Gulf Islands Boat Tour: San Lucas Island & Tortuga Island in the Gulf of Nicoya

The Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica is a special region that is enjoyed by both locals and tourists alike. There are several boat tours in the gulf of Nicoya to several different unique islands. If you simply cannot choose between visiting Tortuga Island and San Lucas Island, herein lies your answer! We now offer a full day boat tour of both of these beautifully landscaped and culturally rich locations on the amazing Gulf Islands Tour.

Wake up bright and early for an exciting boat excursion on the Gulf of Nicoya that you will not soon forget! Breakfast is served on the bus in transport to the pier in Puntarenas where we will depart. Enjoy incredible sight-seeing on board either The Great Bay´s Princess Catamaran or Bay´s Princess Yacht as we head to our first destination, San Lucas Island.

Once we reach Isla San Lucas, we will take a guided tour of the old San Lucas prison which is now considered a cultural heritage site in Costa Rica. Once housing Costa Rica´s worst criminals, the graffiti left behind tells an intriguing and somewhat disturbing story of life at San Lucas Island Prison. Since the prison was closed in 1991, the San Lucas prison has been converted to a beautiful nature preserve and howler monkey haven.

Next, we will embark to Tortuga Island where a delicious lunch is served. After lunch you can relax and enjoy the beautiful island as plenty of free-time is allotted for swimming in the crystal clear waters, exploring the flora and fauna, or just relaxing on the white sandy beaches of Tortuga Island.

We arrive back to Puntarenas around 6:00pm, just in time to have dinner or drinks back at your hotel or in town with your family or friends after a full day of fun.
