Tortuguero is one of the best places in Costa Rica to experience nature and wildlife. Since it’s a little bit hard to get to as it sits in the Northern Caribbean with no road access, it takes a good amount of planning.
However, you can book a Tortuguero tour package that includes everything so you don’t have to worry about a thing! These Tortuguero tour packages depart only from San Jose, making it a great first stop after landing at San Jose International Airport.

Pachira Tortuguero Packages Discount FAQ
Where does Pachira pick up and drop off from?
Pachira’s Tortuguero packages are from San Jose only. They can pick up at any hotel in downtown San Jose or surrounding areas. Pachira doesn’t drop off in any other destinations, only San Jose and Guapiles if you plan to pick up your rental car after the trip. If you are picking up your rental car, please write the name of the car rental agency as your drop off location.
Pachira doesn’t pick up at vacation rentals so if you’re staying at one, you will need to find the closest hotel in San Jose to your location. We will inform you if the hotel you are staying at is included in the free transportation zone.
What is the itinerary?
*Please note schedules are subject to change depending on weather and other outside factors but this is the general schedule. For 2 days, 1 night packages, the guided walk is not included and you will do a sunrise boat tour on day2*
Day 1: Travel to Tortuguero from San Jose, check into lodge, visit Tortuguero town. Pick time approximately 530 AM to 630 AM (depends on your hotel).
Day 2: Morning or afternoon boat ride through the national park and then morning or afternoon guided walk through the lodge’s private trails.
Day 3: Travel back to San Jose, arrival time approximately 330 PM.
Please note that the schedule of activities may change depending on weather conditions. If you’re staying for more than 2 nights, then you have the rest of the days to do activities on your own, relax and enjoy the area. You can read our post about our experience in Tortuguero with Pachira for more details!
Can I Add a Turtle Watching Tour to my package?
Yes but you must book it at the lodge when you arrive and pay directly to them. We cannot add it to your package unfortunately. The cost is around $45 USD per person. Just ask the lodge’s front desk or your guide to help you schedule it.
Please note the turtle nesting season is approximately May to November.
Please remember to wear dark clothing only for the turtle nesting tour as it is at night, leaving around 5 PM.
This is the same for any other activity you would like to add.
What’s the difference between Pachira, Evergreen and Aninga?
All three lodges are owned by the same group, Pachira. All the rates are the same and they offer the same packages. However, the lodges do have a few differences.
Aninga is much smaller and more intimate. It is perfect for couples or anyone who doesn’t want to be around too many people. All their rooms are standalone bungalows.
Pachira is great for big groups or families as they have more facilities and the property is much bigger with a great pool. They have a few standalone bungalows and more standard rooms.
Evergreen has a mix of both types of rooms: standalone bungalows and rooms. This property has two sections: A quiet section they call Monkey Garden or the other section where the pool and bar is.
Does Pachira offer packages with a local flight instead of the shuttle and boat?
They only have packages with the shuttle and boat. If you’d like to fly, you can book the flights with Sansa and then book just accommodation, activities and meals with Pachira. There is a $5 USD discount per person for anyone not taking the complete transportation in or out (shuttle + boat in or shuttle + boat out). There is a $10 USD discount per person for anyone not taking complete transportation in and out (shuttle + boat in, shuttle + boat out).
Teresa Pinter says
Do the tours pickup and drop off from the Wyndham San Jose Herradura near the airport? We’re looking at possibly starting a tour on Dec 12 and returning on Dec 14. I didn’t see rates for that late in the year.
Wonderful website and information — so helpful!
Sammi says
Hi Teresa, yes they can pick up and drop off from Wyndham San Jose Herradura, we’ll be sending you the rates for Dec 14 via email.
Christine says
Mytanfeet helped me book an outstanding excursion to Tortuguero, Aninga Lodge, and with a small discount. We loved Aninga Lodge and our guide Johnny was excellent.
Sammi says
Hello Christine, thanks for your feedback, it was our pleasure! I’m glad you had a good time at Aninga, we love that lodge. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip to Costa Rica
Jennie says
We are planning to book the 3 day/2 night Tortuguero package. Would we have time to do a kayaking tour while there? Thanks!
Sammi says
Not really unless you decide not to do one of the included activities
Megan says
Hi, we are driving the country I our own vehicle. Can we pick up the tour at the dock at La Pavona as well as drop off? Would there be a discount for that?
Sammi says
Hi Megan, sure that is a possibility. If you don’t take the shuttle + boat, there is a $5 USD discount per way but if you don’t take the shuttle but take the boat, it’s the same price.
Karen says
If we book the Pachira package to Tortugero and want to have a driver pick us up in Guapiles to take us to La Fortuna is that possible? Do we need to have them pick us up at a car rental place or is it possible to have them pick us up at the restaurant? Do we know the restaurant stop in advance? If we want to have a shared shuttle take us from Tortugero to La Fortuna is that a problem if we book the package with Pachira?
Sammi says
Hi Karen, we sent you an email with information
