MORE INFORMATION

Tour description:

The tour starts at our office, located on the main street, 50 meters south of Tortuguero main wharf. After a cordial welcome you will proceed to check in with one of our hosts while enjoying a coffee and a snack.

Before leaving, you will receive a generalized explanation of the activity. Then we will go to the dock of our office to board the canoe and start the tour.

During the tour, you will be able to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Tortuguero wetland. In addition, we will have the opportunity to observe the representative fauna of the area as they are: alligators, many birds, basilisks, monkeys, sloths, among other species. The biodiversity in this type of forest is very abundant, however, we know that animals are in their natural habitat and we depend totally on what nature allows us to appreciate. The guide will take a tour of the channels, sharing information and showing the secrets that are hidden in it.

Once the tour is finished, we will disembark at the same starting point, we will listen to your opinions about the activity and we will conclude the tour.

Some important aspects to take into account:

Canoes are small boats. Maximum 8 people per canoe (typical canoe with paddles). It is worth mentioning that it is not necessary to row if you wish, the guide will do it.

We offer 3 different schedules to make the tour, however, we recommend doing the 6:00 am, since at this time the animals are more active and the temperature is the best.

If you carry your camera, do not forget to take something to protect it against water, since the weather conditions are quite unpredictable and it can rain at any time.
