Magical boat tour through the jungle - We did a very impressive canoe trip with Rafa. Just in time at 6:00 in the morning we started three. You quite quickly notice that Rafa, who grew up in Tortuguero himself, does the tour with heart and soul. We first went with an outboard motor to a side arm of the lagoon, then paddled deeper and deeper into the jungle. Not only have we seen many animals, just the quiet gliding and the soundscape of the animals was pure meditation. Other boats, some with 10-20 tourists on board, we had long left behind. Rafa shared his broad knowledge of the flora and fauna. My wife and I would like to thank you again for this great adventure! We would recommend everyone to do this tour.

Very close and personalized great tour where you will see and learn many things - The best experience in Tortuguero. We did a boat tour in which Rafa treated us great. He is a very cheerful and very close person, and adapts to your tastes. We saw many animals and also knew the culture there, as Rafa was explaining everything very well. It is a super recommended and very personalized tour.

Exceptional tours! - Fun, security and a great deal! They are synonymous with Rafa tours. During our stay we enjoyed curious data and very interesting historical information about the area. Rafa’s personal attention, cultural background, knowledge and charismatic personality are truly unique. They convey joy and warmth. If you are looking for adventure, security and also a guide who really knows the history of the place and shows you exotic animals and different sites, you and your family should choose Rafa. He highly recommended his tours: they are pure life!

Exceptional Guiding in Tortuguero - I would like to sincerely thank Rafa in Tortuguero for an outstanding experience! Both the canal tour and the village walk were true highlights. I was especially impressed by how clearly and passionately everything was explained. It was obvious that he has a deep knowledge of the area and a real enthusiasm for the nature and culture of Tortuguero. On top of that, he was incredibly friendly and personable, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I always felt well taken care of and learned so much during the tours. Thank you for this wonderful experience – I would highly recommend this tour and my guide to anyone visiting Tortuguero!
