Tortuguero One Day Private Tour From San Jose

In general a good tour. Tour guide and driver are nice people. Food is good. I recommend it to all travelers

An excellent day from hotel pick up to hotel return. Boat ride, lots of wild life, climb to the viewing point, turtle beach and lunch in a local restaurant.

Luis was a fantastic guide. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It was a joy spending the day with him. We saw plenty of wildlife and learned a lot. We highly recommend this tour.

Excellent guide, very informative, very organized, friendly and highly recommended! The reserve provides a great view of animals and life cycle. All was done in spite of road closure, rain, etc! Well done!

Josue Luna was an amazing guide. He stayed with us on the private tour. Easy to hold a conversation with…his English is great. He studied English and then biology. We did not see as many animals as one would hope - but that depends on the day and season so is hit and miss. We saw a red poisonous dart frog, monkeys high in tall trees, various lizards and birds. The private boat ride with a water taxi driver was nice. The driver slowed and pulled over when something of interest was spotted - so we could take photos. The Caribbean traditional lunch was tasty.

We had an absolutely fabulous day with Luis - he loves what he does and it shows. We were able to see a great deal - even he was excited to see a river otter. The tour was perfect - but combined with his knowledge of the animals, it was truly fantastic.

This was an amazing day! Alberto was super fun and friendly. Tortuguero was beautiful. We saw lots of lizards, monkeys, and birds. The lunch was the best we have eaten in Costa Rica

It was wonderful tour. So many interesting and exciting things to see and experience. Alberto was fantastic as a tour guide and driver, great knowledge of flora and fauna and very pleasant personality to spend the day with. Highly recommend to people who appreciate wonderful nature and the great adventure!

We enjoyed the expert guidance of Alberto in orchestrating a memorable day exploring the varied wildlife-birds, monkeys, reptiles and sloths. The round trip boat excursion provided another perspective from the rainforest walk.

Amazing day out! Luis was fabulous , professional, knowledgeable & could answer all of our questions. He speaks fluent English and was very helpful on every topic and question we asked. It was a big day of driving but was very worth it . We saw a sloth, lots of crocodiles, iguanas, birds, spider & howler monkeys. The view at the lookout lovely although it was raining on and off it was still wonderful. The local restaurant lunch was delicious too! Highly recommend this tour.

Alberto provided us with one of the best tours we've ever been on. We drove through the countryside on the way over and he pointed out many features and landmarks to us. At the park we saw lots of birds and animals. Alberto didn't rush us, and pointed out many types of wildlife we'd have never noticed on our own. He even helped us get some great up close photos of them. After all of that, we went to a little restaurant with wonderful authentic Costa Rican food. Great tour with lots of nature. Highly recommend this interesting tour.

What a wonderful experience. Our guide Alberto was a wealth of knowledge about the birds and animals, and he had a keen eye for spotting them! We saw toucans, a type of hawk, a black stork, a sloth, a cayman, the elusive red frog, and other birds. The boat ride down the Tortuguera canal was delightful, thanks to Sebas, our boat driver. We enjoyed a forest walk and climbed at least 100 stairs to a lookout where we could see the Caribbean. We had a delicious lunch in the village of Tortuguera. After lunch, we boated back to the car for the ride home. Many thanks to Alberto and Sebas for a fun, informative time in spite of the afternoon rain, something you learn to expect in the tropics!

Amazing tour! It was the tour guides that really made this the best tour of my life though. They were extremely knowledgeable and did not skip a beat. They took many pictures for me so I was not distracted with my phone out all day. They truely let me enjoy their country to the fullest. I saw so much wildlife and plants I have never seen before and was very impressed. The pictures they took for me on my phone were like something out of a magazine. They really went the full distance. Thank you.

The tour guide made the trip with his Knowledge and insights. We factored in our needs and mobility restrictions and tailored the trip accordingly- would recommend Alberto

Alberto is a gem, and this tour is amazing! The drive is beautiful, the rainforest is stunning, and the food was delicious. We saw a sloth, monkeys, a snake, and even an otter! The walk through Tortuguero gave us an opportunity to get local cuisine and awesome souvenirs. What a wonderful trip!

Our tour guide Alberto and boat driver Miguel were amazing. Both very knowledgeable, we saw so many different animals and scenic areas. We also really enjoyed the drive from San Jose to the boat launch. It was very informative and relaxing

This was a delightful experience that I would repeat again. Our tour guide, Alberto, was high energy and did an excellent job in showing & explaining things.

We are satisfied with this excursion! There were only 2 of us for the day, it was great, plus the weather was on our side! The guide was great!

Very nice experience with Alberto who guided us very well. He has an eye for spotting animals and showing them to us. The problem is that there are many tourists and animals avoid the marked trail. But if the fauna is not always there the flora is fantastic
