Activity Level

Duration
3:00 Hours
Enjoy the exotic flora and fauna of the Tortuguero Canal region, also known as Costa Rica's ‘Amazon’.
Following a 25 minute coach ride from the pier to a private dock in Moin, you’ll board a jungle boat that is specially designed to cruise through the jungle canals, in comfort. These canals are part of a river system which runs parallel with Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
The Tortuguero Canals are known as Costa Rica’s ‘Amazon’ due to the surrounding rainforest. The heavy annual rainfall fills the area with an extremely rich flora and fauna. You can see orchids and water lilies, and you may spot birds, monkeys, crocodiles, sloths, and toucans in this unique system of natural and man-made canals, used as waterways for transportation and exploration. Wonderful views of the lush jungle foliage mirrored in the canal’s waters will delight your eyes. Wave to the friendly locals in their dugout canoes and watch women scrubbing their laundry at the river’s edge, while children swim along the banks or dive from tall trees.
After this exciting boat tour, enjoy complimentary ice-cold water and packed snacks.
