Isla Tortuga VIP: Small-Group Snorkel, Sail & Jungle Safari

Sail to the legendary white-sand crescent of Isla Tortuga aboard a private catamaran, snorkel crystal Pacific waters, and return through a wildlife-rich jungle safari. A true Costa Rican bucket-list day on the water.

What to expect

Depart Jacó Marina (≈40 min from the port) aboard a sleek catamaran as a naturalist guide points out coastal wildlife. Anchor off Tortuga's turquoise shallows for guided snorkelling over vibrant reef fish. Lunch — fresh ceviche, rice, plantains — is served under palms on the beach. On the return, the boat detours up a jungle estuary for a crocodile and monkey safari.
