What is Isla Tortuga?

Isla Tortuga is located in the Gulf of Nicoya, off the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. With powdery white beaches, clear blue waters, and lush greenery, it’s often considered one of the most beautiful islands in Central America. It’s a protected sanctuary, meaning it remains unspoiled and pristine, perfect for snorkeling, swimming, hiking, and relaxing.

Accessible by boat from Jaco, Montezuma, or Puntarenas, Isla Tortuga is a favorite for both locals and tourists looking to escape the mainland and immerse themselves in a tropical paradise.

Scenic Boat Ride Across the Pacific

Your adventure begins with a beautiful boat ride across the Gulf of Nicoya. As you cruise over the sparkling waters, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the coastline, spot playful dolphins or sea turtles, and feel the ocean breeze as you make your way to the island. This is the perfect time to take photos, sip on a cold drink, and get excited for the day ahead.

Subwing Experience – Glide Underwater Like Never Before

One of the highlights of this tour is, of course, the Subwing session. If you’ve never tried Subwing before, get ready for an experience like no other.

You’ll hold onto a specially designed wing that is towed slowly behind the boat. With just a slight tilt of your wrist, you’ll glide effortlessly underwater, twist, turn, dive, and explore the reef below—almost as if you were flying. It’s safe, easy to learn, and incredibly fun. Even first-timers are amazed at how natural it feels.

And because we keep the group small, you’ll have plenty of time in the water, with personalized instruction and guidance from our experienced crew.

Free Time on Isla Tortuga

Once you arrive at Isla Tortuga, you’ll have plenty of time to relax on the beach, go for a swim, or take a short hike to a viewpoint. Lounge under the palm trees, play beach games, or rent a kayak or paddleboard to explore the coast. The calm, shallow waters are perfect for families or beginner swimmers.

We also provide a freshly prepared lunch, snacks, and drinks so you can stay fueled throughout the day.

Snorkeling Adventure

Isla Tortuga is surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and home to a wide variety of marine life. Our crew will take you to the best snorkeling spots, where you can swim alongside tropical fish, spotted rays, and maybe even a sea turtle or reef shark.

We provide high-quality snorkeling gear and a safety briefing to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in the water.

Return with a Sunset View

As the day winds down, we’ll head back to the mainland with the sun setting behind us. It’s the perfect end to a perfect day—golden skies, peaceful waters, and memories that will last a lifetime.
