Can I get picked up in one location and get dropped off somewhere else?
Yes! Bay Island Cruises can definitely do that. There is no extra fee for San Jose and Jaco.
I’m a solo traveler. Can I still do the tour?
Yes! From Puntarenas, San Jose and Jaco there is no minimum passenger requirement.
I’m staying in Puntarenas. Where do I meet the boat?
Since the boat is in Puntarenas, you can drive to the boat dock which is 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 meet in Puntarenas, then you can certainly drive there yourself. The tour company doesn’t have a parking lot but you can leave your car at Cabinas Frank or the small hotel next to it. 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.
I’m staying close to one of the pick up locations and need transportation. Can I get picked up?
It will depend on where you are staying. For example, Bay Island Cruises can pick up at Playa Hermosa next to Jaco since they are very close to each other. Make sure to write in the special instructions section where you are staying.
Bay Island Cruises doesn’t pick up in Alajuela or on the Alajuela side of the San Jose Airport.

Hello! Is it too late to go tomorrow 12/30/18?
Sammi says
Hi Cynthia, sorry we require 24 hours in advance to make reservations and they’re completely booked today. Is there another day you can go?
Helga Gilbert says
I am trying to book the Tortuga Island trip for 6 adults. I’ve tried twice and have not been re-directed to a new page, nor gotten an e-mail from you.
I do not have a PayPal account, so I need to pay using a credit card.
We are staying at a private residence in Playa Hermosa, Jaco.
Sammi says
Hi Helga, if all required sections weren’t filled out the form won’t go through. I apologize you’re having issues with it.
I will send you an email with more information.
Helga says
All required sections were filled – except for the PayPal account. I do not have a PayPal account.
I am still waiting for your e-mail with more information.
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
Sammi says
Hi Helga, I already emailed you twice from hello@Mytanfeet.com. Can you check your spam folder just in case it slipped in there? I emailed all of the details in there. Let me know if you have received it.
Sammi says
Hi Helga, can you please check your spam folder? I’ve emailed four times but it seems my emails aren’t reaching your inbox. Thank you.
Valerie says
How does anyone know if you received a tour request? I’ve hit submit but haven’t not received any type of confirmation that the request went though. Thanks!
Sammi says
Hi Valerie! If it went through you would have been redirected to a new page. If not, then all the required sections weren’t filled out. If you have any more issues with the form, you can email us at hello@mytanfeet.com
Pinkie says
Hi there, if we wanted to drive into jaco from manuel Antonio and then picked up, would there be parking for us in Jaco? We would have ideally liked to have been picked up from manuel Antonio but unfortunately there are only two of us on our honeymoon 🙁
Sammi says
Hi Pinkie! That is totally fine, you can drive to a hotel and leave your car there, most of the hotels will let you do that. I recommend the Best Western since they have a more secure and large parking lot, you can call them to see if that’s OK and how much it will cost to leave your car there. Then Bay Island can pick you up and drop you off right at the best Western.
