Private Boat Tour to Isla Tortuga Costa Rica

Spend an unforgettable day exploring Costa Rica’s Pacific coast on our all-inclusive Isla Tortuga boat tour. Your adventure begins with a scenic cruise along the shoreline, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the coast and its nearby islands while keeping an eye out for dolphins, manta rays, sea turtles, and even seasonal whales. A special stop at a small island inhabited by curious spider monkeys lets you observe these playful creatures up close as they come down to greet the boat.

Next, dive into an underwater world as you snorkel around volcanic rock reefs teeming with colorful tropical fish — an experience that truly feels like swimming in an aquarium. Once back on board, we’ll continue to Isla Tortuga, known for its soft white-sand beach and crystal-clear, family-friendly waters. Here, you’ll be welcomed with fresh fruit and a tropical lunch served in a shaded beach area reserved for our group.

The afternoon is yours to enjoy however you like — relax in a hammock beneath the palms, swim and sunbathe, hike scenic trails to panoramic viewpoints, or rent a kayak, paddleboard, or banana boat for a bit more adventure. With small groups, personalized attention from our friendly guides, and opportunities to spot wildlife both on land and in the water, this tour is the perfect mix of relaxation, exploration, and natural beauty.
