    Best Excursion near Jaco

    This was the best experience/excursion we booked during our trip. Not only was the staff easy to converse with with questions from the beginning but they were extremely friendly and helpful through the entire experience. From the moment we stepped on the catamaran until we stepped off the staff made us feel important and took such great care of us. At the island, it was like an all inclusive resort. If you were in the water, they came out and brought you your drinks so you didn’t have to get out. We strongly recommend the snorkeling (the staff threw bread to bring the fish to you), the banana boat was fun also. The food was amazing and there was no shortage of it. All the staff was amazing but our favorite was Ruben (Oman) Jr., talk about excellent service. He was the server of all times and treated every person like Royalty. We didn’t want or need for anything. He was on it. Also the beach was very clean. Plenty of lounges for everyone. We can’t say enough about this experience. It’s worth every penny. Honestly it’s worth more than you pay. Thank you for a great fun filled day.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that the experience was one of the highlights of your trip and that you felt so well taken care of throughout the day. Your kind words about our team mean a lot to us. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience!

    Put Tortuga Island on your to do list when in Costa Rica

    Come thirsty. A really great all day experience. Don’t freak out if your ride is a little late. You’re on Costa Rica time. Boat captain stopped when whales, dolphins and turtles were spotted. Many photo opportunities. Got to see peccaries on the island. You will truly get your money worth.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you had such an enjoyable and memorable day. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are happy to hear the experience was well worth it. We hope to welcome you back for another amazing adventure!

    This was hands-down the best experience of my trip I came as a solo traveler for my 30th birthday and when I tell you the service I and the other guests received was top-notch on top of the experience just being such a memorable one this is a MUST do. Also bring some cash to tip the crew members. They’re truly amazing and made the experience so much more worth it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re delighted to hear that your 30th birthday experience was so memorable and that the service from the crew made your solo adventure even more special. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to the entire team. We hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica for another unforgettable experience!

    All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaco.

    How much does All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island cost?

    +

    Prices start at $174 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jaco is not rushed.

    Is All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 172 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Jaco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island?

    +

    Around 60 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jaco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jaco and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jaco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Jaco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Jaco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall, Hot Springs Combo Tour with Lunch & Dinner, Jason Crocodile Tours, Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Jaco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Jaco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island?

    +

Not included: We do not offer food substitutions; Gratuities; and Premium alcohol. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 25 listed pickup locations in and around Jaco. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island?

    +

    Is All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
