Tortuguero Duo Adventure: Canoe Tour + Your Choice of Jungle Walk
Two unforgettable experiences, one customizable rainforest adventure.
Discover the best of Tortuguero with the Duo Adventure, a flexible two-part experience that blends quiet canal exploration with your choice of a guided Jaguar Trail Walk or Night Walk. Perfect for travelers who want to connect with both the water and the forest, this combo offers a full picture of the rich biodiversity Tortuguero is known for.
🛶 Part 1: Canoe Tour Through the Jungle Canals
Start your morning gliding silently through Tortuguero’s famous canals in a traditional canoe. With no motor and no rush, you’ll get closer to nature than on any boat. Spot caimans resting along the banks, monkeys swinging in the trees, and birds like herons, toucans, and kingfishers along the way.
Your local guide will help you interpret every sound and movement, giving you a deeper connection to this incredible environment.
🌿 Part 2: Choose Your Path
Option 1: Jaguar Trail Walk (Daytime)
Explore the rainforest on foot as you follow a trail named after one of Costa Rica’s most elusive animals. This walk winds through primary forest and swampy lowland terrain where you might see colorful frogs, sloths, monkeys, or even jaguar tracks. A great option for those who want to stretch their legs and learn more about the park’s terrestrial ecosystem.
Option 2: Night Walk (Evening)
Experience the magic of the jungle after dark. Armed with a flashlight and your guide’s sharp eyes, you’ll search for red-eyed tree frogs, glowing fungi, tarantulas, and other nocturnal creatures that only come out once the sun sets. This is Tortuguero’s wild side at its most mysterious.
