Client comments and reviews

Open QuoteThe best part was Tortuguero. The location was great, and again, we had a really excellent guide for the two boat trips and also the turtle nesting night. Wildlife extended into the hotel grounds, with howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, parrots etc. The forest walk was impressive too, with rather a lot of poison arrow frogs.Close Quote - JJ (September 2019)
