Must do! Highlight of our entire cruise! - Beautiful small boat tour with 13 people from our ship. There was a hiccup with the pick-up which they handled quickly with taxis. OJ was an outstanding guide. Our boat was surrounded by dolphins (false killer whale kind), which was so awesome because we didn’t really expect to see any. We did not see monkeys but we had lots of mini-boars around on the island. Swimming/snorkeling in the ocean was great! Lunch was excellent. Lots to drink. Our group wanted to leave the island early so they toured us around some extra islands and floating restaurant on the way back and gave us nice drinks at the Coco Island bar where we rinsed off.

An October Day at Tortuga - We lucked out all around. We saw bottled nosed dolphins, some other species as well, spider monkeys, deer, and a humpback whale and he calf. The beach and food was great! Snorkeling was decent. Overall it was well worth it for us!!

Tour to Turtle Island - I have done several tours to Turtle Island and the truth is that I keep Coco's Tours from all the best operators.
The Best Care, the Best Service, the Best Guide, you feel like family.
In addition to taking you snorkeling, they explain the animals present in the Islands and the importance of them in the biosystem.
Finally, the food is made of the day and super fresh.

An amazing experience despite the weather - We did the tour from Puntarenas to Tortuga Island and it was an experience that exceeded my expectations. Although the day dawned rainy, that did not stop us from enjoying ourselves to the fullest. The journey was beautiful, with spectacular scenery, and upon arrival to the island we were greeted by a warm and charming beach.
The captain, the guide and his companions were super friendly at all times, very attentive and professional. The food was delicious: we ate a typical married couple that we loved, plus fresh fruit and unlimited drinks throughout the day, which was a great detail.
I would definitely schedule a tour with them again. I recommend them 100%!

It was pouring rain when... - It was pouring rain when we woke up the morning of the trip, and we knew it would be dangerous to snorkel in that weather. Plus, we knew the boat ride — and pretty much everything else about the trip — would be awful.
We were picked up in a little pickup truck, and luckily, another couple joined us. The man spoke fluent Spanish and immediately realized that we were eligible for a refund. He mentioned that he’d been trying to contact the tour company since the day before, but no one was answering — he even called Viator directly!
The fisherman who owned the boat was kind and understanding, but he explained that the decision wasn’t up to him. So, he drove the four of us to another location. The other customer got out and spoke with the tour operators, firmly but politely requesting a refund for all of us. It took quite a bit of discussion, but finally, the man agreed and gave us our refund.
I was so thankful we were with that other couple — they truly saved the day for us!
