Tortuga Island Full Day Tour from San José with Lunch

Great experience traveling to Isla Tortuga from the moment I was picked up to the moment I was dropped off. The guide was Very informative and the island was beautiful. Was able to enjoy a restful and relaxed afternoon and was also able to see some animals in sight.

The guide was exceptional. The boat ride out to the island was an experience as we saw crocodiles, dolphins, and monkeys. The snorkeling was great fun.

This was a perfect way to wrap up ky trip to Costa Rica. The entire experience was fantastic. The island is beautiful and Inside Tours are great host. Thumbs up all around.

See a lot of marine wildlife and on land boars , deer lizard etc...

Great one day trip from San Jose. Well organisée trip, Roy was very friendly and helpful! Many paid activities possible on the island!

Not worth the time and energy. Met shuttle at appointed time 0545. Was told immediately that i could not have my backpack on the shuttle it would have to ride in storage. Had i know this I would never have booked this excursion. The drive was about 3 hours. I needed my chapstick and a host of other things that were “stored”. Boarded a 30 yr old speed boat and flew to the island (the only enjoyable part of excursion and the most UNSAFE!!) once at the island we were told we would be there for 5 hours. Discouraged to do snorkeling by crew. Said “don’t go unless you are a very good swimmer” so no snorkeling. No paddle boarding. Nothing but laying on a $22 lounger. Went to get a drink and the bartender did not have a clue. Lunch was dry and nasty and we were given apple juice in medicine cups to have with meal. They charged to use the restroom. Finally staff spent most of the 5 hours there playing on cell phones and smoking cigs. There was no service for phones and no service from staff. At 3 we loaded the boat to go back. Again we’re told to put our backpacks in the storage under the shuttle. This trip was 5 hours because of all the stops to let people off. And when it came to my stop the driver missed the turn, stopped in the middle of the street and told me to walk to hotel. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! This same “tour group” does other excursions as well and I would give them a negative 10.

It was a fun day. The only tricky part was being in the right spot for our pick up in front of Gran Hotel. We needed to be on the Main Street in front of it and not in the hotel drop off area. My daughter got stung by a jellyfish and we asked the bartender for some help and he gave us vinegar to get the sting out. We really appreciated that. :) The snorkeling was really great and we saw a lot of fish. The included fruit and meal was Aplus.

Perfect, formidable walk highly recommended

Tour was well organized and staff was exceptional, we saw spider monkeys and dolphins.

It was a lucky day to see American crocodiles, dolphins and spider monkeys; the day was not very windy and snorkelled for about an hour (the water was somewhat muddy, generally okay and fish species were few); and before lunch we swam at the beach, which was of average quality and some prickly feet. If it's just for the beach, it's not recommended; if you want to experience Costa Rica's beaches, it's great value for money. Lunch was uneventful, without further ado. The service is OK, the guide is quite capable of saying. The seat belts of the buses cannot be used because they are not installed. This is a point to complain about, and I hope that travel agencies can improve as soon as possible.
