10/10 experience - Gabriel is a fantastic guide to see Tortuguero with! We were walking without a guide in the national park and saw him doing a fantastic job finding animals. He took time to point them out to us even though we were not with him so we asked if we could join him for the next tours he was doing. It was so worth the money,we saw many sloths, spider monkeys and anteaters during the day. At night we even saw a black & white owl. 10/10 experience

Sloth sighting! - Daniel led us on an immersive night walk that included red eyed frogs, porcupine, many lizards and spiders, vultures, sloths and insects. How he spots them is incredible! Highly recommend Daniel, the unofficial mayor of Tortuguero.

Warren was our guide... - Warren was our guide during the night tour, and it was unbelievable the amount of animals he spotted. Next to all the animals we saw, we learned a lot and not to forget, the fun facts he was able to tell us about the animals. The best end of our visit of Torteguero we could think of.

Beautiful tour with Gabriel - This tour we did with Gabriel and he is there with full enthusiasm. We have seen a lot with and through him. He has a good eye for it. Of course it is nature here and there is no guarantee for anything, but we have come up with a nice yield of pictures here. Everything from frogs to owls and toucans to sloths was there. Big thanks to Gabriel.

Nice experience, equipment to improve - Beautiful evening walk of a couple of hours that allowed us to see many animals, insects and reptiles. Experience to do! The only flaw is that compared to other groups met both the guide and we had low illuminating torches (inferior quality equipment)
