Tortuga Island Discount FAQ

How long is the day cruise?

Depending on your location, pick up is around 5-6 AM and you will return around 7 PM.

What is the itinerary for the day like?

Here is the itinerary for pick up in San Jose with approximate times.

6 AM: Pick up in San Jose

8:30 AM: Arrive at Puntarenas dock (snack breakfast)

10:30 AM: Arrive at Tortuga Island (snacks)

1 PM: Lunch

3:30 PM: Leave Tortuga Island (snacks)

5:30 PM: Arrive at Puntarenas dock

8:30 PM: Arrive in San Jose

I’m a solo traveler. Can I still do the tour?

Yes! As long as the tour is running, you can join and get our discount.

I’m staying in Puntarenas. Where do I meet the boat?

Since the boat is in Puntarenas, you will meet the group at the Bay Island Cruises boat dock in Puntarenas, right next to Restaurante Mar Abierto, by the Puntarenas Paquera ferry. But if you need transportation, then you’ll need to select the San Jose/Puntarenas option with transportation.

Can I drive to Puntarenas?

Yes! If you have a car and want to drive yourself to Puntarenas, then you can certainly do that. The tour company doesn’t have a parking lot but you can leave your car at Cabinas Frank hotel parking lot. It’s a private parking lot and costs around 5000 colones for the whole day. You can find street parking but we recommend a private secure parking lot since you will be leaving the car all day.

Here is their meeting point at the dock: https://goo.gl/maps/CP9ybxR4WzFmFaK57

Where does Bay Island Cruises pick up in San Jose?

Roundtrip transportation is included from hotels in downtown San Jose, La Sabana, San Pedro and those neighborhoods. They do not provide transportation from Alajuela or on the Alajuela side of the San Jose Airport.

    Are public bathrooms available at the beach? Are there other food/ dining options available at the beach? Are beach chairs included in the tour or available to rent?

      There are bathrooms on the beach (each company has their own bathrooms) so you’ll use the ones owned by the tour operator. There is a small snack stand owned by the local family of the island and beach chairs are included in the package

    Hi,
    Thank you for all the great travel info. Does this day tour to Tortuga Island operate on Sundays? I’m planning out our itinerary and I just realized I don’t know if anything is open on Sundays. Also, any pandemic guidance? Thank you!

      March 1, 2022

      Yes! They do. And once you fill out the form, we will check availability to reconfirm.

      Costa Rica doesn’t have too much of pandemic guidelines anymore except masks are to be worn indoors, every business can operate at 100% without social distancing, and on the boat, I would bring a face mask if you will be taking the transportation

    Hello! I see this article is from a few years back. Is all of the information still accurate? Saw a few small differences on the company website.

    Is the price cheaper if we don’t need transportation?

    Reply
    • Sammi says

      February 22, 2022

      Yes its the same

      If you have your own transportation, please choose the Puntarenas dock option – you’ll meet the group at the dock and it is a bit cheaper, you don’t get the snack breakfast included so you need to get breakfast on your own because you don’t get lunch until about 1

    We are staying in an AirBNB in Jaco. Would you recommend parking at a hotel in Jaco and being picked up there? Or driving to Puntarenas ourselves to see some other things along the little road trip?

      Hi Andrea, the tour company doesn’t pick up in Coco as it is too far (3.5 hours from Puntarenas). You will need to go to Puntarenas to do the tour.

        Also, what is included on the Tortuga Island tour that you recommend. I have found comments mentioning that there are no lounge chairs available in the beach, that there are no bathrooms, and that they cost extra if you want to use them.

        Please send me as many details as possible. Muchas gracias
