Coco's Turtle Island Tour - Super recommended the coconut tour! Excellent treatment, guide Daniel provided us with information and assistance at all times. We were able to snorkel and spend the day on turtle island. Coco's includes lunch and non-alcoholic beverages during the full experience. On the way back we could see dolphins near the boat.

A wonderful day out - From start to finish, the tour was excellent. Both the captain and the tour guide were really friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. We had some of the best snorkelling we have ever experienced. So many fish! The food was healthy and delicious. We couldn’t recommend this more and certainly couldn’t fault any of the day. Thank you for an extremely enjoyable excursion.

Beautiful Destination, Poor Organization and Safety - Isla Tortuga is absolutely beautiful the beach, the water, and the scenery are truly breathtaking and worth visiting. Our tour guide was very kind, professional, and genuinely tried his best to keep things calm and positive throughout the trip.
Unfortunately, the overall organization of the tour was extremely disappointing. To begin with, the boat was overcrowded, making the trip uncomfortable from the start. On top of that, we were not given any food until lunchtime, more than five hours after the tour had started.
Because of this poor planning, one young woman suffered a serious drop in blood sugar and fainted. What made the situation even more alarming was that the company did not have any medical equipment or emergency supplies on board to handle the situation properly. Despite the guide’s efforts, they eventually had to ask another company for medical assistance, which should never happen on a tour like this.
Although Isla Tortuga itself is stunning, this incident completely ruined the experience for us. With better organization, proper safety measures, and basic care for guests, this could have been a great day but sadly, it was not.
