Tour and Tortuga Island Pictures:
Cruising along the coast for a breathtaking 50-minute boat ride is how you’ll begin your voyage to
Tortuga Island.
Jagged volcanic rock spills into the sea to create a dramatic contrast with the brown sand, red rocks and crushed shells that make up the variety of different beaches along the way.
Spotting a group of playful dolphins, marveling at the enormous jumping manta rays or for the luckiest of visitors, catching a glimpse of surfacing humpback whales are just a few examples of the marine life frequently viewed as we make our way to the island.
Upon arriving to the tropical paradise of
Tortuga Island we anchor the boat within viewing distance of the white sand beach for our first snorkeling session.
The crystal waters at
Tortuga Island are surrounded by volcanic rock reef which is home of the best snorkeling site on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast.
King Angelfish, Porcupine fish, Morays, Needlefish, Spotted Eagle Rays and a myriad of other tropical beauties make for a phenomenal snorkeling experience.
Not to mention the oysters your guide might find for a fresh ceviche on the beach!
After your incredible snorkeling adventure we take you onto the white sand beach of
Tortuga Island.
While lunch is being prepared grab a cold drink and take a stroll along the beach and swim in the calm crystal waters.
For lunch our chef serves up fresh BBQ fish or chicken in his secret sauce, tasty grilled potatoes and vegetables, bread and a big fresh tropical fruit buffet.
The rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy.
Take part in a volleyball game or rent a kayak to discover the other secluded beaches of the island.
Or for the more adventurous take a hike up to the top of the island for some spectacular views of the Gulf of Nicoya and the surrounding islands.
Join us for a second snorkeling session at a different spot on the reef or take a siesta under the coco palms on the island. As the day comes to an end we get back on the boat for the picturesque ride back to Montezuma.

Calypso's super catamaran, Manta Raya, will pass thru more than seven islands in the Gulf of Nicoya. Her Port of Call is the enchantingly beautiful, palm studded Tortuga Island where you can walk the impeccable white sand beach, swim in the turquoise waters and investigate the marine life while the crew prepares a sumptuous feast (featured in Gourmet Magazine).
Enjoy dining in the shade of white umbrellas with tables covered in white linen.
Whether you're 2 or 92 no visit to Costa Rica is complete without a trip on Calypso's world famous Tortuga Island Cruise.
The day begins at your hotel where you will be greeted by a bilingual guide and seated on an air-conditioned bus.
The bus ride takes you to the pacific port of Puntarenas stopping along the way for Costa Rican typical breakfast.
This is an excellent opportunity to view the coffee, sugar plantations, volcanic mountains and the unique Brahman cattle that form an ever-changing panorama.
Upon arrival in Puntarenas you will board Calypso's super catamaran Manta Raya. She is actually designed by Calypso Passengers suggestions since 1975.

Particularly enchanting for it's beauty, Tortuga Island is known for its immaculate white sand beach and turquoise waters, a perfect stop for swimming, snorkeling and Calypso's famous lunch.
For passenger safety and convenience Manta Raya has a bow ramp which allows her passengers to disembark directly onto the beach.
Sip cold wine in the shade of white umbrellas at tables covered with white linen and be served the midday feast. A sumptuous delight, featured in Gourmet Magazine, starts with a ceviche appetizer and followed by a medley of salads.
The main dish is a delightful bar-b-qued breast of chicken covered in a mouthwatering tropical sauce accompanied with julienned vegetables all cooked fresh on the grill by Calypso's expert crew.
