Tortues Costa Rica - Very good ride with Christian who is friendly and makes you live the experience with anecdotes and history about turtles. Place of exception.

Super informative guide - Our guide was very informative about Sea Turtles and honest about the best place to see them. Unfortunately our littlest wasn’t in a good place to travel very far to see them that night, so we went to the beach less likely to spot them. We didn’t end up seeing any turtles, but we were given realistic expectations and he offered us a boat tour to make up for it. We would have loved to have the time to make that happen but unfortunately couldn’t fit it in this trip. Still had a good time learning about turtles and it was nice of him to offer a boat tour even though not seeing any turtles wasn’t his fault, so we really appreciated that.

Even without turtles, what a beautiful evening - The Guide of this service wished to cancel it because of the rough seas Leaving the next day, he still agreed to bring us a place to try and see turtles Despite the time not Clement, he went beyond the possible to achieve the impossible by traveling several tracks by exceeding the duration of the performance very significantly. This evening will remain engraved thanks to him and our exchanges even if the turtles were not there To make his hesitation

Amazing Turtle Adventure - What an amazing experience with our guide, Moses. We saw tiny turtle hatchlings make their way from their nests to the ocean, and saw a momma turtle on the beach. It was a wonderful experience for our family of eight!

Cool experience - Great experience. Just understand that nature is nature and you pay for the experience not for the guarantee. We got lucky and say about 4 turtles but since it was the end of the season, none of them laid eggs. Still really cool to see. Learned a lot on the ride there—guide was very knowledgeable and cared about the turtles and the environment which we really appreciated!

Knowledgeable and conscientious guide for our fun and unique turtle viewing experience - Our guide, Moses, was very knowledgeable and conscientious about not disturbing the wildlife. It was apparently a 'slow' night for turtle viewing, but Moses scouted for a long time in order to maximize our potential viewing and give us the best possible experience.

Great night tour - We loved this tour! We got to both hatchling racing for the water and a momma looking to lay a clutch. Christian was a great guide, very informative and answered all our questions. Highly recommended!

Once in a lifetime experience. Not to be missed! - Amazing- once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Verny, was awesome. So knowledgeable. His passion for the turtles and genuine love for them was more than evident. The whole experience was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. We witnessed 6 females coming up to nest and even assisted babies to the shoreline walking with red lights in front of them to guide them…of course NO touching!!! Verny guided us through the entire experience, making absolute sure we respected the animals, keeping our distance, remaining absolutely quiet, shuffling our feet and allowing no lights other than Red lights so as not to disturb the mothers as the searched for adequate nesting places. It’s was absolutely amazing.
