      Great, individual experience in a beautiful nature
      This was our second tour with the company after the canoe tour in the morning, and it was as great as the first one. Our guide was again Christian - same patience, same knowledge, taking us to the same really remote places and fantastic wildlife. We did many guided tours in Costa Rica - this tour was part of the best day !!!

      A good experience
      We did 3 tours in 2 days while staying at the guesthouse. Our guide was Hector. We did the night walk, the day walk and the canoë ride in the park. We had a wonderful experience despite the heavy rain on the first day Hector was generous of his time and was accomodating. We saw a lot of animals such as monkeys and sloths. We also learnt a lot about the Flora. The canoë had an electric motor which was ideal to circulate quietly in the narrow canals. Please note that many tour operators use power boats and only allowed to go in the main channels. We highly recommend

      Morning Kayak Tour Highly Recommend
      Family of 4 ((two teens) did the morning 6am kayak tour. Although the kids hated getting up that early, it was well worth it as you beat the heat and see more animals. We saw everything, and up close: birds, monkeys, snakes, caimans, turtles. And the kayak tour itself is terrific. Great guide. Highly recommend!

      Nighttour
      The two guides brought me to a private area and this was a great extra treat because I felt like we were alone in the jungle. On the main “jungle” road there are many more tour guides so you can imagine beging on a private stretch is so much better. We took at least two hours and there was no rushing. Very knowledgeable guides with sharp eyes!

      Fantastic experience
      I did the kayak tour and the nocturnal hike to see the turtles (together with my gorgeous teenager). It was an amazing experience! Josell and Jorge were fantastic, informative, and very aware of nature and its inhabitants. I can highly recommend the company!

      Would recommend this to anyone wanting to immerse themselves into the Tortuguero canals. My guide Josel was so friendly, informative and passionate about Costa Rica and its nature.

      Great adventures in Tortuguero
      We loved the early morning canoe tour and the turtle night walk. We could observe a lot of animals. Our two guides Jorge and Jose were very nice, knowledgeable and took the time to show us the wildlife. We also appreciated the equipment; boots, rain poncho and binoculars that were lent to us. We definitely recommend going with Tortuguero Adventures.

      Easy kayak rental, super friendly staff
      Rented a kayak for a few hours and everything worked well, with super friendly staff. If you’re looking to explore the canals on your own and enjoy the nature, book a kayak here. I did so because I was too lazy to get up for the guided tour at 6 AM, but I’m sure this would be even better than exploring by yourself

      Total Tortuguero
      We did the Tortuguero all in one tour. We saw amazing animals on the canoe and walking tour through the jungle. Celimo, our guide, was so knowledgeable and passionate about animal conservation. An incredible guide all around. And the highlight was the turtle nesting. Clearly a company that takes nature and animal preservation seriously. Highly recommended!!

      The place to be in Tortuguero
      Really the place to be in Tortuguero thanks to the kindness of Emmanuel and the help of Jordan who can drive you around by canoe only by hands ! He gave us good indications to go to eat and to prepare the way back to La Pavona ! We spent very nice time in Tortuguero. Thank you

      Kayaking and turtle tour with Celimo
      We did an early morning kayaking tour and 10pm turtle nesting tour with Celimo. We all LOVED every minute, even the downpour during the kayaking! Seeing the turtles lay their eggs was a once in a lifetime magic moment for us. Celimo is the best tour guide EVER! Passionate and caring about all the wildlife, vast knowledge and details about the animals. We learned so much! Thank you! We know that bats are Celimo's favourite animals, just to let him know that we visited the bat sanctuary in Monteverde. Beautiful creatures!

    It was an amazing canoe tour in Tortuguero! The guide showed us so many birds and told many interesting facts about them and the nature. We also saw caimans and monkeys. The tour took longer than others, because the guide wanted to show us more and gave us time to take beautiful photos.
    Thanks a lot for a good experience! We can highly recommend the Adventures Tortuguero!

