Tortuguero 360° Experience: Waterways, Wilderness & Nightlife

Tortuguero Triple Adventure: Canoe, Trail & Night Walk Experience

Three unforgettable tours, one full day of discovery in the rainforest.

Ready to experience Tortuguero from every angle? The Triple Adventure is our most complete tour package — combining a serene canoe tour, a guided Jaguar Trail rainforest walk, and a magical Night Walk into one immersive experience.

From morning mist on the canals to sunset in the jungle and glowing eyes after dark, this is the ultimate way to explore Tortuguero National Park.

🛶 Part 1: Canoe Tour Through the Jungle Canals

Start your morning gliding silently through Tortuguero’s peaceful waterways. With no motor noise, you’ll get closer to wildlife like river otters, caimans, herons, and iguanas. Your naturalist guide will help you spot movement in the trees and explain the importance of these canals to the park’s ecosystem.

This is the quietest, most immersive way to begin your rainforest journey.

🌿 Part 2: Jaguar Trail Walk

Next, explore Tortuguero on foot along the Jaguar Trail, named after the elusive big cat that roams this region. As you walk through dense jungle, your guide will point out tropical plants, colorful frogs, monkeys, sloths, and countless birds.

You’ll learn how the rainforest works — from its complex ecosystems to its volcanic origins — all while walking at a pace that allows you to take it all in.

🌙 Part 3: Night Walk in the Jungle

As the sun sets, the rainforest changes completely. On your Night Walk, your guide will lead you through a trail alive with sounds — frogs croaking, insects chirping, and the occasional call of a night bird or kinkajou.

You’ll look for red-eyed tree frogs, glowing fungi, spiders, snakes, and other nocturnal life that make this one of the most thrilling parts of the tour.
