What people love about 3 Day Costa Rica Tours
- Tortuguero National Park Adventure 3D/2N
It was a great experience! We have seen a lot of wildlife by boat and hiking! During the ride to go there already may see a lot of Tortuguero and more! We had a local guide (Kevin) on the island who could tell everything nice! We stayed at Tortuguero Beach and everything was well organized and the staff was friendly!
- Tortuguero: A natural paradise in Costa Rica
Really great tour. Sebastian, our guide, was great and really knowledgeable about everything in the area. The tours were fun and the transportation was really convenient. The trip to the town was ok, it was kind of obligatory. You can do the tours and kayaking in two days though.
This tour was well organised and the activities were excellent for wildlife enthusiasts. Alex, our tour guide, was friendly, informative and took the time to check on us all individually. It is important to check which activities are included in your tour as there are some extra activities available(pay at the hotel). I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica
