Everything I hoped for - Coco's provided everything that was promised, plus more. We were looked after from the moment we arrived at the meeting place and directed to a safe place to park our car, through to someone waiting with a hose pipe to wash the sand off our feet when we arrived back.
On the voyage across to the island, we stopped to watch dolphins swimming around the boats and stopped at a small island to go snorkelling amongst large shoals of colourful fish. Isla Tortuga itself was very busy and touristy, but we had our own allocated eating area where fruit and drinks were provided on arrival, followed by a good quality lunch (chicken or tuna) and coffee & cookies later.
Overall, a great day out - many thanks to the Coco's team.

Memorable experience - This was an incredible experience. They serve lunch, which is great for a beach day on the island. However, you’ll need to rent chairs, which costs about 20,000 colones for two, or about $20. Don’t forget to pay for the restrooms on the island, which cost around 600 colones. They offer a variety of activities, food, drinks, and snacks. There’s also a gift shop. The snorkeling was incredible, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out many great things.

Great deal for an immersive excursion!! - Our guides were kind and informative and explained all directions very easily. It was simple to leave our rental car in their parking lot, change in the restaurant/use restroom, etc., and all the snacks, lunch, and up to the smoothie the restaurant gave us upon our return was all excellent. Beautiful snorkeling and beach; 10/10! Amazing price for this excursion compared to others I looked into. The boat is a bit smaller than others, but I think that made it feel more connecting to the water as we traveled by sea! Loved it!

A beautiful and highly touristic day - Beautiful day; very nice staff, quite packed boat ride though. We saw dolphins and monkeys!! Healthy food and refreshment are offered once on the island ... which I found pretty but too crowded and very touristy. Many waves and rocky bottom so water shoes are in order. Good quality snorkling equipment and very clean. Special thanks to our guide.
