Caimans, Spider Monkeys, Howler Monkeys, snakes, basilisk lizards... we saw an awesome variety of wildlife with Leonardo! We did a complete package of canoe tour, night tour, and nature walk. Leo had an excellent knowledge-base of the local flora and fauna. He did a great job of engaging our kids (6 and 11), and gave them plenty of time to see things in his binoculars. Our favorite was seeing two caimans close-up and fully out of the water. They camouflage so well, we would have completely missed them on our own! Leo is as excited as we are to see the wildlife and share knowledge, and he was able to locate wildlife that other guides were missing. Thank you, Leonardo, for a great visit to Tortuguero! Best of luck this season!

We found Leonardo by the main peer in Tortuguero. From the beginning, he was friendly, informative, helpful and pleasant. We booked the boat tour with him and his communication throughout was very good. He picked us up on time from our hotel and helped to pay for the park passes (as I mistakenly purchased the wrong ones). The tour was unforgettable; not only because of the animals and flora we got to see, but also his attention to detail and knowledge. His English is excellent and he also speaks some German, French and is looking to learn Mandarin. It shows that he loves what he does and it was lovely to see him bring his 14 year old son along to learn the profession. Lastly, he helped us by giving us recommendations on places to eat (we asked) and also helped arrange the “sea bus” to pick us up for a hike we wanted to do. Very happy we found him and highly recommend his tours.

We had an excellent early morning kayak tour with Pablo, a lifetime resident of Tortuguero who loves his work. He was so good we re-booked with him for a nighttime jungle walk (frogs, sloths, snakes and a truly giant iguana!) and a daytime nature hike. Pablo is knowledgeable, professional and never hurried. Out of many guides in Costa Rica, he was one of our favorites because of his deep knowledge of local flora and fauna. If you book a tour, ask for Pablo!

Excellent! One of our favorites in Costa Rica! A very relaxing navigation through the cannal early in the morning, in a unique atmosphere, surrounded by nature and close to plenty of animals. The guide was very helpful and spotted the animals with time to approach without disturbing them. And Leonardo seems to know everybody in town :-) Strongly recommend!
