Explore Tortuguero National Park on a silent paddle tour. Glide through hidden waterways in a low-impact watercraft, spotting wildlife with a guide.

PRICE: $20
per person

 

Begin your adventure with a short briefing on safety and navigation. As you enter the natural canals, the atmosphere transforms: distant howler monkeys echo across the canopy, herons stalk quietly along the edges, caimans move silently under the surface, and iguanas warm themselves in the morning light.

Navigate on a light, silent exploration vessel. On certain days, routes are taken with electric motor support, allowing smooth, effortless movement. On other days, the tour uses manual paddling, ideal for narrow sections and calm, reflective canals.

Your guide selects the best method each day to ensure a responsible, comfortable, and high-quality wildlife experience. Both methods allow for a calm approach, perfect for observing monkeys, iguanas, basilisks, caimans, sloths, toucans, kingfishers, and countless other rainforest species.

Your guide will help you read the rainforest—its sounds, its movements, and its hidden details—bringing you into a world most people never truly see.
