guide and we learned a lot. We even stopped at a local man’s property with a sloth in a cacao tree. We were able to get very close. Lunch at a beach was very good. We highly recommend this tour.

Canal tour - We had a great time. My dad was struggling with his copd and the guides were more than helpful and accommodating. Lunch was super yummy, chicken, rice and beans and salad. Oh and a great not too sweet fresh fruit smoothie. I would recommend and would use theresa tours again.

A Great Excursion With Eduardo and Arlen - We were given excellent directions as to where to meet and Eduardo had our name posted. Excellent tour and highly recommended. We went on a duvet boat and had an excellent meal.

Your Lucky Tour is the best - Happened to meet both Eduardo (owner) and the guide Rupert exiting the cruise ship terminal area just as their instructions. Pick up and drop off was great (even though it seemed we were late getting off the ship due to the crowd). We rarely use cruise-line excursions. They are expensive and crowded. Rupert was the best. He stopped at other local spots (not specified in excursion) to see plants and animals and even to a market. All the locals apparently liked Rupert and we felt very safe. He was very informed on land and on the canal and a personable guy as well. We spent less money and got a private tour with an awesome guide.
