Calypso's Cruise To Tortuga Island
If have a day to spare and you still want more beach time, you can't go wrong with the Tortuga Island. This truly is paradise with perfect white sand beaches, coconut palms and the beautiful pacific ocean, all located in the Golf of Nicoya on the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Our Isla Tortuga boat tour is a full day all-Inclusive activity.
Right along the shores, you can find several souvenir shops that sell locally made handicrafts and small items which you can take on your trip home. Seafood is guaranteed fresh, and meats are cooked to perfection. Afterward, you are permitted to break away and enjoy the stunning scenery reserved for those courageous enough to paddle out. Your guide will give you an important briefing about safety and security measures when participating in this activity. By sharing this information I agree to be contacted by universal-traveller.com and/or their partner travel agency. The Franklin Chang Wreck is 95 feet long and was sunk to become an artificial reef for marine animals.
Enjoy the sunset from another perspective, sailing with us off the coast with the possibility of seeing marine species such as dolphins, manta rays, and whales. Create unforgettable moments, enjoying drinks and good music with your family or friends. Your boat trip there alone will leave you with a fantastic experience as you sail across the Gulf of Nicoya and explore its wonders.

Our friends who didn’t want to stay in a hostel were staying at Lucero Surf Retreats and they loved it. Clean and spacious rooms, as well as a pool where you can relax if you don’t fancy swimming with ocean waves. Adventure-seekers and hiking enthusiasts, you might enjoy hiking up one of the many gorgeous mountain trails and relish panoramic views on the way up.
We told them both yes but nobody ever came to tell us it was our turn and at least 1 of us was sitting in our chairs the entire time. We watched as everyone else got to take their turns and the next time an employee came up to us, it was to tell us we had 20 minutes left and to start packing up. So we didn't get to do any of the activities and were basically ignored all day. I am giving this a one-star review because I never got to take the tour and the company didn't even consider my special circumstance and charged me the entire amount ( $300).
A native song is that the Virgin Mary came down to Costa Rica and never went back to Heaven. There’s no airport on Tortuga Island which means you can only reach it by boat. There are several services running from various seaside towns on the mainland, the most popular options being Puntarenas on the eastern Pacific coast and Montezuma on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. On the other side, I did read up on lots of reviews of various tours online and although there were many positive reviews, there were also many negative reviews. Once on the island, you will likely eat lunch with your tour group. The island is located off of the Gulf of Nicoya, near the coast of the Curu Reserve.
