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?

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.
Tortuguero National Park Tour – 4-Day Independent Adventure - C
Christopher • traveled in May
Alex 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!
Tortuguero Jungle Expedition, Short Break - G
Gail • traveled in October, 2024
This tour was absolutely amazing! It was a Dream Vacation for my husband and I the year we turned 60. We had never travelled to a tropical country together before. The organization of the tours, the customer service, the accommodations, were all outstanding. We have not one bad thing to say. The first part of the tour to La Tortugaro and the Coffee/Cocoa Tour in the Arenal area were the two biggest highlights; but the whole thing, every day, every hour, was amazing! I would do it again in a heartbeat!
