If you're looking for a relaxing day at the beach with drinks and good food then Isla Tortuga is a great choice. There are many levels of tours so read the description carefully to find the right one for you. Some include a fancy boat, endless drinks, and lounge chairs, others may only get you to the island with a bite to eat. It also depends where you're leaving from for what options you have. We were staying in Montezuma and wanted a more budget trip, we went with the small tour company in the center of Montezuma who offered a speed boat ride and lunch for $55 US. For the price it was a great option and the food was excellent. We rented lounge chairs when we got there, which was well worth it. We paid 4,000 colones per chair, it was a bit unclear however where you could sit as some were private. You can either find a chair attendant or just sit down and they will find you, probably best to find the guy first though. They have a decent souvenir shop on the island, which also sells the national beers. There are also some public bars, but they don't have extensive options, the Coco Locos are the main coconut and rum drink and they're excellent. If you're facing the beach, there is one on the far right that we thought did a really great job, even cutting a heart shaped opening for the straw. I believe they were 3,000 colones. We also went snorkeling while we were there, definitely not the main attraction here but we saw maybe 10 different species of fish. On the way out there we got to see two turtles mating, but no turtles during our snorkel (we were there...
Read moreLots of fun from the get go, from the time you get on the boat to the island and back just continuous entertainment. Antony the MC is the best dancer and comedian. He got the crowd going with his moves, the service from the rest of the crew was excellent above and beyond what one would expect. Snorkling, banana boat rides, hiking, kayaking and volleyball are some of the activities there on the island. I would advise you buy all inclusive activity package if you're interested in them rather than buying individually there on the island. The lunch on the island was hot and fresh, grilled chicken and fish with lots of different salads and fruits, plentiful and filling. Lunch comes with wine and fruit drinks, for pop you need a ticket which is provided free on the boat. Highly recommended tour specially on the way back on the boat, live band, singing, dancing and continuous serving of beverages and fruits to keep you going. There are showers on the boat for a final rinse down from the sand. Expect a full day of fun, activities, entertainment if you're into that or a quite trip for reading, relaxation and sun bathing if you so desire. The boat is airconditioned inside, quite and cool with lots of seating. You can doze off, chat with friends or read. For the action you need to go to the top where the band is playing. Either way you'll get amazing service, lots of smiles and five...
