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!

Great Day - Thanks to our tour guide, Jerry from Destiny Travel, our trip to Tortuguero National Park was amazing. Jerry was very engaging with our group; very knowledgeable about the park, animals and foliage. We hiked through the park to the top of a volcano.....it didn't rain in the rain forest, IT POURED! Jerry was very positive and encouraging the entire day. Definitely worth the full day we spent on this trip.

Cruise the canals of Tortuguero National Park. - What an awesome tour!! Our tour guide Ricardo was awesome, knowledgeable and interesting. As we took a boat down the canals, we saw all kinds of wildlife. Howler monkeys, spider monkeys, lizards, iguanas, crocodiles, black vultures, kingfishers and herons to name a few. The tour also included a walk through the forest along a very nice trail. Breakfast and lunch included and was delicious!!

Tortuguero day tour - We saw many animals on this day trip to Tortuguero. Arturo did a great job finding animals and explaining species. We would definitely recommend it. We will probably come back for a night tour of the turtles nesting on the beach.

The best way to experience Tortuguero from San José without an overnight stay! - Great one-day tour of Tortuguero from anywhere in San José. I had visited Tortuguero over 25 years ago, and it was not an enjoyable experience to say the least. When my son wanted to go, I decided to book with Trip Advisor this time! Everything met or exceeded expectations. Our guide, Arturo, was kind, patient, and funny. Our boat guide, Ronny, knew the canals like the back or his hand and spoke English, Spanish, and Spider Monkey! We saw Spider monkeys, green macaws, a Kingfisfer bird, around 10 toucans of two different species, a huge crocodile basking on a log, as well as iguanas, other lizards, and birds. And, we saw a coati/pizote on the way back to San José, passing through Braulio Carrillo National Park. My only complaint is this- the breakfast could have been better and bigger for the price, but the lunch was quite good.

Great way to see lots of wildlife - This was a long day, but definitely worth the travel to get there from San Jose. Our tour guide Jose was amazing at spotting wildlife, always pointing it out and helping us see them and take photos, both on the drive and in the park. We saw sloths, monkeys, birds, and lizards, plus some cool mushrooms. The town was really interesting, and the food we got for lunch was by far my favorite food that I've had on a tour (I got jerk chicken and rice). We also got to spend a bit of time on the beach and saw the sea turtle nests, which was nice too. There is a bit of a walk up a good amount of stairs, so just be prepared for that. And definitely bring and use bug spray here!

Great guide - The tour guide I think his name was Roberto and he was very informative and sharp eyes. He help to make the river and rain forest exciting for the entire tour.
