Amazing experience! We... - Amazing experience! We were lucky to see a turtle nest and then go back in the sea. I must see and do for every one that comes to Costa Rica.

Night Tour Turtles - We had an unparalleled experience! Lili our guide taught us to respect the moment by giving us valuable information, we saw the turtle spawn, camouflage its nest and slowly accompany it on its return to the sea.As an extra bonus casually the turtle unearthed a nest and we saw the turtles born and walk to the sea😍 I loved the organization and care towards the turtles 💚

Great experience - It is quite a long walk and if you are not used to the humidity it can be difficult, it was for my husband and myself. We are not use to that type of humidity if this would have been during the day we probably would not have been able to complete the tour. It was a great experience and worth it to us, but we will not be able to do this tour again. Our guide was really great and was very knowledgeable, explaining everything to us including history of the Green Turtles and all the threats they face

Night turtle trip - You go out at night without electronic devices (camera, mobile phone, etc.) and wait for the spotters to tell you where you can see the turtle while it lays eggs and covers its nest

Maravillosas tortugas - Everything was great, the amazing guide!! They helped us manage a taxi boat so we could travel from the hotel to the pier. We watched the whole turtle process and learned a lot. It is important to know that the time of the excursion cannot be said until 17 on the same day of the tour, for reasons of the nature park, from the agency they notify you immediately to be able to plan. A great choice.

Just amazing - We did 3 tours and each one was brilliant. Lily was great on the turtle tour, Sandy on the morning boat tour and Louis on the night walk. All such amazing experiences. Special mention to Louis who found two sloths on the night walk. They also looked after us to ensure we got a water taxi back. Brilliant tour company with fab communication from start to finish.

Incredible. - Our guide Lily was fantastic. She was cheerful and knowledgable. She kept us informed of what was happening and was really passionate about the welfare of the turtles. There were a lot of groups heading out but it felt well choreographed to minimise disruption for the turtles. We were very lucky and witnessed a beautiful turtle laying eggs and then covering them. We also saw a turtle returning to the sea and one emerging to walk up the beach. A real privilege and experience of a lifetime. Thank you Lily and all the park rangers.

Great experience and what to know before you go. - We were very lucky and saw a mother turtle laying eggs on the beach. That experience was what we signed up for and made the excursion for us. Some things we wish we knew beforehand: the timing of the tour is at the discretion of the National Park and can be anywhere between an 8pm and 10pm start. We had a 9:30pm start and after walking in the dark to the location (about 2 miles) we made it to the beach at 11pm and didn't make it back until after midnight. The bugs were out and pants and longsleeves are highly recommended.

Once in a lifetime experience - Seeing sea turtles nest at night was such an incredible experience! Our guide Carlos was so knowledgeable and we witnessed a huge green turtle laying her eggs, then camouflaging them and going back into the ocean. Truly a magical experience!
