Spend a day in paradise - enjoy a luxury cruise over the mesmerizing turquoise waters of the Pacific on this tour to the spectacular Tortuga Island. What are you waiting for?

Tortuga Island Tour

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel and set off for Puntarenas, where we'll board a boat and sail to the paradisiacal Tortuga Island.

During the catamaran trip through the Gulf of Nicoya, we'll enjoy a delicious snack consisting of coffee, cookies, and tropical fruits. You'll also have access to an open bar of margaritas and rum punch. ¡Salud!

Once we arrive, you'll have 5 hours of free time to enjoy this paradise full of coconut palms. The calm waters of the Pacific have a unique ecosystem in which it's not uncommon to see sea turtles, and if you're lucky, dolphins and whales. You'll be provided with a hammock to kick back and relax to the sounds of nature.

Afterward, we'll enjoy a meal consisting of two salads, a fish fillet, and a chicken fillet accompanied by garden rice and sautéed vegetables. We'll pair this delicious menu with a glass of local white wine and we'll leave this island after enjoying an amazing Costa Rican coffee.

Lastly, we'll board the boat to head back to Puntarenas and, as we sail the seas, we'll enjoy a delicious dessert and fruit while a DJ livens up the journey.

After disembarking in Puntarenas, we'll hop on the bus to take you back to your hotel, arriving around 8 pm.
