Absolutely fantastic!
I did the village and canoe tours with the guys and was extremely satisfied with both!
Especially the canoe tour, it was probably the greatest experience of my Costa Rica trip. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative. He has such a great passion for what he does and he could pass that to us beautifully.
Also we saw fantastic animals and birds, would def have stayed in Tortuguero longer and done a national park walk too!

Except that the chairs could be a bit more comfy and napkins a bit more luxurious (aligned with the vibe of the restaurant) everything else was impeccable.
Great service, nice ambience/ interior and Devine food.
We took the Tim Raue menu and everything was tasty and up to our expectations.
I would def go there again.

If you stay in Costa Rica longer than 12-15 days, I really recommend passing by Tortuguero.
It’s a bit out of reach if you come from Monteverde or La fortuna (half day trip) or from the west coast but so worth it!
The park access is located in Tortuguero village, which is a cute lil town little with a cool Caribbean vibe.
Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to do the walking tour of the park, but I did the Canoe tour with Roots Tours and it was amazing! We saw a lot of animals and wonderful birds and we got a lot of insights from our knowledgeable guide.
Totally worth the detour from La fortuna to Puerto Viejo!
Please note that to enter the park you need to purchase a 16$ ticket (valid both for canals and walking tour).

Beautiful place to visit and quite a challenging hike too.
Be prepared to wear waterproof clothes in case it rains which is not uncommon in this area of Costa Rica.
Also check weather before going, if you are unlucky you might miss the blue water.
