Tortuguero, My favorite place to see in C. R. - Our guide was Arturo & he was fantastic! I would’ve loved to wander around the village, but my husband & nieto loved climbing all those stairs in Parque Carrillo to see the view from the mountain top.

Great day - We had a bit of a soggy day, but it was fabulous. The boat ride was the highlight of our trip. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and excited to do whatever we wanted to do during the day. Well worth the time and money.

Absolutely Worth Every penny! - What a great way to spend a day watching nature in action! Got picked up from my hotel and headed out to a restaurant about a hour outside of the city to grab breakfast, after that we headed straight to the national park and got to witness several species of animals in their natural habitat! Also got to see the Caribbean Sea which was breathtaking! Many special thanks to my tour guide Ricardo and boat operator Ronnie!

Tortuguero day trip - We booked a day trip to Tortuguero from San Jose with Destiny Travel. We were picked up at the hotel at 5:45 am and got back at around 5 pm. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable. We stopped for breakfast and later for lunch at "sodas" where the food was not that good. We saw few animals on our trip. Although the trip was during the season when turtles lay eggs on the beach in Tortuguero we did not see any, as that usually happens at night. So if you want to see turtles you need to stay overnight. Overall I think the trip was overpriced and I would not do it again.
