    Tour Details
    • Destination Services Costa RicaOperatorWritten April 2024

      Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that you are going to be traveling with a group. If you book the package and nobody else booked on the same travel dates, we are going to schedule just for you all the activities. For sure you will meet more people on the shared transportation services and in all the tours. About the turtles, we can't guarantee as it depends on the season and you need to coordinate the activity directly on the lodge in Tortuguero.
