Description
The first activity is a tour to see the spawning of the Green Turtle. For this activity, there are 2 times: the first is from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM and the second is from 10:00 PM to 12:00 AM. These times are chosen by the National Park in an electronic lottery. To find out which time you have been assigned, you must go to the Tuanis Tour office located 50 meters south of the main pier in Tortuguero between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM, and there you will be given the details of the time assigned to you. For this activity, it is very important to wear dark clothing, closed shoes, and mosquito repellent. In case of rain, you must bring a raincoat. In addition, all technological devices are prohibited. The second activity is the canoe tour. This activity starts at 6 AM, but you have to be there 10 minutes early because there's a small snack consisting of coffee or tea, cookies and fruit. This activity lasts an average of 2 hours and 45 minutes, and it's for seeing animals such as alligators, iguanas, birds, and some mammals. After the canoe tour, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast at our office. The third activity is a hike in the national park on the Jaguar Trail. This activity begins at 11:00 AM and lasts for 2 hours. In this activity, it's very common to see white-faced monkeys, snakes, birds, and sloths. You can do all the activities on the same day, or the other option is to take the turtle tour the first night and the next day take the canoe tour at 6:00 AM and then the hike in the National Park at 11:00 AM. If you want to continue enjoying Tortuguero, we also give you 2 hours of free kayaking. All activities start at the Tuanis Tour office located 50 meters south of the main pier in Tortuguero.Includes
