Highlights
- Tortuga Island - Located 12 nautical miles from Puntarenas, Isla Tortuga (called Tolinga by the indigenous) has an area of 120 hectares, which remains as a protected forest, which has enjoyed the Ecological Blue Flag for more than five years. This distinction is given to beaches in our country that have their waters free of pollution. Due to its geographical characteristics, its waters are turquoise, which are great for swimming. Our Catamaran has three different environments for your enjoyment: main room with air conditioning bar section and dressing rooms, another area is the prow with a wonderful view of all the landscapes where we will sail and our upper deck conditioned for your rest with a large Jacuzzi.

Interesting - The best part was certainly the super service offered by the crew on board and on the beach! And the real 5 hours spent on the island. The island is nice, but I expected actually a better, clear water.. It was very dirty instead for a Caribbean island.

Day in Paradise - Tortuga Island is a paradise! You couldn't imagine a place so beautiful. Lots of activities offered on the island for an amazing price. We snorkeled, Jet Skiied, paddleboarded and had great food, a full day in the sun, and relaxed. The staff was unbelievably nice and the drinks were well priced. Can't recommend this enough

Not worth it - Destination Services is just a broker for this tour and it is actually provided by Bay Island Cruises. I almost did not get picked up because Destination Services did not pay Bay Island Cruises, spent almost 2 hours chasing them and straightening the whole mess.
You’re basically just paying for pickup & catamaran ride and some food. Guide spoke mostly spanish and little english and was confused most of the time on what’s happening. Too crowded even with covid restrictions. Spent most of the time in the bus with pickups and traffic. Catamaran was very slow and could have cut down travel time in half if it was faster. They give you 5 hours stay on the beach and any activity is extra. Even exploring the island outside of beach area is extra $. They purposely block cell services internet so that you have to pay for their wifi services. Would recommend skipping this and go on an eco tour.

Please beware - Please beware this company is a scam. They never arrived at the hotel to pick me up. The receptionist at the hotel claimed they never showed up. I sat in the lobby from 5:45am to 8:30am watching the front door and no one ever came. When I emailed them for a refund they refused to refund. Please beware!! I would hate for someone else to experience such a terrible experience on a time sensitive trip.
