About: Tortuga Island Subwing
We invite you to embark on an exhilarating day-long adventure on our private speedboat trip to the picturesque Tortuga Island. Your day of exploration and leisure begins with a convenient pickup service from your hotel in Jaco at 7:30 am sharp. From here, we’ll transport you to the nearby sandy shores of Herradura Beach, where our sleek and comfortable speedboat awaits. Embarking on a thrilling 40-minute journey across the azure waters, we’ll reach our snorkeling destination ahead of the larger tour groups, ensuring you a serene and undisturbed underwater experience. Delve into the vibrant marine life as you snorkel through the crystal-clear waters, making for a truly unforgettable experience. Once our snorkeling escapade concludes, we’ll navigate to the pristine Tortuga Island. Here, you’ll be treated to a delicious breakfast snack to refuel your energy. This also serves as the perfect opportunity for a brief introduction to the unique subwing, offering another thrilling underwater adventure.
Our journey continues further. Next on our itinerary is a visit to a neighboring beach or island renowned for its resident spider monkeys. Here, you can unwind on plush beach chairs, bask in the tropical sun, try stand-up paddle boarding, enjoy a refreshing swim, or engage in plenty of other beach-side activities. Your hunger will be satiated with a sumptuous lunch served around noon. We offer various meal options for your dietary preferences, including fish, chicken, and vegetarian dishes. As the day winds down, we’ll return to our boat at approximately 3 pm for the journey back. We want you to be settled back at your hotel by 4 pm. As you know, this exclusive private tour requires at least four participants.

This was a different experience to Tortuga Island, being on both the Catamaran and other boats, this was fun. Smaller boat and a private experience. The subwing was a lot of fun, a little difficult for the first minute or so, then you get the hang of it quickly. Overall this was a lot of fun and really enjoyed the more private version of Tortuga Island!

Great experience for the whole family. The beach was nicely shaded and snorkeling was a nice touch in the bay. The speed was a bit high for the choppiness of the water but overall a fun ride. Robert provided delicious empanadas, drinks and fruit along with the lunch while at the beach. Looking over at the more crowded catamarans and other tours, I was very glad that we opted for a private boat.
