Amazing experience - Pablo is a very friendly guide, the kayak tour was great - we saw many animals (caïmans, iguanes, turtles, birds..). We even went into the mangrove, magic moment! Would definitely recommend :)

5-STAR AMAZING canoe experience with the best guide ever - Wowwww, our family of 5 from Chicago had high expectations...and this trip exceeded them all. The power boat ride from Pavona Harbor to Tortuguero was amazing & full of wild life...but our 6-person canoe ride was UNBELIEVABLE - - and was capped off with a family of wild monkeys high up in the trees. I 100% recommend this tour & only wish we had stayed the night for the night hike.

Excellent Tour! - Pablo is excellent Person and Guide!, from the first moment he was attentive to help, long before he had hired his tour, he was always attentive, clear and honest, without pressure and without second intentions. I was very comfortable, it makes you feel the hospitality and closeness Latin American with its good treatment. The tour was fantastic, they took us (Him and his "mae" Nelson) through the narrowest and most beautiful canals of the place, without rush, with enough time to enjoy. The tour was very early (6 am) on the way back I went to breakfast at Nelson's family restaurant, a typical "Pinto Rooster" with ranch eggs; where I felt at home! Beautiful family atmosphere. Hug Pablo...

Amazing guide and great tour - One of the best tours of our Costa Rica trip! The canoe trip through the Tortuguero canals was amazing. We saw so many animals including caimans, monkeys, sloths, toucans, birds, fish and spiders, all in their natural habitat and in their most active hours. We went through both the larger canals and the smaller, hidden ones. The surroundings, vegetation and atmosphere in the morning were also incredible. The guide was super friendly, knowledgeable and really passionate about the wildlife. He gave us lots of time for photos and made the whole experience relaxed and interesting. Do not miss this one if you visit tortuguero!

A guide who makes you feel like your true friend - I can only say that it was a truly magical, interesting, fun and above all unforgettable tour and thanks to our guide Pablo. We didn’t know what we were going to Tortuguero or where to start, since Pablo contacted me it was a step by step guide in all our questions. Without a doubt your Pablo was one of the reasons why our trip to Costa Rica has been so unforgettable!

The best way to discover Tortuguero - A magnificent experience, Pablo gave us all kinds of details about the spectacular fauna and flora of Tortuguero. It is rating that he has extensive knowledge and that he knows how to transmit them. It was certainly a very rewarding experience

Amazing canoe tour of Tortuguero - Pablo was very close to it as well as professional. I use the time necessary for us to enjoy the experience to the fullest, your explanations were clear and interesting. We enjoyed a pleasant canoe tour of Tortuguero on par with what we saw and learned about a lot of animals. I thank Paul for the experience. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this tour! - Me and my family booked Pablo as our guide. We toured the national park waterways and jungle (a highlight of the trip) where we saw four caymen, many birds, sloth and spider monkeys. He was a great, knowledgeable guide.

Calm and flexibility describe well our general experience - Originally I booked in French, but due to a change in schedule, no guide available, so in English in the end, which is our downside with some stress because no clear meeting point .. But Pablo was super sympathetic with us and agreed to take us whenever we could. He managed to show us all what we wanted to see. As a bonus we had the channels to ourselves!
