VerifiedTortuga Bay island day trip is amazing The Tortuga Bay island excursion through Bryan was absolutely phenomenal. The boat ride there and back were both so nice in the sun with great music. Throughout the experience there were constant drinks and fresh fruit offered by the staff. There was a free lunch included which was genuinely one of the best meals I had while in Costa Rica. The cost is extremely reasonable considering what is offered with the snorkelling, banana boat, and complimentary drinks along with the amazing care from the staff. If you want to have the best experienced possible while in Costa Rica, do the Tortuga Bay tour with Bryan.

VerifiedAmazing day Picked up right on time and out we went. Christian and Carlos took the time to ask what we were hoping for, and we started with catching two Mahi Mahi for dinner. Then an epic battle to bring in a Sailfish for a picture, and a surprise catch of a big red snapper to top it off. While my son and I fished, the captain had my wife and niece in stitches with stories. Absolutely perfect experience, would certainly and enthusiastically use them again.

VerifiedATV experience Five stars for ATV experience through Brian at Wahoo Sportfishing Jaco! The route they take you on transitions from dry terrain to lush jungle reaching the falls where you can stop by for a quick swim, crossing various streams and mud paths. Well organized, private tour and the equipment was top-notch. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable and thrilling experience.
