Kamers
Verblijf midden in het regenwoud.
-
Economy
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.
-
Standard
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).
-
Superior
A couples-only retreat with a generous sitting area, larger bathrooms, and partial views of the Tortuguero canals. Four rooms across two design styles.
-
Bungalow
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.
Ervaringen
Acht manieren om de wildernis in te trekken.
-
-
water
Boat tour
A guided motorboat tour through Tortuguero National Park canals — the easiest, broadest way to see the canopy from the water.
-
wildlife
Night hike
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
Tortuguero Hill Hike
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
Canoe
Quieter than the motorboat — paddle the smaller side-canals where engines aren't allowed and wildlife stays put.
-
land
Jaguar Trail walking tour
A guided walk on the Jaguar Trail (Sendero del Jaguar) inside Tortuguero National Park — flat boardwalk and forest path through prime wildlife habitat.
-
water
Kayak
Solo or tandem kayak through the canals — more independence than the canoe, similar wildlife access.
-
water
Laguna del Cuatro — private boat tour
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
Turtle nesting
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
Turtle hatchlings
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
Fishing
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
Massages
Restorative massages in a private garden sala — recovery for a tired body after a long day on the canals, surrounded by forest and birdsong.
Katonga
Katonga — diner op de kanalen.
Onze kenmerkende dinercruise. De zonsondergang boven de Tortuguero-kanalen, een diner op het water, en een natuurgids die u meeneemt terwijl het regenwoud aan zijn nachtploeg begint.
Vanuit de lodge
Een paar momentopnames.
Wat ons anders maakt
Ons kompas
Familiebedrijf sinds 1985, enkel per boot, met natuurgidsen — en duurzaam niet als etiket, maar als het hart van hoe de lodge werkt.

“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.”
Wanneer u er klaar voor bent.
Reserveer rechtstreeks, bespaar tegenover de OTA-prijzen en steun een familielodge die sinds 1985 zorg draagt voor dit stuk regenwoud — de dichtstbijgelegen lodge bij het dorp, en de enige die te voet vanuit het centrum bereikbaar is.
