We had the pleasure of meeting Isabella and Captain Marco on this excursion. She brought her daughter and son who were both delightful! They provided pick up from our condo in Jaco and the driver, Johanna was right on time. It was an hour drive to Punta Arenas, where the boat was docked. This is a family owned business so they took great care of us and provided a quality experience. We saw spider monkeys, dolphins, crocodiles, and had a spot on Isla Tortuga to leave our stuff as we swam. They advertise this as a small group trip and it WAS! We saw other boats (same size as the one we were on) with at least 50 people crammed inside and ours had about 12 people, my family and another family. Isabella is a great guide with lots of knowledge. Their staff Michael was phenomenal and gracious. The fruit was delicious and lunch is provided. I highly recommend this trip for anyone who values a small group tour where you’re treated as family and not a number.
So awesome sauce for all ages super chill. Definitely do it even if you are unsure.

It was insanely relaxing. The sand was super smooth and the water was nice and warm. The snorkeling was really cool with all the fish. The drinks are great and the hike was super fun (wear shoes you’ll regret). If I have the chance to go again I 100% will. The pigs are also very friendly.