    Amazing tour with Tortuguero Adventures. The guide take time to explain and show us everything about animals and he has a really good knowledge about this.
    The must : they don’t look at the clock they share a passion.

    Just think to have cash when booking tour because it’s less expansive ;)

    I can't say enough good things about everyone at Tortuguero Adventures! My family and I took three tours with them (canoe, Jaguar Trail hike, Cerro Tortuguero hike), and my only regret is that I didn't have time to do more! Everyone there was extremely knowledgeable about flora and fauna of the region, and they were able to personalize our trips based on our interests. The environment at the office was relaxed and friendly; we felt like family while we were there. In spite of (or maybe because of) the nearly constant rain while we were there (late May), every trip was an adventure! I learned a lot about the

    Best kayak experience in my life! Andrés, the owner is such a friendly, flexible and above all passionate guy. He explained us many things about the route and how we could find animals best. We wanted to go just by ourselves and this was all good. In total we spend 6 hours on the water in between the Kayman Crocs, Turtles, big big fish, many birds and ofcourse between so much greenery. The scene is amazing. We were all alone in the small waterways through the rainforest. After surrending to the rain it even became fun to kayak through it!

    We had an amazing time with them! Celino was super patient, respectful with the nature and wildlife.
    He explained us a lot of interesting things and we saw many animals .

    We are very happy to have share this experience with him and highly recommend to navigate with an electrical motor.

    The team was amazing! Bairo the guy who is in charge of the mechanical things, he was nice too!

    Eric took my wife and I on an incredible canoe tour. We saw both spider and white face monkeys, adult and juvi came, toucans, macaws, and so many more. The electric canoe experience was great. It made for a super quiet, up close experience with all the animals we encountered and since it was motorized we got to go deeper into the jungle than most of the ppl on kayak. Over all we had an amazing experience and can't thank Eric enough for all the knowledge he passed along about the animals and costa rica itself. I would highly recommend this tour company and if you get a chance to stay in there guest house it is probably the nicest one one on torteguero.

    Thanks Eric

    Excellent couple of trips with Celimo.
    A very engaging & super friendly knowledgeable guide. We saw lots of an& Celimo went out of his way to find the animals & explained everything we needed to know.
    Buy your activities from Emanuel at the Tortuguera adventures office located on the way to the park. To get there turn right out of the boat arrivals & head to the park.
    Also stay in one of their excellent rooms, with a great view of the lagoon if you can.

    Simply magical. We saw incredible birds, reptiles, and monkeys. As Erik was not following the exact same route as the other boats, we managed to enjoy the nature in silence, only ponctuated by interesting and captivating anecdotes about the animals and the studies around them. Deeply stimulating for the eyes and the mind.
    I simply recommend.

    Absolutely fabulous tour with this company! Good quality binoculars and ponchos were provided to all clients and we spent about 3 hours out on the water. Our guide, Bryan, was incredibly knowledgeable and we saw some great wildlife. We explored some smaller tributaries that the other companies didn't go down, so I definitely think we made the right choice to go with Tortuguero Adventures!

    We booked the canoe tour and the nightwalk with Tortugero Adventures and got so much more than we payed for. On our first excursion, the canoe tour, the staff - Byron, Emanuel and Celimo - welcomed us with a cup of coffee. Perfect to wake us up. Right after we took off on our adventure with Celimo.

    How can I describe it. That man is a treasure trove of knowledge. From spotting the animals, to very interesting infos about their behavior and the natural history of Costa Rica. He knows anything and everything about the nature in Tortugero and also has a way to package it in an engaging and interesting way. I was on an university excursion to Costa Rica a few years ago but Celimo even put my professors from back then to shame.

    The next day we joined Celimo on the night tour and it was exactly the same: unbelievable knowledge mixed with a great personality. He took us to some of the more hidden spots to see animals and went above and beyond to guarantee a great experience for us.

    Overall the experience with Tortugero Adventures as well as the attached hotel Paisajes del Tortuguero was great. All 3 of us enjoyed it greatly and when I come back I'll make sure to book with them again.
