Tortuga Island

A National Costa Rican Treasure!

Isla Tortuga, named by native indigenous tribes for it’s turtle like shape, is an uninhabited tropical island.

Experience the Costa Rican rainforest and wildlife, undisturbed by man made development or technology. Escape off the Pacific Coast to a picturesque island where you can experience the wildlife and tropical fauna in it’s most natural habitat.

Off the coast of the Nicoya Penninsula, situated a short 45 minute boat trip from Los Suenos Resort & Marina, Isla Tortuga is home to a wide range of Costa Rican animals and plant life, including; colourful birds, lizards, deer, dolphins, octopus, stingrays, angel fish, whales and more! Dive into the crystal clear waters and experience the colourful array of sea life below! Take an eco hike to the top of the green hills for a panoramic few of the Pacific Ocean.

Laze on the white, sandy beaches and sip fresh coconut water from the native island palm trees. You won’t want to miss saying “hi” to Filomina, the resident peccary pig who lives on the island!

Our knowledge and bilingual staff will be happy to answer all of your questions and educate you on the various wildlife and historical aspects of this majestic island.

Fresh fruit, muffins coffee and tea was ready for us upon arrival. Boat was clean and well maintained. The amenities on Tortuga Island we comfortable and plenty of shady areas to retreat from the sun. Lunch was plentiful as well as the beverages. Enough activity to keep you amused but not wear you out.

We enjoyed our day with Costa Cat. The customer service was excellent and the food was great. Some things to note: the snorkeling only lasted about an hour. Our time on the banana boat was maybe 15 minutes. We also did the longer hike which was about 45 minutes. I was under the impression the activities would keep me busy all day, but it did not. So this is a great tour for people who are looking for a more relaxing trip with the opportunity to do some things. The transit time from dock to dock also took us an hour and 10 minutes each way. The website says it takes 45 minutes. So we had 50 minutes less than I thought we would have on the island.

Excelente servicio por parte del staff, la comida que sirven en el almuerzo es muy bueno y bastante. Durante todo el tour te ofrecen bebidas de forma ilimitada. Lo recomiendo porque vale la pena lo que se paga por todo lo que se recibe.

Excellent crew and captain with food, drinks and sun. We were treated first class by the mates the entire trip. James treated us like we were his primary guest but they did the same for everyone. We hiked the long trail, snorkled and banana boat ride. A must do while in Los Suenos.

If you’re thinking about doing the Tortuga Island trip, do it. If you’re not thinking about it…still do it. The entire trip from being picked up to stepping off the boat is perfectly organized with extremely friendly and accommodating staff. The island is beautiful and the day is full of choices. You can rest on the beach all day or do everything that’s offered. Exceeded my expectations.

E X C E L E N T E. El capitán Tom y su crew son super atentos. El catamarán precioso. Camila nos atendió con una dulzura única. Puntualidad. Al llegar a Isla Tortuga la atención es de maravilla. ¿VOLVERÍA? SÍ.
