Lovely Eddil made me feel at home straight away. She helped me organise affordable transport to her hostel and my onward travel. She is incredibly friendly, picked me up from the harbour, and also arranged 3 tours including a turtle nesting tour. The hostel has all you need for a basic stay. It was clean, had comfortable beds, and I felt safe at all times. Eddil was always on hand to help with any questions I had. The breakfast is also delicious!

Wonderful for wildlife watching! Getting to and from Tortugero was easier than I expected. We saw so much wildlife here, even in the town itself! Everybody was so friendly. Visiting Tortugero was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica.

2 nights is perfect, I thought maybe it would be too short, but it was perfect...we arrive around 2.30pm and checked in and then enjoyed some food and the beach, and the next day did 2 tours, canoe and turtles which both is a must. Its a fab island, really great people, amazing place...so green, and with children its fantastic. The boat to the Island we saw a crocodile.

The town is ok - plenty of eateries.
The town is ok - plenty of eateries. The accommodation at Cabinas Sports Fishing was wonderful! The early morning boat trip was very enjoyable, as was the Jaguar trail in the National Park. The Budda Cafe has a nice vibe and good food. We were there in April so missed the turtle nesting season but still very much worth a visit!

What a gem.
What a gem. We had three nights here but in hindsight could have done two (a lot of people just do one). Two nights gives you a chance to soak up the atmosphere and explore the village from end to end.
It was an experience getting there - a 1hr boat trip (which can be longer depending on the water levels). On arrival we were surprised at the number of bars and restaurants - a huge variety. Many on the waterfront and how wonderful to have no cars. Our hotel met us at the wharf and transferred our luggage.
The hotels are right amongst the locals houses - so you really get to know the village and can hear all the 'goings on'. Just walking around you see the houses, some of the challenges living there, the flora and fauna.
We did a motor boat tour at 9am - would recommend doing this at 6am as the forest wakes up. Its amazing on the water - seeking the birds close up, camen, monkeys and iguanas. You will see more animals on a tour of the forest but its still worth the experience.
The motor boat tour includes national park entry - but I would recommend using a guide in the park as despite what you think its really hard to spot animals without the 'experienced eye'; and of course its their livelihood. I also did a night tour - there were a lot of other night tours - we walked along the route to the airport so it didn't feel super secluded - but we did see an armadillo, spiders, a snake, sloth and an iguana. Just goes to show nature is all around us - but again I would never have seen it without the experienced guide.
Overall its quite an experience and would suggest Tortuguera is a 'must have' on a Costa Rica itinerary.

Loved the fact that the boat dropped us off at the hotel's dock and picked us up here as well. Checkin was a breeze but make sure you have the cash to pay for the room and any tours. Canoe/boat tours, day hikes, night walks were arranged by the hotel in advance for very nominal rates. The tours start right at the hotel and hence very convenient.
The hotel sits on the banks of the river and the views are lovely especially during dusk and dawn. We experienced torrential rain one afternoon and during the night. The rain in the afternoon did not last long. The canals are accessible by boat, canoe and kayaks. Tortuguero is laid back and a nice place to wind down and experience time float by.
Great place to see Great Green Macaws fly by during dawn and dusk. We also saw the last of the turtle hatchings make their way to the sea. Wonderful sight to experience. The town and beach are easily accessible. The canals are teeming in wildlife. We saw green basilisks, iguanas, jacanas, toucans, caimans, herons and monkeys (howler, spider and capuchin). On the night walk we saw frogs (Savage's bullfrog, red-eyed tree frog, some snakes, and a sloth at close range.
The hotel staff were nice. The free breakfast was an added bonus. Laundry service was available for a fee. The town was easily accessible by foot. Local food at the sodas was fulfilling. Overall a wonderful experience!

It was like going to the Amazon River and experiencing wildlife and diversity. It was a multi cultural place with a taste of how locals villagers live , ocean access, river access and the best part is watching conservation of turtles. Turtle night tour is a must do!!?
- super friendly and welcoming owners
- amazing breakfast (they even gave me a takeaway breakfast on the day of my departure)
- very clean and comfortable room(s)
- comfortable, new mattresses
- good location right be the docks (where all the kayaking / canoe-tours start) in the centre of Tortuguero village
- close to the beach
- close to the National Park entrance
Location was good in the edge of the national park, where we could see the wildlife. It was clean and kitchen facilities were good. They cleaned whilst we were there and the owner was very responsive when we needed help. We were met at La Pavona boat service and guided to the house in Tortuguero which was helpful.
The locaion. The sound of the ocean and the birds make you feel OK immediately at Costa Rica. There is a relaxing vibe throughout the (small) archipel From the parking lot to the arrival you are followed carefully byt the staff. Food is OK and affordable for such a tourisitc hub.
