On the sun-drenched Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, the remote town of Tortuguero, is a place to let your cares drift away into the ocean waves as you sip on a refresco. But there’s so much to see and do you might not be able to sit still for long.
The national park boasts high rainforests, marshy lands, canals, and is also one of the most important breeding grounds for both the green sea and leatherback turtle. In the nesting seasons (April to May and July to October), it’s possible to see groups of turtles laying eggs in the sand at night. You can also rent a canoe and explore the canal – just watch out for the odd crocodile or two…
Benoit Pigeon Discover Costa RicaThe guide was amazing, the food and hotel were really good. I was expecting to hike in the forest and mountains but it was more of a bird watching tour. So it was zero walking and lots and lots of bird watching standing still for long periods of time. It was not what i was looking for.
Sarah Spicer Discover Costa RicaI did this trip in September 2025 and this is by far the best one I have done so far. This trip shows you how diverse the country is with its different ecosystems and wildlife. From the Caribbean coast over to the Pacific. Everywhere you look there is an abundance of wildlife from the colourful birds and larger mammals/primates right down to the tiny frogs and leaf cutter ants.
Nicole Twomey Discover Costa RicaTwo weeks in Costa Rica getting to explore the country’s most beautiful and diverse sites was one of the most incredible adventures I have been on. The fact that all places are so unique and diverse from one another and getting to see incredible wildlife throughout the trip was fantastic.
