So much fun!!!
My husband and I had a great time from the moment we stepped on the boat until the moment we stepped off. Erin was our guide and he was excellent along with his crewmates who made the entire trip very enjoyable. They are constantly making sure that we were all set with whatever we needed. The boat ride was great, the snorkeling was fabulous, had so much fun on the boat ride and hiking. They served an excellent lunch and just made the whole day a pleasure. Would definitely recommend this trip to anybody who is interested and would myself book again with Costa Cat.

He made it so personable too by stopping to see unique birds, etc after learning about us and what we were most excited to see, etc. We highly recommend this tour company and this tour!! We had such an amazing day!! Muchas gracias, Alex!!!!

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!

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.
