The most beautiful tour in Tortuguero with the best and friendliest guide - My wife and I went to Costa Rica together for the second time. Zei went to Costa Rica for the first time with her father and then did the first tour with Kevin. We liked it so much that she really wanted to do that tour with me! It was amazing . 2 years later we went to Costa Rica again and did the Tour with Kevin again! We will go to Kevin again next time we are in Costa Rica! Kevin is the best guide you could wish for and a really nice and beautiful person! When we told us that we were getting married in Costa Rica, Kevin and his wife gave us special treatment, my wife got her nails done by Kevin's wife and I was offered a wonderful massage. All in all, we think that a tour with Kevin should not be missed when visiting Costa Rica. The Tour is beautiful and is explained very nicely by Kevin and you feel special in his presence! Kevin, you are a super nice guy and we certainly hope to see you and your wife again in the future. I can recommend everyone to book a tour with Sambola tours. You will never regret this!

Amazing guides and well organized! - We did a kayak tour (with Israel) and the night-walk (with Bernie) and both tours were amazing. Everything was well organized and the guides had both an excellent knowledge of the plants and animals. They answered all our questions comprehensively. The enthusiasm for their work was really noticeable.

An unforgettable kayaking experience on the Tortuguero canals! - The guide Roberto was super friendly and very knowledgeable. The equipment provided by Kevin and his team was top quality. We observed many animals and impressive flora, birds and monkeys were there. Impeccable service and perfect organization. I highly recommend this excursion for an authentic adventure in the heart of nature!

Canoe trip Tortuguero - Canoe trip done with guide Kevin. With his excellent English he told us a lot about the nature of Tortuguero. Frequently seen: caimans, monkeys, a toucan, many other bird species and iguanas. Without the guide we would never have found all this. The advantage of this travel agency is that you can sail with a canoe or kayak. This allows you to go further into the jungle and the animals are not frightened by the sound of a motor boat. In short: highly recommended!!

Fantastic tour guides - Amazing canoe trip with Kevin. He was very knowledgeable, experienced and made the whole trip enjoyable. We saw a lot of wildlife, most of which I would have missed if it wasn’t for him. The whole team were fantastic and highly recommended them for any trips in Tortuguero.

Good and safe adventure! - This morning we did an adventures tour with Kevin and it was super interesting and fun. Although we are not really early morning persons, Kevin made us laugh so hard with his positive energy and spot on jokes. He really knows how to entertain and interact with a group of people and also gives time to be silence and listen to the nature sounds together. What we liked is that the tour group is small and that Kevin shows you spots where the bigger commercial boats don't come. He's a really good wildlife spotter and showed us many species of birds, monkeys and more then 4 crocodiles. He also told us some really interesting funfacts and could answer all our questions. The boat and gear is safe and the communication is also clear. We could really recommend booking your next adventure here! You can book directly in their brand new office on the main streets which will open this sunday, or via El Patio Hostel. You will not regret!

Great experience - We had a really great experience yesterday morning on the canoe tour with Kevin. We had an early start, greeted with coffee, bananas and biscuits, then we set off on a fascinating and very informative trip in the canoe. Kevin was very knowledgeable and humorous, and worked hard to find flora and fauna to point out and talk about. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and would highly recommend.

Take Sambola, real experience, not motor-boat, loud one! - Fantastic tour guide - Kevin and lady in the office - Middi :-) If you want to meet Costarican's David Attenborough- make sure that you jump on boat with Kevin. Awesome knowledge, passion and professionalism. AVOID motorboats as those make noise and do not enter hidden gems. Book with Kevin and Sambola, you will get fantastic, real adventure, not half of it in the motor-boat . Greetings from Poland!!
