What are people saying about Jaco

All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island

Raymond_B, Feb 2026

True professionals!

The experience was absolutely amazing. Although there were a few hiccups in the beginning, the team at Costa Cat made it right. Red carpet treatment throughout the experience and attention to every detail. The food was great and the beach atmosphere was very relaxing. My wife and I had a blast on the banana boat ride and the views were spectacular. I highly recommend this tour, definitely worth it!

Isla Tortuga Adventure tour from Jaco -full day

Ryan_G, Feb 2026

Fun in the sun.

The tour was run by a local family rather than a large company so that was refreshing. On the way out, we saw some crocodiles sunning on a sandbar right next to the boat. Tour included a stop to see some monkeys and then snorkeling. Snorkeling was good as the guides were feeding the fish so we were completely surrounded by colorful fish. The only downside was the number of people in the water at the same time because there were so many different tour boats. This was not unexpected because it is the busy season, but it wasn’t optimal. We were then taken to the beach and fed a delicious lunch. Again, there were a lot of people there but we were able to rent some chairs and enjoy the sun. We had a great time. If going during busy season, have the proper expectation about it being busy and you’ll be good.

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!

Nature Walk on Steroids

Ask for guide Jeromy with Toucans Tours he was very knowledgeable and without his telescope we would missed 90% of what we saw. 9 sloths, 8 monkeys, multiple lizards, iguanna, exotic butterflies, land crabs, hermit crabs, giant rodent, birds including white King Vulture.

I would definitely...

I would definitely recommend this experience! 10/10! My friends and I had such an amazing time, our tour guide Guillermo was very knowledgeable, kind, and made us laugh a lot! Definitely bring comfortable shoes as you will be doing some walking and going up and down a lot of steps but the views are worth it :)

Raquel_J, Jul 2025

this cruise was great....

this cruise was great. The beginning of the trip was super fast as the driver was kind of speeding through the jungle, but it was all fun. The drinks were great, and the food was amazing. I enjoyed that we had options to choose from for the food and drinks and we took multiple shots. I would recommend this to a friend.

The best of the best

My adult daughter and I took this tour. I cannot say enough positive things about it. Everything was perfect. The ATVs and helmets were in top condition, the trails were well maintained and our guide kept ini d that we were novices. The stops were amazing and perfectly spaced out. Just know that you're going to get a top of the line experience. We saw amacaw, monkeys and the backside of a sloth 😂.
