Breakfast at the hotel and departure to Tortuguero National Park.
Enjoy a true ecological adventure in one of the most beautiful National Parks in Costa Rica. Leaving early from San Jose, enjoy the journey through the beautiful Braulio Carrillo National Park in route to Guápiles and later to La Pavona, a beautiful dock located right next to the La Suerte River that communicates with the Tortuguero Canals.
Board our covered and comfortable boat for a 60-minute tour along the Tortuguero Canals. Your guide will explain the rainforest ecosystem and point out the places of greatest interest. Be on the lookout for wildlife, including howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, waterfowl, bats, and crocodiles, as well as abundant vegetation.
Upon arrival in the town of Tortuguero, we will have the opportunity to explore this beautiful Caribbean region. As a first activity we will visit Tortuguero Hilll.
Tortuguero Hill has an area of approximately 25 hectares and is the highest point on the entire Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, offering spectacular panoramic views of the forest and the dynamics of canals. In addition, it becomes a micro habitat and refuge for many animal and plant species.
This characteristic means that Tortuguero Hill can offer, in addition to its spectacular views and impressive nature, an experience of Caribbean coexistence in the community of San Francisco, which is located at the foot of Cerro Tortuguero.
After visiting this impressive place, we will visit the lush tropical jungle and visit Caño Palma, where you can enjoy the dense vegetation of this wonderful national park and if nature allows us, observe its rich wildlife.
Once these activities are carried out, our next stop will be the Tortuguero town, with its picturesque Caribbean atmosphere and beautiful colorful houses and shops that invite the visitor to spend a pleasant moment in their community. After lunch we will visit the new and modern facilities of the National Park, which have a beautiful viewpoint of the
lagoon and the forest.
In the middle of the afternoon, we will board our boat again that will transfer us back to La Pavona and where the bus awaits us to return to San Jose.
Your breath-taking, adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel and a relaxing private drive through the wonderful Costa Rican countryside on an air-conditioned transportation and recent model deluxe vehicle or mini bus.
Your guide will point out many sights of interest including coffee plantations, sugar cane and citrus plantations, rainforest, diverse fruit stands and rural farming communities. You will be heading to Fortuna Town, about 2 hours and a half drive from San Jose. Once in Fortuna you will visit Fortuna Waterfall.
Located in the northern lowlands of Costa Rica, the impressive Arenal Volcano is a National Park that is visited by thousands and thousands of tourists due to its beauty and recent past volcanic activity.
Back in the 80´s the volcano was very active, but now has reduced its activity and we could say that it has entered a period of calm. However, the beauty of the Volcano and surroundings are just spectacular.
Once in La Fortuna Town, a sightseeing tour will show you the highlights of the area and its rich diversity of tourist attractions, ecosystems, the lake, culture, customs & traditions of this emblematic town of Costa Rica.

My trip was wonderful -- I can't say enough good things about Mario and his team! I was travelling solo, and they worked with me to customize the itinerary to be exactly what I needed alongside a work trip I had right before. All of the guides and other staff members were very professional, kind, and prepared. Pickups were on time, and even mundane drives were filled with interesting information and good conversation. Special shoutout to Alberto, who took me to Tortuguero and was so knowledgeable about wildlife (and whose keen eyes spotted some spider monkeys on the drive home, enabling us to stop and see them and some howler monkeys). A true highlight! But everyone was wonderful -- definitely recommend.
Exceeded our expectations, well-structured and narrated. Alberto was an enthusiastic guide and pointed out a lot of wildlife that our untrained eyes would have missed. The top-notch company never made us feel rushed and was very patient with questions. Would not hesitate to book with them again! We really enjoyed this week in Costa Rica with Greenway Tours.
The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and detailed in the presentation of the tour. From Arenal to Manuel Antonio Park the journey was fantastic. We really enjoy this week in Costa Rica with Greenway Tours. They were always taking care of my family and the hotels and services first quality. We want to return to Costa Rica with this travel company.
