We will start the day by taking you on a 45 minutes boat ride along the coast with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean on the right and the beautiful landscape of the NICOYA PENINSULA on the left. During the boat ride, most of the time, you will be able to see cheerfully dolphins, jumping manta rays, primitive turtles, or if you are lucky you can even enjoy watching humpback & pilot whales.

Once we get to the paradisiacal TORTUGA ISLAND we will anchor our boat next to the best points for SNORKELING and Scuba Diving. The volcanic rock reef is surrounded by crystalline waters and home of Angelfish, Porcupinefish, Morays, Needlefish, Spotted Eagle Rays, and many more tropical beauties that will make it for you an extraordinary snorkel experience.

After the amazing snorkeling experience, our captain will take you to the wonderful white sand beach of Tortuga Island where drinks and fruits will be waiting for while the lunch is ready. For lunch, our cook serves fresh BBQ fish (tuna fillet now) or chicken, sauteed vegetables with delicious grilled potatoes.

After lunch, the afternoon will be yours to enjoy. You can go for a hike, a swim, rent a kayak, a banana boat, take a little “siesta”, or just chill at the beach. And then as the day comes to an end, we will get back on the boat for a beautiful ride back to Montezuma town.
