SNORKELING IN ISLAS TORTUGA, COSTA RICA
An unforgettable day in paradise
Snorkeling is the easiest way to discover the underwater world of Costa Rica. On our all-inclusive snorkeling day tour, we will take you to Islas Tortugas, a small archipelago with one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. This archipelago consists of two islands: Isla Alcatraz and Isla Tolinga, also known as Isla Tortuga because of its turtle shape.
Warm turquoise water, colorful marine life, and white sandy beach – it is the place that comes to your mind when you think of paradise. What’s more, it is also a perfect place for snorkeling.
We will provide you with a life jacket, fins, mask, and snorkel and then we will guide you through the waters, to discover the unparalleled underwater beauty of these islands.
FREEDIVING
Isla Tortugas is a paradise for freedivers of all levels. Beginners can fun dive in shallow waters while more advanced divers can play deeper to discover stunning landscapes and abundant marine species.
Join us for an amazing day in Islas Tortugas!
TORTUGA ISLAND PRIVATE DAY TOUR – Itinerary
We will depart from Malpaís and sail along the coast of Nicoya peninsula. During the trip, you can admire the beauty of the Costa Rican coast on the left, and the majestic Pacific Ocean on the right. Dolphins, manta rays and turtles may come to say hi, and, if we are lucky, even humpback whales.
Once we arrive at the best snorkeling spots in the archipelago Islas Tortugas, you’ll be able to dive into the turquoise waters and discover our underwater treasures with our guides. The volcanic rock reef is home to fascinating tropical creatures like angelfish, octopuses, starfish, porcupinefish, morays, needlefish, spotted eagle rays, and more!
This is one of the things that makes Costa Rica dive resorts some of the best in the world – the stunning majesty of its waters, and the lives contained within. It’s also the reason why we consider snorkeling and diving to be essential components for any of the best wellness retreats Costa Rica plays host to – that freeing sensation of being one with nature.
After enjoying the morning under the sea, it is time to recharge your batteries with some food. Our captain will take you to the postcard-perfect beach of Isla Tolinga, where you will be served some refreshing fruits and drinks, before our chef brings the main course, a traditional meal with the flavors of Nicoya Peninsula.
After lunch, you will have some free time to enjoy on your own. You can go snorkeling or diving again, swim, walk by the sea, rent a kayak or a banana boat, explore the island, or just chill in the sun.
We will start heading back to Malpaís while you look back on the amazing day you spent in the magical Islas Tortugas. There, you can slow things down and enjoy another side of wellness, look back over your photos, or start looking ahead to another adventure in the water.
