Exceptional Tour
This was the BEST DAY EVER!!! We can’t recommend this tour enough. The entire catamaran staff was AMAZING. The service was second to none. The lunch served was delicious. The jungle juice was flowing and the vibes were high. Worth every penny! Tortuga Island is beautiful!

What an awesome tour!
This is such an awesome tour. Our driver picked us up right on time and was very polite, very friendly. We met our group tour guide at the included breakfast. Our guide was awesome at spotting the wildlife, very friendly and very knowledgeable. We all had a great time.

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.

Fun activity!
You can't bring phones, cameras or other items with you on the zipline. And there are no lockers. So you should either leave stuff at hotel or lock in car. They have photographers along to take pictures, and they are for sale after. The aerial tram takes you to the top where the ziplines start so there is no steep climbing. There was some downhill walking in spots. The guides were very knowledgeable and safety was a priority. We thoroughly enjoyed this activity and would recommend it.

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!

Great experience
The adventure was well worth it. N was our ATV guide. He made the experience fun and encouraged the natural springs swimming and rock jumping. Lunch really good. We had to reschedule the cooling portion due to lightning but it was no problem getting it rescheduled for what worked with our schedule.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Jaco’s proximity to San Jose makes it one of Costa Rica’s most popular coastal destinations, but this Gulf of Nicoya getaway is also convenient for exploring beyond the beach. Jaco Day trips will get you out on the water, whether it’s a relaxing ride through the mangroves or a private speedboat cruise to Tortuga Island. With someone else behind the wheel—and a guide handling logistics—you’ll have time to do everything from bird-watching and ATVing while seeing the country’s top attractions, including Arenal Volcano, Rio Celeste Waterfall, and Manuel Antonio National Park.
