Several launches use the port of Moin as a departure and arrival point. While some of the launches are privately hired by organized tour operators, several are for local hire. Local merchants depart throughout the day at unspecified times. Most will not depart until they have filled their launches, therefore there is no guarantee that they will even depart. We recommend that you arrive as early as possible and get on the first launch to depart.
Prices vary depending on the time of day, number of passengers and size of the boat.
No naturalist guides are present, nor is food or beverages. Tour operators normally provide bilingual naturalist guides, lunch and beverages, however, there is no guarantee. If you prefer a slow, narrated trip through the Torguguero Canals, take an organized tour. Normally, an experienced tour guide will reveal surrounding wildlife as with local flora and fauna. This site is provided as a source of information for the world to learn about sea turtles and the threats to their survival by the CCC and its STSL program.
