Canoe Tour in Tortuguero National Park
Description
On this tour, you will put aside your worries, you will relax and enjoy the immensity of the very humid tropical forest of Costa Rica. 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.

Itinerary
During the Canoe 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.

We did the canal tour in Tortuguero with Andy (Pura Natura). He helped us see the animals and explained everything in an enjoyable and fun way. A highly recommendable experience to have if you come to this area.
Andy is a great professional and the experience is unique, totally recommendable.
In fact we took a shared boat, not a canoe, during our exploration of Tortuguero's large and small canals. Late we also took the National Park wald - both with Daniel as our guide. We must tell you all that Daniel was an EXCEPTIONAL GUIDE! Highly knowledgable and quick to spot things. He also helped us to record far-away sightings with hos telescope and mobile phone attachment. His English is very good - very easy to understand him. But Daniel also went further for us. We live in Israel and my wife forgot her reading glasses in the hotel. Daniel collected them and tried to find every possible way to post them to us back home - but all options were too expensive. Then he suggested finding other visitors (coming later to Tortuguero from Israel) and giving the glasses to them with our phone number. He simply never stopped trying to find a solution. This is the high-quality person that Daniel is! So try to seek out Daniel when you come to Tortuguero. he makes all the difference!!
It was fantastic! Out early with a fun guide to spot the most beautiful animals. We have therefore seen many beautiful animals thanks to the guide.
We were with Andy and it was wonderful, we have seen alligators, birds, monkeys and a unique landscape. You can also paddle, so it is also a good activity to exercise the body. Before you leave, they give you coffee, juice and fruit. Highly recommended if you come to Tortuguero.
Spectacular experience, Warren our guide is passionate about his work, knows all the species of animals and their characteristics and explains everything about Costa Rica, we saw many different species and entering the national park is an adventure, everything super different as we know it
Recommended 100%. Our guide Warren is a crack. Very friendly, explains absolutely everything, is very attentive to us... the experience was great, you see many animals (all kinds), you do a little sport, it is all amazing. The pity is that this is not a time of turtle spawning, otherwise, incredible.
The canoe tour was great! We were traveling with Andi and we liked Mega!
Incredible experience with Warren on the canoe. Saw so many birds including Toucans and reptiles including a Caiman and Basilisk "Jesus Christ" lizards🥰
A very good choice with Warren, we could see bcp of animals, it is a very listening guide, telling in red thread the history of the park, attentive to all and warm, in short, I highly recommend
