I am Bony Scott and I have lived in Tortuguero for 22 years, completely dedicating myself to tourism in areas such as sports fishing and canoe tours where we offer the visitors the opportunity to learn about our plants and animals within Tortuguero National Park.
Also during the turtle season of reproduction, we organize nighttime tours to observe their activity within the Park.

Additionally, we offer travel information, water and land transport services and rental boats for your pleasure along the rivers and canals.

In my experience as a guide, I have dedicated myself to the observation and protection of the manatee in the zone of Tortuguero.

It is my pleasure to share my professional experience with you in Spanish, English or Italian.

For the best in biologically oriented tours:
