We had a great day with Captain Marco and Beverly! Our family of 4 were the only passengers on board that day. I think the cruise to Isla Tortuga was my favorite part. The scenery was gorgeous, and the dolphins came right up to our boat. No spider monkeys that day, alas, but we had a great time snorkeling off the shore of Isla Tortuga. The Island itself has a bit of a party vibe, but there is lots to do for families (and I will admit that I had an amazing pina colada). We rented stand up paddle boards and paddled over to a nearby deserted beach. My 11-year-old got a bit tired on the way back, and just when I was starting to worry about how I would get her back to shore, the beach crew showed up with a motor boat to bring her and her board to shore. I would highly recommend visiting Isla Tortuga with a small boat like Captain Marco's vs the big outfitters that also go there. We had such a great, personal experience. One thing to note - the boat leaves from Punterenas, not Jaco. I was a little confused about that based on the description. A driver will pick you up in Jaco if desired, but we drove directly to Punterenas to catch the boat.We had the best time on this trip to Isla Tortuga. Captain Guzman and his crew did a great job. We were lucky to see dolphins, turtles and monkeys. We enjoyed a beautiful day on the beach, snorkeled and had a wonderful lunch. I would highly recommend this tour. It's a full day experience.

OMG! What a fabulous time we had on Don Quito I with luis and Captain Marco for a girls trip/birthday celebration!! Seven of us sailed for 35 minutes to Isla Tortuga, on way to the Island we did several stops to see dolphins, a family of spider monkey, an amazing rock. ALSO we do snorkling and a very nice buffet lunch was waiting for us in isla tortuga — it was the best time ever! The sportfishing boat was very clean and the crew was very fun and attentive for the duration. We also played our own music through their speaker system and sang the day and evening away! I strongly recommend - you will not be disappointed!! Will definitely book again should we return!!
