Isla Tortuga - We did the boat excursion to isla Tortuga with Turismo Curu. The snorkelling session was excellent, we could see many colored fishes and we had time to relax on the beach. Many thanks to captain Miguel for this great moment, his kindness and professionnalisme. Un grand merci ! ¡ Pura Vida ! 🇨🇷☀️

Don’t recommend using this or going to the island unless you want to party with very expensive drinks. The operators ok. - The boat ride was fine. But I paid to enter the park and then paid for snorkeling tour. The park isn’t well maintained, there’s not much to see there ( I saw a duck and a quati) the snorkelling was ok, but i wouldn’t recommend it for beginners or children. There is a very strong tow around the islands . It says snorkeling for 3.5 hours, but only snorkeling for 25 minutes or so, the rest was boating and sitting on an island with very very expensive drinks. I can’t recommend this park or tour for those reasons & I wished to ask for my money back, but the operators kept us entertained. Nice group of people.

Not a regular organization... - Not a regular organization. (And we're not the type to write negative comments all the time.) Our travel agency had booked a snorkeling tour at noon then bioluminescence in the evening. The performance of snorkeling was quite laborious. There is little reception. Conditions were bad because of the storm the day before. No visibility underwater. We were not alerted that the conditions were bad either before leaving or on the boat. Then stop on a beach full of dead tree trunks and pieces of wood everywhere no place to put a towel or to swim. And especially waste everywhere even on remote and dry areas of the beach... A first tour took place in the morning at 9:30, the organization knew that conditions were not good, neither in the water nor on the beach. And no explanations of the marine fauna and surroundings, the depth of the spot... Finally we were not reassured to do the bioluminescence activity at night... And we could not get compensation for this service far from the high price.
