We did the private Tortuga Isle tour. It was the best day! Mario took great care of us. The captain did a great job getting us through some rough waters. I highly recommend this tour.

This was one of the best excursions we have participated in. Everything about this was a five star. I travelled with 7 other family members. The staff learned our names and treated us like royalty. They are constantly bringing drinks and checking in, and they are so kind, professional, and genuine. The Island was beautiful, the food was great, and the activities were perfect. Everything is so well planned and executed. I highly recommend this tour.

The other reviews do a great job outlining what this day trip includes, so I’ll focus on what truly sets it apart: the staff and the boat. The crew is incredibly friendly, attentive, and clearly cares about making sure everyone has a great time. Their service and attitude really elevate this experience. On the ride back to the mainland, my group—and really everyone onboard—was in such a great mood that it perfectly summed up the day - it was terrific from start to finish. If you’re on the fence about booking this tour, do yourself a favor and book it. It’s absolutely worth it.

Wow what a day We arrived at the harbour and were greeted by the team and a lot of very colourful makaws .We got on board of the very comfortable catamaran with AC inside and were offered fruit ,a muffin (Yummy) and coffee/tea/soft drinks We sat outside on the way to the island and after 50 minutes we arrived at a tropical paradise The crew allocated deckchairs with parasols and offered Icewater Magaritas or Junglejuice and soft drinks We went for a swim and some people played volleyball. Then we were put on smaller boats and brought to a small island for snorkelling It was fabulous The water is warm and the amount of Sealife we saw was phenomenal We could have stayed all day .Back on the island lunch was served ,Griled chicken ,rice potatoes salad and slaw Delicious During the whole day the crew was very attentive ,answered all the questions charmingly and were good fun You had the option to go for a walk around the island which we did We loved it and met a lot of really nice people On our way back we saw dolphins A wonderful end of a wonderful day I can highly recommend this tour

Amazing trip! We loved this excursion from the moment we got on the boat! Breakfast, lunch and the drinks were great! The staff was amazing very attentive to everyone and made sure we had what we needed. Lunch was great! Every activity was fun and had enough time in between to enjoy the sun and relax. This is a must do when in Jaco!

I brought my sister and husband on a day trip to Tortuga. It was absolutely pouring rain and the seas were a bit rough but the staff did everything to make the day fun and adventurous. Everyone was extremely attentive and helpful. It rained most of the time on Tortuga, but the sea was warm and the food and drinks were excellent and you just can't not be in awe of the beauty and wildlife everywhere. Peccaries, peacocks, a funny little cockatiel walking on the beach added to the fun. A very fun day for all of us.

What a DAY! I already knew from all the reviews this was going to be next level, but it exceeded even my initial expectations. Thanks to Cesar and the rest of the guides, we felt like adventurous royalty. The boat itself was so sea worthy. The swells are actually quite large going across the Gulf, so having a bigger more stable craft helped for a smooth crossing. We saw many humpback whales both on the way to, and back from, the Island, as well as dolphins and sea turtles. There were plenty of active offerings while on the beautiful Island itself, but we chose to do the snorkeling. LOTS of colorful fish in a safe environment. Lunch was freshly cooked, and was healthy, fresh, and plentiful! They also offered many healthy snacks in between such as fresh fruit, and a healthy breakfast on board the boat. We don't drink alcohol, but there was plenty of it, and the crew made sure that no one's glass was empty!! Fresh cold drinks were delivered by the crew out to all the participants out floating in the water. I HIGHLY recommend both this excursion, as well as Costa Cat!!

Great experience. We lucked out with perfect weather. The service provided by the entire crew was outstanding. Beach was decent, some rocks but still enjoyeable. The umbrellas and beach chairs were plentiful and in great shape. The food (local flair) and drinks were very good and planty of it. I would gladly do this one again, highly recommend.
