Very early start but was... - Very early start but was awesome! We had some coffee and bananas and crackers for breakfast, and then seven of us plus a guide were put into a small canoe. It was optional to row, so you can. Have whatever experience you want. We saw a ton of birds and animals, including monkeys and. Even an anteater! We even saw a very small baby crocodile. Our guide spoke pretty perfect English, especially because he had spent a lot of time in the US growing up. And the tour was very diverse, with lots of people from different places. It rained a little bit during the tour, and they promised they would. Give us ponchos. If it was raining, But since the rain started halfway through, most people didn't have rain gear. It's probably a good idea to bring your own.

Wonderful experience in tortoise maker. - We did with them the night tour, canoe tour and morning walking tour in the national reserve of tortoise and it was a pass. Diego was our guide and gave us a unique experience. He likes his work and knows a lot about animals and nature. We recommend it 100%.

Great kano experience! - Great experience! We left at 6am for the kano tour by paddle. It is very nice to go over the water with the paddles instead of a motorized boat. Als better for the environment! The guide was very knowledgeable and took us the see several beautiful animals. We saw some birds, leguanas and a caiman to tol it of. Thank you for the tour!

Must-do experience - Sandy was a great guide, he could answer all our questions and found us some cool wildlife! We saw a cayman (my highlight), a spider monkey, howlers, 2 sloths and loads of cool birds/bats. A must do in Tortuguero, especially early in the morning

Great tour and guide - We had a flexible guide, it was pouring rain when we were supposed to leave at 6am. Our guide, Diego, proposed to leave at 9am, by then it had stopped raining. We did our tour completely dry. We saw some great animals, like a Cayman, howler monkeys, ara's, sloths, different kinds of birds and iguana's. Definitely recommend this tour, we would not have been able to spot these animals on our own.

Great tours into the heart of the rainforest - The tour provider was recommended to us by our accommodation and we are glad to have followed the recommendation. We booked 2 tours with Tuanis Tour and both were really great! The night hike with mainly spiders, frogs, birds and a sloth led through the nocturnal rainforest with all its sounds and the early morning canoe tour took us into the green silence of the canals. Our guide was Diego both times and we loved him! He told us a lot and was very attentive and paid close attention to our wishes. We were very lucky to be alone with him both times, so there was plenty of time for all our questions. He was well equipped with a lot of knowledge about the nature and animals of the national park as well as lamps and binoculars. The electric motor of the canoe was not heard so our coming was not immediately revealed and we could observe a lot of animals up close. We highly recommend Tuanis Tour Tortuguero!

Delve into the Tortuguero canals - The tour with Jairo and Maverick was one of the most complete tours we have had in Costa Rica. We canoeed and saw alligators, iguanas, spider monkeys and howlers, several birds, including the aninga... Jairo explained everything and was available to our questions. Highly recommended.

Paddle the backwaters of the lagoon - Lovely relaxing paddle boat tour of the lagoon and canals. Saw lots of cayman, iguana and heron and our guide Jairo was friendly and knowledgable with excellent English. We paddled all the way which was much more relaxing than the electric or motor boats that disturb the wildlife. Strongly recommend this tour.
