Discover one of Costa Rica’s most unforgettable natural events with our Tortuguero turtle nesting tour, designed for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, families, couples, and travelers looking for a shorter but well-organized sea turtle and rainforest experience.
This 2-day / 1-night Tortuguero turtle nesting tour combines scenic land and boat transportation, comfortable lodging, breakfast, expert-guided activities, and the opportunity to experience the famous Tortuguero Sea Turtle Nesting Season, one of the most remarkable wildlife events on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
Explore Tortuguero Village, learn about local conservation efforts at the Sea Turtle Conservancy, enjoy a guided rainforest experience, and join a responsible Turtle Nesting Tour with authorized local guides during the nesting season.
This seasonal tour includes transportation, lodging, breakfast, guided canoe tour, entrance fees, and the turtle nesting tour, while giving you the flexibility to enjoy lunches and dinners at local restaurants in Tortuguero Village.
One of the biggest advantages of booking our Tortuguero turtle nesting package is that transportation is already included.
Tortuguero is not a regular drive-in destination. Travelers cannot drive directly into Tortuguero Village because there are no roads connecting the village with the rest of the country. Access is mainly by boat or small plane.
Travelers who arrive with a rental car must leave the vehicle in a parking lot at La Pavona for the number of nights they stay in Tortuguero. This means paying parking fees and leaving the car unused during the entire visit.
With transportation included, you avoid unnecessary parking costs, unused rental car days, and the stress of coordinating land and boat transfers separately. This makes the experience easier, more efficient, and especially convenient during the busy turtle nesting season.
