The small island of Tortuga is the ideal beach getaway from Montezuma. Together with Alcatraz Island, the area makes up the Islas Negritos Biological Reserve. It’s home to fantastic places to snorkel, white sand beaches, and lots of coconuts! Tours to Tortuga Island are very popular from Jaco and San Jose. However, both destinations above involve a long trip out to the island – especially the day trips from San Jose. So for that reason, Montezuma is the best place to join a tour because of its close proximity to Tortuga Island. On tours to Tortuga from Montezuma, you’ll take a 45-minute boat ride out to the islands and take in the fantastic views along the way (you’ll also get to see Cocalito Falls!) Then it’s off to two snorkeling spots to swim with turtles, sharks, and lots of fish. From Montezuma, tours to Tortuga Island cost only $70 USD and include lunch, snacks, drinks, and your snorkeling equipment.
