When's the best time to visit Tortuguero?

July through October brings nesting sea turtles, which is a main draw-but it's also green season with heavy rain. December through April is drier and still excellent for wildlife. Check before you go to confirm turtle nesting status, as it varies year to year.

How do I actually get to Tortuguero?

You'll arrive by boat (usually from La Pavona pier) or fly into the small airstrip. Many visitors arrange private transfers from nearby airports like Liberia. Once there, you're in a town where boats and feet are your transport-no cars allowed.

Are guided tours worth it here?

Yes. The guides know where animals hide and can tell you what you're really seeing. Most people book multi-day packages bundling canoe tours, hikes, and night walks rather than booking single tours.

What's usually included in these activity packages?

Breakfast is common. Beyond that, packages typically cover your guide, boat or canoe transport, and entrance to trails or national park areas. Check what's included with each operator before booking.

Is Tortuguero accessible for families with kids?

Canoe and kayak tours work well for families, and the slower pace suits children. Jungle hikes and night tours depend on your kids' age and stamina-ask the operator about what's realistic before you book.

How far ahead should I book?

During turtle nesting season (July-October) and holidays, book 2-4 weeks out if you want flexibility in timing. Shoulder seasons are easier to book last-minute, but check before you go.
