5Great guide and experience!
Karla was a great guide, very informative and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the experience! We were able so enjoy seeing the turtles lay their eggs at a safe and respectable distance.
5Unique & Awesome
The "Night Sea Turtle Nesting Tour" is a unique and must do awesome adventure. Also AWESOME is having Carla as your guide. We are English speakers and Carla led our group of both Spanish and English speakers with ease. My wife had some mobility and balance issues navigating the beach in the dark, and Carla went above and beyond to ensure her safety as well as letting her get to enjoy the tour. I highly recommend Carla based on our fantastic experience with her!
5a wonderful experience
What a great thing to do! getting so close to hatching sea-turtles is really amazing. The excursions to the turtles are oragnized by the national park. You will be assigned to a certain part of the beach and join a few other groups to finally go to the turtles. not extremely private, but still an amazing sight to witness! Karla was great in explaining all the details. go for it, won't regret :)
5Dino was an excellent...
Dino was an excellent guide, he had a good system in making sure everyone could see when we got to the site. He got us there before other groups. He provided good information. Just be aware, when they say torches provided it’s just the guide’s personal torch. If you have a red light torch I’d recommend bringing it, because you won’t get a personal one.
5Amazing experience.
It was an amazing experience for us. And, importantly, the organizers took all possible measures not to disturb the turtles. Strongly recommended.
5Fun, educational, reliable sources, unique experiences
We went with Karla and her mama! They were both fantastic guides, answered all of our questions, and when I asked an obscure question that they did not know answer to already, they asked the local expert (researcher) and then told me. I recommend doing the later tour! Hands down it’s a great experience!

About Tortuguero
Tortuguero is a village and national park on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, cut off from the road network, with jungle canals and nesting sea turtles.
Tortuguero is a small village on a strip of land between the Caribbean Sea and a network of rainforest canals in Limón province. No road reaches it, so boats and small planes are the only ways in. The national park beside it, created in 1975, protects beach, lagoon, swamp and tall rainforest, and it is one of the wettest corners of the country.
