Tortuga Island
About the Tour
A beautiful island in the Gulf of Nicoya, Tortuga Island is one of Costa Rica’s most visited locations throughout the entire country. Just over 3 square miles, the gentle coast offers some of the most sought after spots for snorkeling, swimming, and sun bathing on the white sand beach. Tortuga Island Costa Rica is our little piece of paradise on the Pacific Coast, only 1 hour by catamaran from Jaco. “Tortuga” Spanish for turtle, not named because of arrival of turtles but for the shape of the island. If visiting the Central Pacific area of Costa Rica, this is a must, and we highly recommend visiting Tortuga Island, Costa Rica.

In Jaco, the Central Pacific area of Costa Rica, we have two remotely powerful seasons which we call: Dry Season (November – May) and Wet/Rainy Season (June – October). A bit of tropical rain on a hot sunny day is welcoming. The tour to Tortuga Island will still be operating if it rains, also remember that climates change every 10km in Costa Rica and may not be raining at the island when it is in Jaco.
