Come to discover and explore this land of canals, tropical rain forest and prehistoric sea turtles. On this trip we will kayak the secondary canals in Tortuguero National Park, patrol the beach at night to see the turtles nesting, we will hike Tortuguero Hill and we will have a taste of the Caribbean culture.
The trip starts with a little paddling initiation, we offer you the option of using sea kayaks or come with a guide on a dough out canoe; there is no excuse to not participate and have a great time in the water.
We start early in San Jose, a bus ride through the Braulio Carrillo National Park, Banana plantations and we arrive to our boat, and off we go to Tortuguero; just getting there by power boat is fantastic.
We visit the Turtle research center, we stay in town, and we do lots of kayaking in the canals, best opportunities to see wild life(monkeys, sloths, iguanas, birds and a long etc.)
We use one night for a night hike on the beach, to spot sea turtles laying their eggs, the best time is July-September, although there is always the chance to see a single arrival.
This is a sea kayak expedition that perfectly combines with hikes, the jungle is stunning.
There are no cars, nor roads in this place, only an intricate webbing of jungle canals and tropical rain forest, and us, sitting comfortably in our kayaks.
This is one of the best family in Costa Rica, perfect for the first time paddler, great for couples or your group of friends. From the comfort of your sea kayak or your dough out canoe you will experience a real wild life adventure.
Enjoy the calm waters and the sounds of the forest; we will take care of the rest.
