Day trip of a lifetime

Wow what a day to treasure, the tour starts at the harbour where your greeted by a wonderful crew, they are all soo friendly and welcoming. After making your way on board the boat it's beautiful and very clean, plenty of spaces to sit to enjoy the ocean views. Once set off the crew couldn't be more helpful constantly checking in us and offering drinks including a light snack to start the day off. The three crew members I remember the most were Wilmer, Ceaser and Julia they really looked after us. As we were approaching the island of tortuga we were lucky enough to see a huge pod of dolphins swimming around the boat simply magical. Once on the island the drinks were flowing and the snorkeling was amazing even gave the banana boat a try which was so fun. The food on the island was top class and we met some lovely people throughout the day. Highly recommended day trip of lifetime

Just Go!

Dependable transportation from our Jaco hotel to the boat. Crew was excellent, very much service oriented and attention to detail. Boat slowed down on the way to the island to view sea turtles and dolphin. Light breakfast on the way was just enough. Once on the island, settled into our loungers and umbrella. Great location to swim, cool down and have a few drinks. Lunch was awesome.

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! 💙 We’re thrilled to hear that everything from the transportation and breakfast to the attentive service and island setup made your day enjoyable. 🌴🌊 And getting to slow down along the way to spot sea turtles and dolphins is always a special bonus! 🐢🐬 We’re so glad you enjoyed the beach, refreshing swims, drinks, and of course, lunch! 🍹🍽️ Thank you for choosing Costa Cat Cruises.
