Isla Tortuga really feels like a tropical paradise, with stunning views and plenty of opportunities to unwind. We enjoyed a delicious lunch on the beach, which was a nice touch after the snorkeling session where we got to see colorful marine life up close. Although the boat ride was longer than expected, the beauty of Puntarenas made it worthwhile. It’s a great way to take a break, especially if you’re juggling business commitments, but just be prepared for the somewhat crowded snorkeling spots. Overall, it was a memorable escape from the usual hustle and bustle.

We had a fantastic time exploring the breathtaking beauty of Isla Tortuga during our day trip from Puntarenas in Costa Rica. The snorkeling was definitely a highlight, with vibrant marine life that exceeded our expectations. We appreciated the delicious lunch provided, which felt like a little slice of paradise amidst all the tropical scenery. However, the boat ride was a bit longer than we anticipated, making us feel slightly rushed during our time on the island. Overall, this experience gave us the chance to discover a stunning corner of Costa Rica that we won’t soon forget.
