Tortuguero National Park Tours & Trips
On Costa Rica’s Caribbean side, Tortuguero is reached mainly by boat, showing you the beauty of the area. Narrow canals wind through the forest, and small lodges sit along the banks. The village itself stays quiet, with a few streets and simple restaurants. Trails run into the jungle, where wildlife moves through the trees and along the water. Are you ready?

It was a wonderful 3-day trip to the world of Tortuguero Laguna Lodge. The lodge and the service were excellent. Our tour guide, Walter, did a fantastic job. The only thing we didn't like was the transfer to and from the lodge. We had to take a taxi each way from our hotel, Vilas del Rio, to the Wyndham Garden pick-up point. A direct pick-up would have been possible given the traffic situation. That's why we're deducting one star.

Tour was more people than advertised and all the activities mentioned in the initial brochure were not readily available on the tour. The conditions and meal options were great.

Jorge Loria Zuñiga was a phenomenal tour guide. He went above and beyond to make our trip an unforgettable time. He is incredible at spotting birds, snakes, lizards, sloths, monkeys, and on on with the rich biodiversity that Costa Rica offers. This is the perfect job for this man, the love for his country and what he does shines through everyday, gifting to his entire group the magic that is offered in the beautiful land. Fantastic restaurant recommendations and making you feel like family. We were quite please with wingbuddy, the hotel selections were great. Most of them were small, my husband and I didn't mind this as we were just sleeping in them, we were wanting to be outside and hike as much as possible. The extra excursions may be worth it to add on prior to getting there. All in all the tour was planned well with adequate time in each place. You see so much of the country with this tour. We were quite lucky to have a great group that we all got along well with eachother. Again Jorge with costa rica hidden treasures (wingbuddy Im assuming contracts through this tour company) was the heart of this trip going so splendidly.
