Awesome adventure!

Published on Feb, 2025

Such a fun trip! Norton was knowledgeable and friendly. We saw sloths, howler monkeys, caimans, and all the birds you could dream of. I felt perfectly safe as a solo female traveler.

Tour with Don Chico

Published on Feb, 2025

The best experience we had in Costa Rica. The guide was amazing, willing and very nice. I would definitely recommend it.

Family trip

Published on Jan, 2025

We loved this tour. We went at 6AM on New Year's Day. Our tour guide Eric was awesome. We even rescued a dog that had swam into the river because of the previous nights fireworks. We loved being in the canoe because it was so quiet.. I preferred the experience to a boat with an engine. Tortugero is a wonderful place to see the wildlife of Costa Rica as a family. They had really good sized buoyancy aids for our children aged 2&5 Thank you Dom chico for a wonderful family exy

A great tour for our family

Exciting tour. Erick our guide was awesome. We saw caiman, monkeys, a snake and numerous birds. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing!

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour exceeded our expectations. The canals are magical with an abundance of wildlife to be seen. However, without Nortons' knowledge and expertise, we would have missed most of it! If we had another day, we would have done it all over again and would have loved to complete a trek in the park, definitely with Norton as a guide!
