I discovered two of the most incredible destinations in the Nicoya Gulf in an experience that combines history, nature, adventure, and beach. The tour starts heading to San Lucas Island, a place full of history and surrounded by unique natural landscapes. You will have the opportunity to learn about part of its past as a former penitentiary island of Costa Rica, while touring its main attractions and enjoying its surroundings.
Afterward, it will continue to Tortuga Island, famous for its crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and abundant marine life. There you will have time to relax on the beach, enjoy a delicious lunch by the sea, and experience snorkeling in its waters.
An ideal adventure for those who want to learn the history of Costa Rica and enjoy a full day of sea, nature, and beach. Come discover San Lucas and Tortuga and take an experience that combines the best of both destinations in one day.

1Isla San Lucas
On the tour to San Lucas Island, they will visit the old presidio, its ruins, and stories will be told about what happened at the site, stories of the prisoners, of those that can be seen on the walls, stories of workers, and even our own history as operators at the site. San Lucas Island is a National Park where three important points are preserved: the structure of the old prison, the nature it safeguards, and the pre-Columbian indigenous heritage.
