Just do it!

Very good communication via WhatsApp with Brandon, a lot of rain fell for the tour, this postponed slightly. (30 min). Nice stories, relaxed and really trying to find some animals and birds. We enjoyed it despite the rain.

Pure nature and enjoy the wildlife

We did both the night tour and the canoe tour with Brandon. Brandon was a super good guide, could immediately spot many animals, gave a lot of explanations and knew unique places. Highly recommended for those who want to explore Tortuguero.

An unmissable experience.

It was fantastic to canoe down the canals and discover caimans right next to us. To hear and see toucans, pendulas and lots of other birds. In short, a wonderful moment that will leave us with memories for the rest of our lives.

Overall great experience

A beautiful, calm and quiet canoe tour. We booked at 9am because we didn’t stay in Tortuguero and the first ferry leaves at 6am, which is the earliest option of the tour. Brendan was a great, knowledgeable guide that has lived in Tortuguero most of his life. He speaks excellent english and even knows some dutch words (even for some species of animals(!) We saw plenty different animals including caymans and kingfishers.
