An unforgettable experience

“We traveled as a family with our children aged 8 and 15, and the experience was unforgettable. We especially recommend the canoe experience. Both Antonio and Carla made everything so easy for us and adapted to our needs at every moment. Pura vida!”

A very special visit to Tortuguero

“Antonio made our trip to Tortuguero so special. Tortutravel delivered everything and more: punctuality, great info and a wonderfully warm, personal touch. You can feel the passion for offering responsible tourism. We did the night tour and the canoe tour, and we saw so many animals. Thank you!”

An amazing experience with Antonio

“His ability to spot wild animals and his knowledge in explaining what we were seeing is astonishing. And just as important: he does it all with a smile. I recommend him with all my heart.”

A magical night

“We absolutely loved the night excursion with Antonio and couldn't be more grateful. He is a true nature lover and passed on all his passion and deep respect for the animals, teaching us fascinating facts. On top of that, we were lucky enough to see plenty of animals.”

An unforgettable experience

“It was a privilege to witness one of the greatest events in life. Our guides Antonio and his wife Carla were incredible. We watched a turtle come ashore, another laying her eggs and a third returning to the sea. An experience we will never forget.”

A canoe excursion through the jungle

“Another amazing experience in which we saw so many animals; Antonio seemed able to spot anything: a caiman, birds, basilisks, a sloth… We ventured deep into the jungle along a narrow side stream, surrounded by trees and vines: a truly unique perspective.”
