A can’t miss experience

This trip was absolutely incredible! We had perfect weather and enjoyed every activity they included - snorkeling, banana boat ride, hiking, and the lunch was outstanding!! So much food all super tasty and satisfying. Drinks were also plentiful and the Costa Cat staff were 10/10 especially Wilbur. Definitely bring sunscreen and towels but so much is provided otherwise. It might seem pricey but it’s 100% worth it and this cannot be missed! One recommendation is motion sickness meds for the boat ride as it get choppy and is 1 hr long. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Operator response

Thank you so much, Alison, for your amazing review! 🌴☀️ We're so happy to hear you had such an incredible day with us and enjoyed all the activities, from snorkeling and the banana boat ride to the hike and lunch. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Wilber—he'll be thrilled to hear he helped make your experience so memorable! 😊 Thank you as well for the helpful tips about sunscreen, towels, and motion sickness medication for future guests. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back aboard Costa Cat for another unforgettable adventure! ⛵💙

Come sail away

This was an incredible tour! I would recommend this for anyone looking for a day of activity and relaxing while taking in the incredible views of Costa Rica. The crew was incredible and made the experience so much better. We were able to see a few species that we hadn’t seen yet like dolphin and a peccary.

Great Experience!

The full day trip to Tortuga Island was perfect! Wilbur and his crew were beyond hospitable and attentive. The boat ride was beautiful and the island with Costa Cat’s amenities was incredible. We did snorkeling but skipped the banana boat and hike to relax on the beach. The lunch was huge and very appetizing. I loved the red salsa and rice. Bring lots of sunscreen and a hat! There is a small gift shop and a little bar if you want to get a drink outside of the drinks they offer (we aren’t big drinkers but I liked having one cocktail). I had the cocoloco out of a coconut. Both take cards but bring cash for tips 😃 You will not regret booking the experience!

Book it!

MIUST DO EXCURSION. If you are trying to decide on what to do while in the area. Pick this!!! Our favorite day in Costa Rica was visiting Isla Tortuga. Costa Cat made it an even more of an amazing experience. We drove to the Marina, check-in was fast and easy. Throughout the trip you get unlimited water, soft drinks, jungle juice, and margaritas. You can pay an additional fee to upgrade your drinks to more options. We aren’t big drinkers so we did not opt in to this option. We docked at Isla Tortuga they had an area of lounge chairs and umbrellas reserved for us. We started off the day by taking a mini boat out to snorkel, they provided goggles, snorkels, flippers, and life vests. We saw a few fish nothing too crazy. We ate lunch cooked by the team. Chicken, Rice, Beans, and Salad. The crew sang happy birthday to me and gave us Chiliguero shots 🫶🏼. Lots of food left over if anyone wanted seconds. Later on we went out to ride the banana boat, they provided helmets and life jackets. Got thrown off several times.🤣 Eco Walking trail, had options of 15 minutes, 25 minutes, and 45 minutes. The trail begins off with very steep stairs so we stopped at the 15 minute mark. You still get an amazing view. We got to see howler monkeys super up close. Lastly I just want to make a point of how the Captian and the crew were so attentive, never let you be with an empty drink, cleaned up our trash so quickly, overall super friendly, and just amazing service. We live in Vegas so our standard of service I would say is pretty high, but these guys did great. Can’t wait to come back again. Pura Vida 🏝️🫶🏼

Looking for love

To whomever is reading this, can you give Andreas my cell phone number it’s 1 (414) 840-3332. I cannot stop thinking about him. I don’t know if this is appropriate or I’m making a fool of myself. Life is too short if he’s already taken, I understand.

Beautiful experience

As first timers to Jaco, Costa Rica we watched videos and social media so we could get the most out of our trip. Many people said this was a must do and we have to agree. The experience itself was fantastic but the staff elevated our experience beyond our expectations. Wilbur and the crew, you guys are the best. Thank you for a great day.

Truly world class customer service

I have traveled to over 40 countries and been on 100+ excursions and this was the best customer service I have ever experienced. From the oldest to the youngest employee they have been well-trained. Throughout the entire 8-9 hour experience they are constantly checking in to make sure all your needs are meet. Here are some quick examples - they come to you even if you are in the water to take your drink order, they brought a lunch plate to my daughter who was getting her hair braided during lunch time, and my wife left her shoes on Tortuga Island and they brought them back later that night for us to retrieve in their main office. Who over is during the hiring and training of the staff deserves a raise. It’s like a combination of Chik fila and Ritz Carlton service level and professionalism. The trip we took is well worth the money and my family of 5, including 3 teenage daughters had a blast.

Operator response

Wow, thank you for such an incredible review! 🌟 Hearing this from someone who has traveled to more than 40 countries and experienced over 100 excursions truly means the world to us. Our goal is to create an experience where every guest feels genuinely cared for, so it's wonderful to hear that the little details made a difference—from delivering drinks right to you in the water, to making sure your daughter didn't miss lunch, and helping reunite your wife with her shoes after the tour. Those are exactly the kinds of moments our team takes pride in. Your comparison to Chick-fil-A and The Ritz-Carlton is one of the highest compliments we could receive, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with our entire crew. They work incredibly hard to provide exceptional service, and feedback like yours makes it all worthwhile. Thank you for trusting us with your family's day in Costa Rica. We're thrilled that everyone, including your three daughters, had such a great time. We hope to welcome your family back aboard the next time your travels bring you our way! 🌴☀️⛵💙
