Turtle island

Isla Tortuga is a beautiful tropical island located in the province of North Puntarenas. A favorite destination for many tourists, cruises are very popular for those who wish to visit the island from other cities in the country.

The peaceful Isla Tortuga is situated just off the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, pristine beaches, and beautiful wildlife reserves and refuges.

Upon arriving on the island, travelers can spend the day enjoying a wide variety of recreational activities, including swimming, hiking in the hills, playing volleyball on the beach, or simply relaxing and sunbathing on the shore. Adventure travelers are encouraged to take part in canopy tours and zip lines that will provide birds-eye views of the island and its lush forests. On the water, kayaking and taking a ride on a glass-bottom boat are other popular activities among tourists at Tortuga Island.

By spending some time on Tortuga Island, travelers on a Costa Rica vacation will have an opportunity to experience life away from the bustling city and truly connect with their natural surroundings. With the island just a short trip away from the mainland, an escape to Tortuga Island may just be the perfect way for vacationers to spend a few days in the sun.
