Chambres
Our entry-level category — a simple, comfortable base for guests on a tighter budget. All Economy rooms share the same layout; only the bed configuration changes.
One step up from Economy — recently renovated rooms with the same screened-wall design and a more comfortable finish. Two bed configurations: one king (up to 2 guests), or two queens (up to 4).
A couples-only retreat with a generous sitting area, larger bathrooms, and partial views of the Tortuguero canals. Four rooms across two design styles.
The best room in the house. A standalone couples-only bungalow with lush gardens, partial canal views, and direct access to our riverfront sunset platforms.
Expériences
Signature
Le seul restaurant flottant navigable du Costa Rica — un menu quatre services du chef pendant que vous naviguez sur les canaux de Tortuguero.
water
A guided motorboat tour through Tortuguero National Park canals — the easiest, broadest way to see the canopy from the water.
wildlife
A short boat ride from the lodge to our private reserve, then a guided walk after dark. Less about what you'll spot than about what it feels like — the rainforest at night, all around you.
land
A guided climb up Cerro Tortuguero — an extinct volcano, and one of the few on this side of the country — for a spectacular Caribbean panorama, with rainforest flora and fauna along the way.
water
Quieter than the motorboat — paddle the smaller side-canals where engines aren't allowed and wildlife stays put.
land
A guided walk on the Jaguar Trail (Sendero del Jaguar) inside Tortuguero National Park — flat boardwalk and forest path through prime wildlife habitat.
water
Solo or tandem kayak through the canals — more independence than the canoe, similar wildlife access.
water
A private half-day into a hidden corner of Tortuguero: by boat from Mawamba to a remote lagoon, a wood-fired Caribbean welcome with a local family, and kayaking on still water. Available from June 15.
wildlife
A night on the protected beach to witness a green sea turtle nest, on the same sand where she was born — the experience that gave Tortuguero its name. Protection first; a sighting is never guaranteed.
wildlife
Not a tour — a free, do-it-at-your-own-pace moment. Being right on the beach at Mawamba means you can simply walk out at the right hour and watch hatchlings find the sea.
water
Sport fishing in Tortuguero's fresh-water canals — snook and tarpon the main catch. Run by local fishing experts; we arrange it for you. Catch-and-release encouraged.
wellness
Restorative massages in a private garden sala — recovery for a tired body after a long day on the canals, surrounded by forest and birdsong.

Depuis le lodge
Ce qui nous distingue
En famille depuis 1985, accessible uniquement en bateau, guidé par des naturalistes — et durable non comme étiquette, mais comme le cœur du lodge.

“Great lodge with wildlife all around. Great breakfast. An easy walk to town and the national park to really get a feel for the area and to have different options for dinner etc.”
