Jungle hotel surrounded by a natural wilderness
A beautiful reserve for Atlantic green sea turtles, Tortuga Lodge is situated in an area of untouched Costa Rican beauty, teaming with diverse wildlife.
Unless you’re an Atlantic green sea turtle, the only way to arrive on Tortuguero is by boat or light plane. It is a special, remote place with pristine beaches and undisturbed rainforest – which is probably why the turtles choose to swim hundreds of miles to nest here. Tortuguero is also a national park that includes no less than 11 different habitats – home to species as diverse as spider, howler and white-faced monkeys, as well as sloths, river otters, caiman, Jesus Christ lizards and over 320 species of birds. Including six species of kingfisher, plus parrots, toucans, trogons, manakins and fruitcrows.
So, as a nature traveller, Tortuga Lodge – with its river views and rustic jungle elegance – could easily be the highlight of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Costa Rica.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
