The headline cruise-day excursion from Puntarenas. Catamarans leave the Muelle Turístico around 08:30, cross the Gulf of Nicoya, and anchor off Isla Tortuga's main beach by 10:30. Passengers get 3-4 hours of beach, snorkelling and lunch before the return crossing. Dolphin sightings are common.
Getting there from the port
Catamaran tours depart from the Muelle Turístico right next to the cruise berth; book the night before or at the gate.
