What To Expect
Your adventure begins in the village of Tortuguero, where your local naturalist guide will give you a brief introduction to the history and culture of the area. As night falls, we walk slowly through town before entering the jungle trail—where nature reveals a whole new side. With the help of flashlights, a spotting scope, and your guide’s trained eyes, you’ll search for colorful frogs, snakes, insects, bats, and even mammals like sloths or armadillos. The experience is rich in wildlife, sounds, and surprises. Our guide always carries a first-aid kit, and safety is a priority. The trail is flat and easy to walk, perfect for travelers of all ages who want a taste of real rainforest adventure.

Jairo is an animal whisperer and will find the MOST to show you!!

5.00Jairo was a genuinely passionate guide who is serious about conservation, nature, and finding interesting things to show us on the tour. He was able to show us all the amazing animals like sloths, spiders, lizards, iguanas, and a frog very up close and personal. His eye for nature helped us see the coolest animals and he had detailed descriptions and answered all the questions we had patiently. He is a consummate professional and you can’t miss a tour with him! Highly recommend!

5.00Jairo shows his competence with passion and finds any small creature up to ant eaters (very rare). Frogs, snakes anything you desire to discover. Enjoy any minute of day and night Tours with Jairo. We will come back for sure.

5.00Jairo has been an amazing guide. We could truly sense his passion for nature and we had the opportunity to see so much in his company: boa constrictor, frogs, monkeys, snakes, sloths, grasshopers, spiders, sleeping tucan ! This is thanks to his very respectful approach, exploring in smaller groups, less noise and light. We can warmly recommended Jairo for this outstanding approach and expertise! Kind regards Pierre and Franca

5.00We did a very nice evening tour with Jairo tonight. He also told us a bit about the history of Tortuguero during the tour which we really liked. Along the way we have seen many different wildlife, from sloths, to snakes, to frogs to various species of spiders. He knew a lot about all these species! We would highly recommend this tour, Jairo is very nice to listen to and it is so nice to see creatures other than those you see during the day.
Highly recommended experience

5.00Truthfully without words!! Jairo welcomed us from the first minute in such a warm and friendly way 🥰. We did the night tour and the canoe tour that were amazing!! The passion that jaro has for nature and animals is admirable, in addition to his knowledge of all the species of animals that we cross and interesting data that make the tours something wonderful!! I definitely recommend the tours and especially that they be with Jairo.

5.00Absolutely fantastic experience, not only did Jairo come to my hotel to pick me up in person before starting the tour and was courteous friendly and experienced but he accompanied me with the experiences of the following day, via WhatsApp support and even personally offered me the best experience I had the next day, in which I met other people and had a fantastic afternoon, I recommend 10/10
