Customer Reviews
Fantastic experience! The tour was absolutely beautiful and truly enjoyable. The guide was exceptional — knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, something really amazing. Highly recommended!
Loved it. You can either get picked up in Jaco or go to the Marina by the Marriott Los Suenos resort to board the boat. The people running the excursion were absolutely top notch. Amazing ride to the island, the captain stopped for sea turtles so people could enjoy. The beach was exquisite, private, and the chairs/umbrellas were plentiful. The gentlemen running the tour cooked a delicious, fresh lunch with more food than you could possbly eat. Great drinks and you can purchase additional cocktail tickets for a few bucks more. We live in Costa Rica (american ex-pats) and can't wait to take our next visitors on this tour. Well worth the money.
