Activity itinerary

Tree Coffee House

  • 15m
Start your day at 5:45 a.m. at Tree Coffee House, just steps from the main dock. Enjoy a fresh cup of Costa Rican coffee or tea while the jungle slowly awakens around you. Meet your guide, receive your binoculars and dry bag, and get ready for an unforgettable morning.

Tortuguero National Park

  • 2h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
At 6:00 a.m., glide silently into the narrow rainforest canals of Tortuguero National Park in a stable paddle canoe with backrests. With just 8 guests per group and a certified naturalist by your side, you’ll explore wildlife-rich channels where motorboats can’t go. Spot caimans, monkeys, toucans, kingfishers, herons, and more—every tour is unique. Your guide will help you read the rainforest: from distant bird calls to subtle animal movements.

Tortuguero (Pass by)

Around 8:30 a.m., return to the main dock feeling calm, connected, and inspired. Whether you head back to your hotel or continue exploring the village, this peaceful experience will stay with you long after the paddle ends.
