Wonderful tour with many animal sightings - Great tour! Have seen many different animals that you wouldn't get so close to. The tour is in a boat without an engine. Our guide Erick has a lot of knowledge about the animals and a good eye to discover them. The tour was worth knowing and humorous. That's right. I highly recommend it.

Amazing! - This tour exceeded our expectations. The canals are magical with an abundance of wildlife to be seen. However, without Nortons' knowledge and expertise, we would have missed most of it! If we had another day, we would have done it all over again and would have loved to complete a trek in the park, definitely with Norton as a guide!

Top experience - We had a great tour with a great guide. Book the Don Chico Tour through Luis and ask for the guide Norton, top guide. And they promise a 2.5h tour.... And we had over 3 hours. Caveman, turtles, monkeys, birds, iguanas etc....

Great tour with Norton! - We did a morning tour with Norton, who was a great (and eagle-eyed) guide! We saw sloths, iguanas, howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, many caimans, a swimming boa constrictor (!) and more. I would highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic guides and trips. Book this! - We - mom, dad and two girls of 8 and 11 - went with Luis on the canals and Erick in the natural park. We absolutely loved both tours and the guides! They showed us soooo many animals we would have never seen like aras’, basilisk, iguanas, kaiman, sloths, monkeys, toucans, anteaters, poisonous frogs, lizards, footprints from jaguars, parrots, butterflies, hummingbirds, kingfisher etc etc. both experienced guides knew so much about the wildlife and the history of Tortuguero and the country. “Like walking with a friend” my wife said. Wow! I highly recommend doing these trips with these guys!

The best, the guide. - The canoe tour is rowing, the guide is responsible for rowing and giving you the explanations showing you how to see the animals up close. The canoe doesn't have a seat and that's a little tired for the back. We had a last-minute discharge and they didn't offer to return our money.
