Book Now and pay in cash at your arrive.
Unleash your adventurous spirit and explore the pristine waterways of Tortuguero National Park on a Kayak Tour, where every stroke brings you closer to the heart of Costa Rica’s wild beauty. Known as a "jungle paradise," Tortuguero’s intricate network of canals winds through lush rainforests, offering an unparalleled way to immerse yourself in the park’s breathtaking biodiversity.
With the freedom and maneuverability of a kayak, you can navigate narrower, quieter channels that larger boats can’t reach. Drift silently beneath towering trees as playful spider monkeys swing overhead, or catch a glimpse of an otter slipping gracefully into the water. The park’s calm, glassy waters are teeming with life—look out for caimans resting along the banks, vibrant poison dart frogs hiding among the leaves, and tropical birds like jacanas, toucans, and green macaws gracing the skies.
Tour Highlights:
Hands-On Adventure: Kayaking puts you in control, offering a more intimate and active way to explore Tortuguero’s hidden gems.
Wildlife Up Close: The quiet approach of a kayak means you can get closer to the park’s diverse wildlife without disturbing them.
Serene Surroundings: Enjoy the tranquility of the rainforest as you paddle at your own pace, soaking in the sounds of nature.

Keep Your Eyes Peeled: The best wildlife moments often come in fleeting glimpses—a turtle slipping into the water or a kingfisher darting past.
Be Ready for Rain: A light rain jacket can come in handy during brief tropical showers, which only add to the magic of the experience.
