? Full Description
Your journey begins with a fast boat ride (approximately 45 minutes) from Puntarenas to Isla Tortuga. Along the way, the crew keeps a sharp eye out for dolphins and other marine creatures — a classic Costa Rican marine adventure. Once you arrive, you disembark onto the soft, white sands of Tortuga Island, where you’ll be treated to fresh fruit and cool drinks as you settle in.
You’ll have several hours (about six) to lounge under the sun, swim in the calm clear waters, or explore the island at your own pace. When hunger strikes, a hearty casado lunch is served — with meat, fish, or vegetarian options — making sure everyone’s tastes are covered.
After lunch, get ready to jump in the water: gear up for a guided snorkeling session (roughly 45–50 minutes) in the island’s vibrant waters. Once you’re back on land, sip coffee and enjoy a pastry before it’s time to board the boat for your return trip, relaxed and sun-kissed.
