Amazing Experience

This tour was beyond amazing. The tour guides were amazing and made sure to stop while in route to Playa Tortuga for us to see dolphins and sea turtles. Snorkeling was amazing and lunch provided was delicious. I would definitely book again with Coco’s Tour!!!

Operator response

Hello Mr. Carlo, thank you so much for your comment. We're glad you enjoyed the trip and the service from our staff. It's a shame you didn't see the dolphins; it happens sometimes, as they move around the bay. It was a pleasure meeting you!

Great experience!

This was excellent tour ! It was on the small side so more intimate there was 10 in our group another family of 4 the tour guide and the captain. The boat was smooth even in the rough waters . We saw monkeys, a sea turtle, lots of fish when we were snorkeling and the lunch they provided was delicious! 10 out of 10 great bang for your buck thank you so much !

Amazing!

Victor y liberado were amazing! They educated our group very well over everything we saw which included dolphins, spider monkeys, and wild pigs! During our snorkeling we saw so many beautiful fishes! The boat ride was the best! It was my first time seeing a fish up close, we even got to hold it! When we arrived at the island, we were given fresh fruit and beverages. For lunch we had grilled chicken veggies and rice…and the food was amazing!!!!! We are definitely booking again next year!

Wonderful Day!!!!!!

Wonderful experience! Great and knowledgeable guides! Snorkling, whales, dolphins, spider monkeys, howler monkeys, little pig, deer! (No turtles)

Operator response

Gracias por visitarnos, nos alegra que disfrutaran del viaje, a veces los pasajeros confunden el nombre de Isla Tortuga lo relacion con avistamiento de tortugas marinas, pero el nombre lo da la forma de una de las islas. Gracias de parte de nuestro equipo de Cocos Tours.CR

Best tour of Tortuga island

Coco’s tours is a fantastic value and experience for my first time going to Tortuga island. The guides did a great job pointing out wildlife and points of interest during the boat ride over to the island. When we were snorkeling the guides make sure it is a fun and safe time, also they were knowledgeable about the wild life. The lunch provided was one of the best meals I had and was a good cap off for the post snorkeling. The trip was about 6 hours and was perfect. I will personally recommend them to anyone I know

Operator response

Hello, thank you for taking the time to recommend us, we really appreciate it, thank you so much from our team!
