Premium Private Isla Tortuga Tour

The journey, in full

This exceptional day starts with pick-up at the Paquera ferry landing. You will board one of the comfortable powerboats that are fully equipped with a cooler with refreshments, music, safety equipment, and plenty of space as we take 10 people on board. (Please reach out if you have a larger group, as we can take multiple boats). The 25-minute boat ride to the island allows for enjoying the views of the coastline and the layout of the islands. About halfway to Isla Tortuga, we will do a little detour past Isla Nancital, the monkey island. Here we also have the option to do fishing on the way if desired. The entertaining and photogenic spider monkeys usually come all the way down to the water for some great photo ops from the boat. During the boat ride, it is not uncommon to see dolphins, jumping rays, turtles at times with a little luck, humpback whales. Upon arrival to Tortuga Island, we will anchor our boat close to the snorkeling spot. The reef consists of mainly volcanic rock and this is where you will see the vast majority of the tropical reef fish. You can snorkel for as long as you want. It is your special day, so you decide how much time you want to spend in the water, on the beach, fishing or just cruising around. After an amazing snorkeling experience, our captain will take you to the wonderful white sand beach of Isla Tortuga where drinks and fruits will be waiting for you at our private lunch spot. Included here is also a plate of locally grown oysters as an appetizer. We serve fresh fruit and authentic Costa Rican BBQ lunch with either fish, chicken, lobster (when available), shrimp, seafood plate, or a vegetarian meal. We also serve complimentary white wine with the meal. After lunch, enjoy some coffee, brownies, and a shot of brown liquor. The rest of the afternoon will be yours to enjoy. You can go for a hike, a swim, rent a kayak, a banana boat, take a little “siesta” in the hammocks and beach chairs we provide, or just chill at the beach. And then as the day comes to an end, we will get back on the boat our ride back. Here as well we have the option to do some fishing on the way back if anyone feels up to it. Our guides go above and beyond in order to provide you with a memorable experience like swimming around with you at the snorkeling spot if you are a novice swimmer. Their focus is to ensure you have a great experience on and off the boat. The Premium Private Isla Tortuga Tour is the perfect getaway in these Covid times.
