- Christopher· May 25th, 2024Alex was a great tour guide and we had a blast! The bus and boat that we were taken on were both comfortable and safe. The accommodations were as described. As long as it cools down enough at night, with a rainstorm for example, it’s comfortable enough to sleep without AC. The amenities on the lodge were fantastic, clean, and well maintained. The beach was stunning and the tours provided were really incredible and intimate. Highly would recommend this tour!Show more

- OLOliver· August 21st, 2023Excellent organisation. We had 2 great days in Tortuguero. I didn’t like that they tried iteratively to sell additional optional tours.

- Noelia· August 15th, 2023The tour was very well organised, the tour guide was knowledgeable, Laguna lodge was comfortable and lovely and the food was great. The only thing I can highlight as negative is that they recommend to do the Turtle tour (not included in the tour) the first day and the times can't be chosen, so you have a 5am wake up and you finish the turtle tour at around midnight.Show moreDestination Services Costa Rica commented on this reviewThank you for your very positive feedback.

- KKKarl-Heinz· February 28th, 2023Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishExcept for two missing codes for the morning tour of the canals and the Hill walk, everything was good. Stress was because the previously included description for the 3 days and two nights was not correct. I had to check several times at the reception and with the guide and even phone with the tour operator. The next morning everything was both clear and included and in the evening two drinks as an apology with it Nevertheless, the tour was very good. The lodge and the food are good. The guide for the canal tour at 8:30, Cito, was excellent and showed us lots of wildlife and great scenery. Also the hill walk with Cito was great !!! All in all epmommendableShow moreTrip date: February 2023

Alicia
Asked on October 12th, 2025Is it possible to start the tour in San José and then drive to Puerto Viejo instead of returning to San José. Is there an additional cost?
Destination Services Costa RicaOperator•Written October 2025Costa Rica is an amazing destination with its lush rainforests, stunning beaches, and abundant wildlife, offering an unforgettable adventure for all travelers.

Asked on October 7th, 2025Is it still turtle nesting season in the Torruguera NP?
- Destination Services Costa RicaOperator•Written October 2025
Regarding your question: the turtle nesting season in Tortuguero National Park mainly occurs in September and October, so by mid-November the season has usually ended. However, the park remains a very special destination year-round, ideal for enjoying its canals, rainforest, and abundant wildlife.

Traveler•Written October 2025How do I book Tortuguero NP
- Destination Services Costa RicaOperator•Written October 2025
You'll need to check the dates you wish to travel directly on the website, and we'll verify availability based on that. We also need to know where you'll be staying in San José, so we can arrange your pickup location and confirm where you'd like to be dropped off at the end of the tour. Please note that the turtle watching tour cannot be guaranteed, as it is no longer turtle season.
