Worth the trip!

It was an early morning start! Yikes. But it was all worth it. Our guide, Percy, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and shared many historical facts as we went along. Showed us many animal and bird sitings. He is obviously very serious about his job and does all he can to make sure everyone is safe, happy and well- cared for. He made a point of stopping along the way to show us amazing things like two sea turtles mating - rare to see. We also stopped and watched dolphins among other things. Snorkeling was very good. The equipment was better than most. The day was relaxing and easy. The lunch was absolutely delicious and we were surprised at the high quality they served compared to other excursions. Food when you are tired and hungry is important and they did it right! I would highly recommend this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed!

Your experience starts...

Your experience starts early in the morning but it’s so worth it. Isla Tortuga is beautiful. We saw dolphins and the lunch they prepared on the island for us was incredible.

Do not book with Viator...

I paid for the tour more than a week in advance and they never picked me up at the hotel, they didn't answer the phone, and I waited from 5am, which is when they said they would pick me up. Additionally, the only person who responded said that their boss wouldn't answer them. What a bad experience and disappointment.
