Glide silently through winding canals and experience wildlife from a new perspective

Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica

1 / 5

Glide silently by canoe or kayak through Tortuguero and experience monkeys, caimans and herons in the rainforest up close.

Ce que tu peux vivre ici

You glide by canoe or kayak, silently, through the quiet canals of Tortuguero National Park. Between dense rainforest trees you spot caimans, green iguanas, plumed basilisks, sloths and monkeys. In the treetops and along the banks you see herons, toucans and shimmering birds such as the northern jacana or the Anhinga. The waterways away from the motorboats open up unique perspectives and wildlife sightings – if you pay close attention, you won’t miss a thing.

The paddling tour starts at the main dock in the village of Tortuguero. In the morning or afternoon a certified guide takes you on a 2 to 3-hour route through a maze of canals. In the canoe the guide paddles, while you can focus entirely on watching the wildlife. In the kayak you steer yourself through the network of narrow waterways. Group size varies depending on the craft, life jackets and dry bags are provided. The routes are easy, you only need some previous sporting experience for the kayak.

Ce que les autres disent de Tortuguero Native Guide
Travellers find the tours here very personal and knowledgeable. Local guides know the area well, spot lots of animals and explain a great deal about flora and fauna. The different types of tour are equally popular and many see them as the highlight of their trip.
Several guests report that they were in very small groups or even alone as a couple or family and appreciated the calm atmosphere. Early-starting tours are common. Some highlight that the guide does the paddling so your hands are free, and that organising everything via WhatsApp and in English works smoothly.
