Isla Tortuga

Hi

 

we’re on a cruise with Princess, arriving at Puntarenas on 9 November. The most popular tour on tripadvisor seems to be to Isla Tortuga, 90 mins from Puntarenas by catamaran and 5 hours ashore. It’s an appealing alternative to the rainforest tours etc which entail quite long periods on a coach and are often reviewed as disappointing - over touristy, little wildlife seen etc

 

The island trip isn’t offered as a ship excursion; maybe there’s a good reason for that! Has anyone been on the tour?

Did you do this tour? I, too, can't find any reviews on cruise critic concerning doing this excursion from a stop in Costa Rica (versus being there and not having to worry about boarding a ship)

I went a few years ago.  The boat ride over was very pleasant.  We saw a few dolphins on the way there and a lovely sunset on the way back.  The beach is pretty.  Some people were snorkling but I did not join them.
