Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Gray Line Costa Rica, La Uruca, San Jose 10110 Costa Rica
After early morning pickup at your centrally located hotel, travel 1.5 hours by comfortable coach to Puntarenas. Snack on a simple breakfast consisting of a sandwich, juice and fruit served on board the coach. In Puntarenas, board your spacious boat for a nearly 2-hour cruise to Tortuga Island, taking in the jungle-clad coast of this gorgeous archipelago as you go.
Pristine white sand beaches and calm turquoise water surround Tortuga Island, making it a perfect place to swim and snorkel. With approximately five hours to spend at your leisure on the island, it’s up to you whether you want to relax, be active, or both! Sunbathe on the beach or go for a dip in the sea. Explore hiking trails or play sports on the beach. You can also choose to snorkel, kayak or take a banana boat ride for a small additional charge.
While you are soaking up the tropical ambiance, your guide prepares a gourmet buffet lunch for you to snack on when you get hungry. Your lunch choices include salads, grilled fish or chicken accompanied by rice and sautéed vegetables, fresh fruits, wine, and Costa Rican coffee. A few musicians play fun beach music as you enjoy your meal.
After a day in paradise, head back to San Jose, retracing your steps by boat and coach. Your tour ends when you are returned to your hotel in the evening.
Stop At: Tortuga Island, Puntarenas 00000 Costa Rica
At Tortuga Island you will experience a day full of beautiful skies, great ocean views and live music. On board the yacht savory tropical fruits and refreshing natural drinks will be served. Then, you will explore
the island, immersing yourself in the calm clear waters and lush landscape, where you can take a swim,
sunbathe, and/or take an optional tour like kayaking or canopy. Then a delicious lunch will be prepared by the crew.
Tortuga Island is composed of 120 hectares of gorgeous terrain, with 4 main hills; not to mention a 500 meter beach which is a recipient of the blue flag certification. On the way to Tortuga Island you will see the San Lucas Island which in the past was a security prison where no human rights existed and thus a dark age in Costa Rica´s history.

Professional, well organized, super fun, a highlight of our trip. I definitely recommend snorkeling. The on board entertainer was historical-even Got people up dancing.
My friend and I booked this trip to go together but viator booked us on two different companies. Once we realized the mistake we called from our hotel and was on hold for over 20 minutes and had to go on separate buses as the tour guides were waiting. When we asked if we could go on the same bus they told us no the only way was to pay cash and then call viator to pay one of us back. With Viator causing this issue I wasn't about to take that chance. Well then we got to the island at different times and my package was way different than my friends. When we compared everything that should have been included like snack/breakfast on the bus etc. it was not the same service we paid for. Grey lines which I was booked on and the other company she was booked on gave way to different experiences. I booked many other tours with viator but I would never take a tour with Grey lines again. Not only did we not get the same services but then the time on the island was longer for her too. With the exception of the island being beautiful the trip was a complete letdown. Viator I expected way better booking from you and would not do business with Grey lines anymore.
This was such a beautiful tour! The boat ride was breath-taking, with great music, very friendly staff and excellent snacks and drinks. Once on the island, there was plenty to do and see. We did the snorkeling and saw lots of fish. We also did the banana boat which was really fun. I wouldn't recommend it for small children or possibly older travelers as they DO try to flip the boat and send everyone into the water. We liked it though. The lunch was fantastic! The fish especially was SOOOOO good. They also had lockers for rent at the gift shop, which I highly recommend getting if you're not going to be laying around the whole time. Don't forget to keep the receipt for it because you get about half your money back when you return the key.
Perfect day out. The team that handed the trip is phenomenal and took care of the participants admirably! Do not miss it.
It was amazing experience!! the crew was outstanding and hospitality was really great... would definitely recommend this tour to everyone...
