🦥 Rainforest Walking Safari (11:00 am)
→ slow exploration of the jungle, details, tracks & hidden life
✨ Three ecosystems. One complete experience.
💡 If you only do one… you’re missing 2/3 of Tortuguero
🎟 Important
• Canoe + Walking Safari take place inside Tortuguero National Park
• One ticket covers both (same day)
• Night Safari does not require a ticket
Here’s what travelers are saying about their time with Boa 👇
“Three tours in one day – and I’d do it again!
We did the Night Walk, Canoe Tour, and Jaguar Trail all in one day. Every part felt like a new world. Boa made it easy, personal, and so exciting. We saw red-eyed frogs, monkeys, toucans… it was pure magic!”
