Santa Teresa: Tortuga Island Full Day Boat Tour with Snorkeling｜Costa Rica

Our vans will collect all the travelers in front of the hotel on the main road in Santa Teresa. After a 45-minute drive, you will arrive at Montezuma beach. Once here, our captain will explain all the details about this experience. Our 45-minute boat journey follows the coastline, offering stunning vistas of the Pacific Ocean to the right and the scenic Nicoya Peninsula to the left. Throughout the boat ride from July to November, you will likely spot playful dolphins, leaping manta rays, ancient turtles, or, if fortune smiles upon you, you might even catch a glimpse of humpback whales.

Upon arriving at the amazing Tortuga Island, we will moor our boat near the prime snorkeling spots. The volcanic rock reef, encircled by clear waters, is inhabited by Angelfish, Porcupinefish, Morays, Needlefish, Spotted Eagle Rays, and numerous other tropical wonders that will provide you with an exceptional snorkeling adventure.

Following the incredible snorkeling adventure, our captain will guide you to the beautiful white sandy shores of Tortuga Island, where refreshments and fruit will be available while lunch is being prepared. For the meal, our chef offers freshly grilled fish (tuna fillet at the moment) or chicken, along with sautéed vegetables and tasty grilled potatoes.

Once lunch is finished, you will have the rest of the afternoon to relax and have fun. You might choose to hike, swim, rent a kayak, try a banana boat ride, take a short nap, or simply unwind on the beach. As the day winds down, we’ll board the boat again for a scenic trip back to Montezuma town.
