Canoe Tour - Tortuguero Canals
Glide silently through nature's waterways
If you want to experience Tortuguero in its purest form, this is your tour. Navigating the park's canals by canoe feels like stepping into a live nature documentary: silence, rainforest, water, and wildlife all around. We will paddle through both main and secondary canals of Tortuguero National Park, surrounded by a thriving ecosystem. From the canoe, you can spot birds like herons, toucans, and kingfishers, as well as iguanas, caimans, monkeys, sloths, and, with a bit of luck, even otters. All in a serene environment, without engine noise, where the only soundtrack is the sounds of the tropical forest. This is the most authentic and peaceful way to explore the rainforest.

For those seeking more adventure, this is the plan. Kayaking lets you explore the canals of Tortuguero at your own pace, reaching smaller, more hidden corners of the rainforest. An active, silent, and nature-filled experience. Paddle through the National Park canals and truly feel part of the environment. Encounter monkeys, sloths, iguanas, toucans, caimans, and exotic birds while enjoying a deep connection with the rainforest: listen to its sounds and lose yourself in its calm.
