Tortuguero Canals Boat Safari

Glide the jungle canals at dawn to find caimans, river otters, and herons along the banks.

About this tour

We head out early when the canals are still and the jungle is loudest. The boat moves slow on purpose, so you can watch the caimans on the bank, the herons fishing, and the monkeys crossing overhead. In nesting season your guide explains the sea turtles that come ashore here.

Highlights

• Early boat ride through quiet canals
• Caimans, otters, herons, and monkeys
• Calm water, easy for all ages
• Sea turtle nesting info in season
