Hi! Planning to book this tour but need some insights! We will be staying at Shana by the Beach – should we drive (have a rental car) to Jaco’s for the pick up and which hotel in Jaco is preferred for the pick up? Also, when we are dropped off, will driving at night back to Shana hotel be safe?

Thanks so much for your help! I love you site, it’s SOOO helpful!

  Hi Victoria, for Manuel Antonio, our partners require a minimum of 4 people and they have an extra fee. But you can drive to Jaco and meet the bus there and get transportation without an extra charge. The drive from Jaco to Manuel Antonio is very easy so you should be fine to drive back after the tour. We sent you an email to continue your tour booking

Hola! I am interested in this tour for the snorkeling. Is the snorkeling very good? We’ll be there the beginning of July. I am considering going to Uvita instead of Jaco to be able to go to Cano Island, it just adds a lot more travel – is it worth it in your opinion? Or is there a place that would have snorkeling further north. We’ll be at Monteverde before heading to the Pacific coast.

  Hello Alan, we sent you an email with more information but basically, for serious/better snorkeling, Cano Island is much better. Tortuga Island isn’t a dedicated snorkeling activity, more of a fun boat cruise and there isn’t a marine reserve like Cano Island, you definitely see way more at Cano Island. The snorkeling session at Tortuga Island is only like 30 minutes.

Hi,

My partner and I are interested in a tour of Tortuga Island on 2/9/24, leaving from San Jose. A couple of questions for you:

1) We’re going for the snorkeling and the beauty of the boat ride. We like smaller groups and having a naturalist available, when possible. We’d definitely rather avoid a boat that’s all about drinking and partying (e.g. free cocktails). Is Bay Island Cruises the right tour for us? If not, do you have another recommendation?

2) We’re staying in the Escazu area the night before and won’t have a car so will be taking a Lyft/Uber to get to a hotel for pick up. Do you know which hotel would be closest to us? And which tour would leave closer to 6am rather than 4:30am?

Thanks very much for your advice. Your website has been super helpful for us so far in planning our trip!

Wendy

  Hi Wendy, to be honest I’m not sure if this is right tour for you because there is not naturalist guide available and the tour is a bit more of a party boat with music, a bar, and lots of city Ticos do this tour with Bay Island, especially on weekends and holidays and they like to have a good time.
