What are people saying about Jaco

All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island

Michael_N, Jun 2026

A great day on Tortuga Island

This was a great way to spend the day with the family at the beach. Pickup was prompt and everyone on staff was kind and attentive. The ride out to the island took about 45 minutes - once we arrived, the team assigned chairs based on party size and the drinks started flowing. Those who wanted to snorkel were taken out a few hundred yards to a large rock formation where there were tons of colorful fish to see. When we got back to shore, lunch (and more drinks) were ready. After eating, we hung out in the surf, socializing with other families while the kids found new friends to hang out with for the day. The banana boat came out a bit after lunch, which was fun - they will go as slow or fast as the group wants. We skipped the hiking in lieu of hanging out at the beach, but we heard it was nice. Definitely recommend doing this with the family!

This is a great way to...

If you’re thinking of driving yourself to these things, just don’t. Let Alex take you on a comfy and safe trip (he knows the shortcuts and gets the great parking spots-you don’t)! He is also magical with children, and there were times where the 6 kids in our group were just up front hiking with him at the volcano, learning about flora and fauna in a fun way. This is a great way to hit three major attractions in one very full day. Start with your swimsuit and coverup on, because the waterfall is first. Towels are a must, raincoats less so. The food is great. Book it now!

Wonderful beach day!

Nice boat! It got to the island fast compared to other boats. We stopped to see spider monkeys. The young man helping on the boat brought mangos to toss to the monkeys. It was fun to watch them scramble for the mangos. We stopped for a bit of snorkeling before heading to the island. This tour company had a large canopy with picnic tables under it which provided shade when needed. A nice lunch was served along with fresh fruit snacks and refreshments. The crew was very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Amazing Ride through the Rainforest

I wasn’t totally sure what to expect when booking this but it ended up being one of our favorite excursions we’ve ever done. Yordan was an awesome guide and pointed out many different plants and animals as we drove by. Between Costa Rican beers, lots of history and fun facts, and a delicious lunch at a local spot we couldn’t have asked for anything else

Highly recommend this...

Highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide, Vini was so helpful and knowledgeable. He really tailored the experience for us. We really wanted to see monkeys, macaws, and toucans so he took us to spots he knew and went out of his way to find them for us during our journey to the various spots. The lunch spot was also amazing and a few macaws flew by to a nearby tree so we got lots of good pictures. Overall 10/10 experience and was the best tour we did in Costa Rica!
