    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.

        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
