San Lucas Island tour (6 hours 30 minutes)

We'll see you at the meeting point and, after a quick safety briefing, we'll set off on the speedboat through the Gulf of Nicoya and the Puntarenas mangrove forest. During our water crossing, we'll also spot dolphins, as this is an area with a high concentration of marine wildlife.

Our journey will continue through the waters surrounding the San Lucas Island National Park. Once we've arrived, we'll start a journey through its nature and history, including visits to its chapel and the historic old San Lucas Island prison.

Afterwards, we'll go to Esmerelda Beach, where you'll have 2 hours 30 minutes of free time to relax. Lunch will consist of traditional local dishes. We will then return to the Puntarenas dock, arriving at 3 pm.

San Lucas, Negritos and Cedros Islands tour (8 hours 30 minutes)

If you choose this option, we'll first sail through the Gulf of Nicoya to see the mangroves and look for dolphins. Our route will continue to San Lucas Island for a guided tour through its trails and to explore its chapel and old prison.

After visiting San Lucas Island, we'll proceed to an albatross watching tour before stepping off at the Negritos Island Biological Reserve to see monkeys in their natural habitat.

Our next stop will be Cedros Island, where you'll have 2 hours of free time to relax on the beach and have lunch. The menu offers three options: chicken, tuna, or whole fried fish with a side dish. We will then return to the dock in Puntarenas, arriving at 4 pm.
