Overview

I discovered two of the most incredible destinations in the Nicoya Gulf in an experience that combines history, nature, adventure, and beach. The tour starts heading to San Lucas Island, a place full of history and surrounded by unique natural landscapes. You will have the opportunity to learn about part of its past as a former penitentiary island of Costa Rica, while touring its main attractions and enjoying its surroundings.

Afterward, it will continue to Tortuga Island, famous for its crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and abundant marine life. There you will have time to relax on the beach, enjoy a delicious lunch by the sea, and experience snorkeling in its waters.

An ideal adventure for those who want to learn the history of Costa Rica and enjoy a full day of sea, nature, and beach. Come discover San Lucas and Tortuga and take an experience that combines the best of both destinations in one day.
