We had a great time kayaking within Andy! It was practically a private tour. Andy shared a lot of information on the animals and the surroundings.
The perfect way to meet the wonderful creatures of Tortuguero

My partner and I went on an unforgettable kayaking tour with Gabriel through Tortuguero National Park's canals. We were met with coffee and snacks before setting out in a 2-person kayak. Gabriel introduced us to the park and explained some of the history as we set out to spot some amazing wildlife. Gabriel was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the creatures in the area. We saw howler monkeys, spider monkeys, caiman, toucans, anhinga, 4 different types of heron, plenty of iguanas, and many other spectacular birds! Gabriel had an excellent eye and lots of interesting information to share. The kayak meant we could get up closer to the wildlife than we would have been able to in a motorboat or canoe, and the tour was really peaceful. We were lucky as it was just the two of us with Gabriel, so it felt like a private tour. The cost was good value, although remember that you also need to pay for the Tortuguero National Park admission online ahead of time. Well worth it, and seems like a better way to explore than on foot, as you can get in amongst the trees and canal systems by boat. Highly recommend! We were really glad to have Gabriel as our guide - he's an asset to Tuanis :)

We as a family of 3 had a great experience with our guide, Tivy. We saw lots from a different view point - caiman, sloth, iguana etc. Gentle pace and taking lots in. We were able to access places the motorboats aren’t allowed. Nice place to launch from with toilets and office will look after bags.
