Tortuguero National Park Local Boat Rides Tours 2024/2025

“The drivers and guides were mostly exceptional, especially Dany and Felipe. Joe at La Selva, Sebastian in Tortuguero, Jesus at Monteverde and Jose at Corcovado were also brilliant guides. We were less impressed by those on the Cano Island snorkeling trip and didnt like the Arenal guide asking for tips on both trips (we would voluntarily). Accommodation was very nice, especially Cala Lodge, Las Caletas and Suria. We were impressed with the itinerary, the organisation/timings and all the bookings were fine. Some questions were asked about the return boat vouchers to Sierpe when they requested cash however this was resolved. The only place we wouldnt return to is Dominical as it didnt have the same safe and friendly feeling. Overall we really enjoyed it and hope to come back to Costa Rica and would use GWA again.”

“We had a lovely welcome by Felipe and found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the country including the plants, birds, wildlife, politics, etc. He didn't try and rush us and always happy to answer any questions. Couldn't have been more helpful and enthusiastic. Also Paulo from Arenal Star was extremely helpful and stopped for bird watching or frogs whenever he saw something he thought we would enjoy”

“The tour was well thought out, with a nice blend between activities and relaxation. We stayed in 6 different locations and each provided something unique and enjoyable. It is hard to pick top highlights of the tour as there were so many.. which is testament to the tour and hence recommend it highly. All the were all at least good and some very nice (particularly los lacos in arenal). Transfers between the locations were efficient and takes a lot of stress off the experience.”
