Hola – interested in the Tortuga boat trip for early April for two adults and one 11 year old. We are staying in Jaco – there pick up from Doce Lunas? Are there variations in the package? For instance, we don’t want the banana boat or alcoholic drinks. We’re most interested in getting to/from the island and snorkeling. Could you send me more information via email? Thank you.

  March 11, 2023
  
  Hi Nicole, which cruise terminal?

February 28, 2023

Hi Sammi

Thnak you for responding to our email we checked and the Emerald Princess is docking at Puerto Caldera. We do not know how far the Caldera port is from the Puntarenas dock is for the Bay Island cruise.

- Sammi says
  
  February 28, 2023
  
  Ohh that’s not too far, about 20 minutes driving.

Hello,

We are going to Costa Rica on the Princess cruise ship Emerald and will be arriving on April 26 at 7:00am and will depart at 7:00pm. The itinerary just says Puntarenas. Do you know if this is the Puntarenas dock as listed on your site or do we have to get to the dock. Is there enough time for us to get to the Puntarenas dock and get back in time to get back on the cruise ship.

Thank you

- Sammi says
  
  February 28, 2023
  
  To be honest I am not sure, it could also be Puntarenas down by Caldera as that is a huge port. I would ask.
  
Liz Devaney says

Hi!
We would like to do the Tortuga Cruise on Tuesday Feb 21 for 2 adults.
Questions:
1 – can we bring our own drinks?
2- interested in beach chairs, snorkel but not banana boat. Is that an option and what is the cost

- Sammi says
  
  February 21, 2023
  
  Hi Liz, we’ve sent you an email with more information

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?

- Sammi says
  
  August 16, 2022
  
  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
  
Alma says

February 28, 2022

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!

- Sammi says
  
  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
  
Anthony says

February 21, 2022

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?

- 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
  
LeAnne says

August 5, 2021

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?

- Sammi says
  
  August 5, 2021
  
  We can set the pick up and drop off point at the closest hotel to your Airbnb in Jaco, just write the GPS coordinates or exact location of the Google Maps/Waze in the comment section and we will find out the closest hotel
  
Cindy Acosta says

April 18, 2021

Hi, we’re staying in Manuel Antonio, we have a rental so we can drive to Jaco and get picked up from there. What time is pickup in Jaco?

- Sammi says
  
  April 18, 2021
  
  Hello Cindy, pick up time in Jaco is around 630 AM.
