Discovering Tortuguero - We did the complete tour. Morning canoe, walk through the park in the middle of the day and night tour. Our guide was always Andrei and was impeccable. He taught us a lot and showed us a lot of animals. The canoe ride is probably the best of the three. It allows you to immerse yourself in the various sides of Tortuguero, the canals, the forest and the animals. We saw nearby monkeys, iguanas, several birds and a cayman. On the walk in the park we saw snakes, lazy, rodents, frogs and parrot. On the night tour we saw two tatus, spiders, lizards, a lazy and insects. It was a memorable visit of a day in Tortuguero.

Perfect tour to see the nature of Tortuguero - The tour was fantastic! A day full of adventures but with time to relax between activities. We did the tour with few people and one of the excursions alone with the guide and saw a lot of animals. Israel and Andrei are very professional and explained many things about their country. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

A magnificent day - We were in October for one day with Tortuguero Eco Experience.
Our guide, Israel, was so great 😀 everything is well organized. What a wonderful experience to see the turtle lay and camouflage its eggs. All that with the respect of nature and biodiversity education. Bravo

A wonderful day - We had a fabulous day with our guide, Andre Junior. His knowledge of Tortuguella is astounding, and he gives the perfect amount of explanation. We started the day with canoeing on the river near the preserved national forest and saw howler monkeys, spider monkeys, a caiman, and even a sloth, as well as numerous birds. We had enough time for breakfast and a quick freshening up before heading out for a hike. Andre continued to astound us with his knowledge and it was obvious that he is passionate about nature and the rainforest. He even took a moment or two to move a grasshopper out of harm’s way!
The icing on the cake was observing a green sea turtle lay and cover her eggs on the beach. This was fascinating and will forever be ingrained in our minds as one of the true wonders in nature. Andre clearly explained the rules and reasons behind being quiet, not using flashlights, and being respectful of the turtle’s space.
Be aware that this day requires you to be in fairly good shape. It’s nowhere near challenging, but it requires a fair amount of strength and ability to walk a few miles at a brisk pace in a very hot, humid environment. Bring lots of water and make sure your shoes are well broken in before this trip!
Overall we had an extremely fun day and it’s well worth the money!

A great value package - Our guide Israel was so kind and knowledgeable. He was with us for the whole day. We were two families of 4 travelling together.We were lucky to see a turtle laying her eggs and a sloth moving on the ground that had come down from it's tree. It rains alot but the tour company provided great ponchos to help keep dry. A normal rain mac is just too hot to wear. Flip flops are great for the canoe trip but you need closed toed shoes for the hikes.

Wonderful! - Our tour guide, Israel, was patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. The way he could spot things was magical. We were with him all day and he never seemed to tire or lose gentle enthusiasm for the incredible world around him. He is the kind of guide that when you meet other tours, you know you have the best guide. We felt very lucky that we were assigned to him and that our travel agent chose this organization to book with.

Day trips top! Night tour FLOPP! - The tour by canoe was perfect. The hike through the national park was perfect. The night walk completely superfluous.
