    The tour of Tortuguero was a pleasant surprise. Andrea gave us a personal experience, she is knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife of Costa Rica. We saw so much wildlife on our boat and walking tours. The experience that we had on this tour was great from start to finish and I highly recommend this tour for anyone that enjoys nature.

    This tour was great! The pickups were prompt and professional. The itinerary was well communicated. The lodge was great- good variety of food, beautiful pool, clean rooms. This may be due to late booking but I was put with an all Spanish speaking group at Pachira Lodge and while that did have some challenges everyone was very nice and our tour leader Eli made sure I understood all safety tips and interesting things to look out for. I will note some of the optional excursions offered on the tour hosts website were not available, possibly due to seasonality- but I will follow up with them directly. Some things we saw included sloths, iguanas, monkeys, many birds including toucans and macaws, crabs, caiman, fish, and many insects. I would do this tour again!
