Tortuga Island Catamaran Tour

A full-day island escape from the SJO area

A catamaran crossing of the Gulf of Nicoya leads to approximately five hours at Tortuga Island for swimming, beach time and an included lunch. Ground transportation connects Adventure Inn with the Puntarenas dock. Expect an early start and evening return because the outing includes a lengthy drive and boat journey in each direction.

Catamaran crossing

The boat journey takes approximately 90 minutes each way under normal conditions. Seating and open viewing areas let you see the Gulf of Nicoya scenery. Music and onboard entertainment may be part of the cruise. Sea conditions vary, and travelers prone to motion sickness should plan accordingly.

Time on Tortuga Island

Once ashore, you can swim, relax and use the beach before the included lunch. Volleyball is included. Optional activities such as snorkeling and banana-boat rides cost extra and depend on sea conditions, equipment and availability. Bring payment if you may want to add an activity.

Meals and refreshments

The listed meal service includes a snack-style breakfast, coffee and cookies aboard the boat, fruit, ceviche, nonalcoholic refreshments and lunch. Dietary requests should be communicated before booking; a special menu is not guaranteed without advance confirmation.
