We are a family of 11 people, so we had the boat mostly to ourselves. Isabella, Cap. Marcus, and Steve were fantastic, professional, and friendly. Service was punctual, the lunch was very good, and the recreation was enjoyable. My husband and myself took a nap on the sand while our adult children played on the beach. Snorkeling was nice. TM's snorkel equipment is good quality.

What an incredible experience! This Tortuga Island tour was an amazing value and one of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip. We spent the entire day exploring, snorkeling in crystal-clear water to relaxing on beautiful Tortuga Island. Along the way, we even made a quick stop to see a troop of spider monkeys that ran right up to the boat, which was such a fun and unexpected highlight. The day ended with a spectacular sunset followed by an unforgettable bioluminescence swim. The attention to detail was exceptional. The crew prepared both a delicious lunch and dinner, and even treated us to coffee and cookies. Every part of the day was thoughtfully planned, making it easy to simply relax and enjoy the experience. A special thank you to Nadia, Maikol, and Captain Marco for making the trip so memorable. They were friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. If you’re visiting Costa Rica, I highly recommend this tour, you won’t be disappointed!

We have the most amazing tortuga island tour from jaco with TM tours. It was the highlight of our entire costa rica vacation. The door to door service was exvellent. They picked us up right on time at oir airbnb and took us to puntarenas. Metting marco and isabella at their private dock. Our goup of 14 fit very comfortably on their big gray boat. The adventure starts instantly! Only 5 min out, we enjoyed a brilliant boat safari where we spotted huge crocodriles, playful dolphins, and visited the monkey island. TM tours have every thing ready for the snorkeling tm tour crew provide us top-notch snorkeling equipmnent with fins, endless local snacks, fresh tropical fruits, and refreshing drinks coca cola fresca and passion fruits. The beachfront lunch was delicious, paired with stunning ocean view. This was the top for a day cruise from jaco.

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.

We intentionally keep our tour groups small because on TM tours we believe that a quality, personal experience is much better than a crowded boat.
