Sustainability is the foundation of Costa Rican tourism, promoting (and protecting) its unique environment. Few destinations within the country better embody this idea than Tortuga Island.

Tortuga Island is tucked along the tip of the Gulf of Nicoya, framed between Curu Point and the city of Jaco. It is a small island but beauty defines every inch, offering high hills and unspoiled coastlines. Its striking scenery has branded it as one of the most visited Costa Rican properties, with every day bringing divers, hikers and nature enthusiasts. 

Tortuga’s popularity is undeniable--and this once caused concern, with many fretting over the effects of travelers and the possible destruction of a delicately balanced ecosystem. Sustainability, however, keeps this from happening.

The island, like the rest of Costa Rica, is shielded by sustainable programs: government sponsored regulations, all tailored toward conservation. Tortuga is protected by the country. It is uninhabited (save for a small group of locals who lease the land and oversee its day-to-day needs) and well-preserved. Visitors are encouraged to explore its three square miles but must abide by strict rules while doing so. This ensures that nature and tourism can co-exist.

And that enables Tortuga Island to remain a favorite for years to come.

Costa Rica is more than an angler’s playground--even as every wave seems to hide a new school of fish and every line yields a catch. 

Instead it’s the destination of divers, offering a rich underwater experience for every scuba-enthusiast. Consider Tortuga Island.

Waiting beyond the city of Jaco is Tortuga Island. Its white sands and lush slopes make it an obvious favorite of travelers, with over one hundred estimated visitors each week indulging in its natural wonders. What’s beyond the shore, however, makes it an easy choice for divers as well.

Surrounding Tortuga is the Pacific Ocean, with its collection of reefs and dynamic marine life. Clear waters frame the island, ensuring high visibility and effortless diving. The currents are steady and there are several shallow points for amateurs to enter, allowing every adventurer the chance to explore. There are no high concerns, with even passing cruise ships proving easy to avoid with their designated routes.

Costa Rica is often cited for its fishing opportunities. Tortuga Island, however, offers chances for snorkeling and scuba-diving. Charter a ship (like the Fun In Paradise) and discover what’s beneath the sea.

Anglers have one passion: to fish. The summer season sees them hurrying to the shores of Costa Rica, trying to track the endless collection of Marlins, Snooks and Jack Crevalles. Every thought is weighted with back-casting and drop-shots. There’s no need, they’re sure, for anything else.

Costa Rica offers more than fishing adventures, however. Instead... there’s Tortuga Island.

Tortuga Island is cradled along the Golfo de Nicoyo. This tiny isle--a three square mile sprawl of white sand and arching palms--seems, at first, to be an unlikely destination for fishermen. It is an isolated area, nestled hours from the marinas and typical deep-sea spots.

What it provides, however, is a way to sample the true beauty of Costa Rica, allowing anglers to pause in their quests for Sailfish and to instead enjoy the shore--which is why a Tortuga Island cruise (like the one provided by the Fun In Paradise crew) is recommended.

Navigate the Pacific and discover a land untouched. A Tortuga cruise lasts eight hours in total, bringing travelers from the heart of Jaco to a small paradise that's ripe with exotic blooms and wildlife. The island offers a wealth of activities, such as snorkeling, diving and hiking. The true reason for any fisherman to visit, however, is to experience what makes Costa Rica such a rare location: a diverse environment and peerless views.
