Omg where do I start...From the time we boarded the boat the staff was very pleasant and friendly we received rum punches on the walk in. The DJ had the tunes jamming from beginning to end while still playing a mixture of everything for everyone. The fresh fruit, snack, drinks were all great. We bought drinks from the bar as well which was very reasonably priced and tasted amazing. Once on the island everything was great. It started raining a little but that stopped nothing. The island was gorgeous and beautiful. Lunch which is provided was delicious and tasty. We bought pineapple Pina coladas which was also amazing. I decided to do the banana boat with the flip let's just say I will NEVER do that again lol. Overall I had a great experience.
Also people were complaining about the long boat ride and that was no problem between dancing, chatting, and enjoying the gorgeous views the ride to and back went pretty fast.

Amazing experience! We enjoyed the full-day excursion to Tortuga Island. We loved the hospitality as soon as we stepped foot on the boat. We were greeted with a rum punch and offered coffee and water. The DJ was the best, playing various music that catered to all passengers. We could purchase drinks and were given fresh fruit and ceviche!
The island was lovely and cute! Had a small shop where you could purchase snacks, souvenirs, and wifi for the day ($4).

This is a full day trip to Tortuga island. The address listed on this website for the meeting point is incorrect. I'm glad they sent the actual address out the night before. There is no parking lot near the meeting point, however, my rental car was fine parked on the street all day. The snorkeling was terrible. Water was very cloudy, couldn't see anything. The beach area was beautiful and there were seats for everyone. The food served was pretty good, I really liked the rice and fish. Be prepared for a 1.5-2 hour boat ride to and from the island. Overall enjoyed my time on Tortuga island.

OH MY GOSH!! Such an amazing tour. As a solo female traveler, I was looking for something safe, inclusive and fun with other tourists. The guides did not speak very much English but it did not matter, it was the perfect vacation day. The boat ride takes almost two hours from Puntarenas each way, but it is the perfect time to enjoy snacks they provide with fresh fruit juice and coffee. You can see dolphins, manta rays and other assorted fish jumping out of the water. The lunch on the island was tasty, and the beverages were cold. The snorkel tour is amazing, they take you out to the perfect spot to see tons of fish. The banana boat ride is pretty short, but hilarious. To end out the day, the very cute tour guide offered salsa lessons on the boat ride back as the sun went down. Would absolutely recommend! Does take an entire day, from 7:30 to about 4:30pm.

AMAZING time with GREAT friends at Tortuga Island! So well organized. Professional and curtious service. Music had us singing and swaying. Platters of fresh fruit along with tasty tropical drinks kept us smiling! Traditional Casada served for lunch with a complimentary glass of sangria. The crew took care of everything! ROY was exceptionally attentive to our needs. Highly recommend this full day excursion. This was my THIRD day trip and I’ll do it again, next month! Great way to enjoy the beauty and celebrate Life in Costra Rica, with friends and family! Book now! You will be pleasantly SURPRISED!
