Summary:
Amazing experience! We were lucky to see a turtle nest and then go back in the sea. I must see and do for every one that comes to Costa Rica.

Summary:
It is quite a long walk and if you are not used to the humidity it can be difficult, it was for my husband and myself. We are not use to that type of humidity if this would have been during the day we probably would not have been able to complete the tour. It was a great experience and worth it to us, but we will not be able to do this tour again. Our guide was really great and was very knowledgeable, explaining everything to us including history of the Green Turtles and all the threats they face

Summary:
We did 3 tours and each one was brilliant. Lily was great on the turtle tour, Sandy on the morning boat tour and Louis on the night walk. All such amazing experiences. Special mention to Louis who found two sloths on the night walk. They also looked after us to ensure we got a water taxi back. Brilliant tour company with fab communication from start to finish.
