A stunning day at sea - The tour was so great, and Emmanuel was an excellent guide. He did a great job of pointing out wildlife and sharing knowledge of the area and species with us. There wasn’t a dull moment, the day was filled with activity and fun.

Great way to smiths the day! - Cannot say enough good things about this excursion! Emanuel (our guide) was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! He made us feel like his top priority and was by our side making sure things were good the entire day. Our captain, Minor, found dolphins for us to see and let us enjoy the monkeys for a while. Emanuel snorkeled with us and helped us find the guys spots. They provided delicious fruit on the way to the island, a yummy lunch on the beach, and even some coffee! We spent about 2.5 hrs on the actual island, which was plenty of time. The whole day was wonderful and everyone in our group (ages 11 to 75) really enjoyed themselves!

Worth the $ - Just beautiful! Lots of fish and an amazing beach to relax on after snorkeling. The monkeys and the baby pigs were so cute:) the guide was very knowledgeable, fun, and warm. They always had water, fruit, and snacks available, and lunch was delicious. 10/10, great tour!

I would do it again and again - What an awesome experience we had. The tour guide Mela was sweet and friendly. Loved the food, the island the drinks. When you get to island you pay to get a lounge chair, drinks are yummy try the coco loco. The ride was choppy but fun.

Amazing family experience - We had an amazing tour and day at Turtle Island. Chris was our tour guide and he did an incredible job of giving us a lot of Costa Rican history during the boat ride (which was unexpected and highly amazing!) Our tour guide was super friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and helpful. We loved snorkeling, the refreshments on the boat, and having lots of time to relax and enjoy Turtle Island. We saw dolphins (a total win with our kids) and enjoyed a great lunch. Highly recommend this tour!

Great day! - Veronica was great. She and driver really went all out to ensure a good experience. We saw all the things: dolphins, spider monkeys, great fish at great snorkeling spot. The island itself has great ocean swimming and clear waters but there wasn't much to do. Food was ok, toilets take cash only. Worth it if you want to do good snorkeling and see those adorable spider monkeys. Staff couldn't have been better.

A disappointing and failed trip. - Make sure that you confirm with the company by phone a few days before your planned trip. Our trip was rescheduled due to weather. The day before our trip, we were suddenly asked to pay for pick up from our hotel. This was supposed to be included. We decided to drive to the place ourselves, but did not realize that it did not have a sign saying: Marina. It only said resort and the was a gated community with a bar across the entrance. So without knowing it, we drove by it and got lost in a poor neighborhood without any cell connection. Due to this problem, we missed the boat. Very disappointing. You definitely want to be picked up because you won't find it otherwise. Supposedly, they will reimburse us. Still waiting for that! If you are going during the rainy season, just be prepared that the weather is .... rainy and unpredictable.

Poor customer service - The tour was cancelled. I had to track down info myself about the tour & at 6:00 pm the night before found someone to response to a chat to tell me the tour was cancelled. Otherwise we may have been standing at the pickup wondering if we would ever be picked up.
