Isla Tortuga: The Turquoise Sanctuary of the Pacific.
Nestled in the heart of the majestic Gulf of Nicoya, just off the coast of Puntarenas, Isla Tortuga is far more than a destination; it is a sensory awakening. As we sail toward its shores, you will be greeted by a breathtaking landscape where the lush, emerald-green mountain forests meet a coastline of pristine, powdery white sand.
What makes this location truly extraordinary.?
Crystal-Clear Waters: The island is world-renowned for its transparent turquoise waters, perfect for wading waist-deep or swimming in a natural, calm pool.
Vibrant Marine Life: Beneath the surface lies a protected paradise of tropical fish and colorful reefs, offering the most spectacular snorkeling experience in the region.
A Secluded Haven: Behind the sun-drenched beach, the protected forest provides natural shade and an atmosphere of pure serenity that only a virgin island can offer.
At Sunrise Travel Company, we have chosen this precise jewel of the Costa Rican Pacific because it guarantees that “private paradise” feeling our clients deserve. It is the ultimate stage to sip a fresh coconut, feel the ocean breeze, and disconnect from the world in total elegance and comfort.
