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.

Discover what waits beyond the marinas. Take a cruise to Tortuga Island.
