5.00First of all, you have to know that this is not a zoo, but a national park. Nevertheless, we have seen a lot of birds, reptiles and monkeys. The guides Adrian and Kevin are super likeable people. They made this tour (canoe / nightwalk) and the experience on Tortuguero a special experience for us. We are very happy to have chosen Sambola Tours. We can highly recommend you.
Amazing!

5.00We did this tour on a rainy morning. Our guide was amazing at finding us a dry spot to wait out the rain, and then we saw lots of wildlife! We went with young kids and they had a lot of fun.

5.00What a fantastic experience! We were the first to leave and started the canoe trip through the park in peace – a magical start to the day. Kevin was a great guide: calm, knowledgeable and with an eye for nature. Especially the small side canals were breathtakingly beautiful: a true paradise full of birds, sounds and light. We thoroughly enjoyed the silence, the surroundings and the fine Mood. An absolute must for those who really want to experience Tortuguero. Thank you, Kevin! Pura Vida!
Fun tour

5.00We were so thrilled to take a kayak tour through the canals in Tortuguero. We were able to get into small areas that other boats could not reach. We also took a night tour and a day jungle walk tour with them, and all were excellent. Adrian was our guide on the walking tours, and Daniel led our kayaking excursion. We saw so many animals due to their keen eyes! They are a family run business, and a pleasure to work with. They make the process very smooth and easy and provide everything you need.
Really great!

5.00We did the canoe tour and the Nightwalk, guided by Adrían. Really great, everything super arranged. Adrian sees everything, no animal remains unseen. Adrian thanks!
