This island is a must-see. This other-worldly excursion was definitely the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. However, in talking with our fellow-tourists on the catamaran there, we learned that some had paid more than twice as much as we had because they didn't book through Rain Forest Tours, a Costa Rican travel agency. When we arrived at the... More

A great place to go and snorkel!! Once you've finished snorkeling around, go to the island and spend some time relaxing on the beach, playing volleyball and enjoying some lunch! More

We traveled to Tortuga Island with Samanthatours.com ($90 pp). It was not peak tourist season so we only had about 25 tourists on our trip. The boat trip took 2 1/2 hours and it was just gorgeous.

The island itself... More

We boarded the large catamaran boat for a 2 hour trip across the gulf to Tortuga Island. The boat was slow, and had a local band playing all... More
