Best Day Ever!
This day was everything we hoped for and more!
Isabella, Micheal, and Captain Marcus were incredible!! She gave us history of islands, we saw monkeys, crocs, and other incredible wildlife on Tortuga! We also hiked the island, the views were breathtaking!
Lunch was amazing, we had yellowfin tuna and chicken options and they provided lots of water, pop, and we even had an afternoon coffee and cookies!
Don’t hesitate, just book this tour! Pura Vida 💕

All the CostaCat guides...
All the CostaCat guides were so attentive and kind getting us whatever we needed before we even had to ask. We rode the boat to the island eating fruit on the way. Once there we were given chairs and umbrellas along with juice which was unlimited. Next we went out snorkeling for 30-40 min and then back to the beach where they had a delicious lunch of chicken,rice, potato, beans,and salad. After lunch we explored the beach with very soft sand and very friendly for every kind of group. Next the banana boat ride and a short hike. All optional but very fun. The workers got to know us and made sure we were involved as much as we wanted to be. We loved this little stress free get away.

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!

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.
