Brandon is amazing. We were with big and divers group. Seniors, adults and small children (4-7 years). Brandon knows a lot and was able to make both our trips memorable. My kids still talk about him and want to take all there friends to Costa Rica to meet Brandon.

We had a great time on a canoe tour with Brandon! He was great with communication for the booking, sent a taxi to pick us up, and pointed out many animals on our tour. He knows a lot about the native species and cares very much about Tortuguero. We had an overall wonderful experience!

We had an unforgettable experience in Tortuguero thanks to Brandon, who was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He organized both our private canoe tour and a night turtle tour, and we couldn’t have asked for a better setup. Brandon is extremely friendly, responsive, and goes the extra mile to accommodate any request. Communication was swift, clear, and professional. The guides he arranged (Lyroid for canoe tour and Marbeli for turtle tour) were deeply knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the incredible nature of Tortuguero. We highly recommend Brandon and his team to anyone visiting Tortuguero. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of professionalism, warmth, and respect for the environment.
Great experience! We saw...

Great experience! We saw iguanas, caimans, howler monkeys, and a wide variety of colorful birds. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We also did a little detour through the jungle, and that was otherworldly!
Great experience!

We did the canoe tour and could see a lot of animals. Brandon explained a lot of things and we did a nice walk and then he sent us some pictures that he had taken. In addition, once the activity ended, he helped us with other things like getting transportation and gave us recommendations. A super friendly guide! I recommend it to everyone

Had the 6 o'clock tour, this is probably where the animals are most active. Brandon was great, seemed very interested, was on time, told quietly, also told about the story of Tortuguero and knew the animals well. We saw many animals and were able to dive into the rainforest, thanks to canoe he was also able to enter a bit of the dense forest from the river. He had binoculars with him and knew English well. In the aftermath, he also sends photos. Highly recommended!
