Private Boat Tour to Tortuga Island

Amazing tour totally worth it!!

Captain Robert was amazing from start to finish. He was prompt and replied quickly to my emails before the trip. On the day he was waiting for us at the beach and he met all our needs to the fullest. We did a private trip to Tortugas Island and he even took us to extra snorkel spots because we were interested in snorkeling. One of our party got a little sea sick so he took her over to the beach right away. The boat is beautiful and the experience was one of our favorites. We've done several private boat tours and this was our favorite. Really great!

Tortuga Island Snorkel and Sunset Cruise from Jacó

Love this Experience! Loved this Team!

BIG Kudos to the entire CostaCat team! We had a phenomenal time with every need met by the CC team. As a world traveler that is always evaluating the performance and operations of the places I visit, I was thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail and the genuine care that every single staff member exercises as part of their service to their clients. The Costa Cat team was super friendly and eager to ensure that we were all having a great time - from our arrival, to our departure. Welcome party (Aaron and Roberta) were super frendly and accommodating the entire day and started our day off with a tasty breakfast. The captain (Giovanni) did a great job maneuvering the boat to give us a smooth ride, while the chef and cooking staff prepared a delicious buffet for us all to enjoy. No stone was left unturned in making sure that we all had a positive experience. My biggest compliments to the owner of this company and to its staff. We look forward to seeing you all again soon!
