Whether you're 2 or 92 no visit to Costa Rica is complete without a trip on Calypso's world famous
Tortuga Island Cruise. The day begins at your hotel where you will be greeted by a bilingual guide and seated on an air-conditioned bus. The bus ride takes you to the pacific port of Puntarenas stopping along the way for Costa Rican typical breakfast.
This is an excellent opportunity to view the coffee, sugar plantations, volcanic mountains and the unique Brahman cattle that form an ever-changing panorama.
Upon arrival in Puntarenas you will board Calypso's super catamaran
Manta Raya. She is actually designed by Calypso Passengers suggestions since 1975.
Manta Raya has fresh water showers and full bar featuring delicious Piña Coladas made with fresh pineapple. The spacious main salon combines with an expansive deck area which includes 2 deck pools, offering a level of cruising luxury and comfort in 100% Calypso style.

Once underway the Manta Raya makes her way to the Gulf of Nicoya.
Her white clad crew pampers
guests with fresh tropical fruits and drinks. In the morning the
catamaran will pass thru the islands of San Lucas, Gypsy, Sugar Loaf, Guayabo;
Jesusita, Cedros and Negritos with Tortuga Island as the
destination.
Particularly enchanting for it's
beauty, Tortuga Island is known for its immaculate white sand
beach and turquoise waters, a perfect stop for swimming, snorkeling and
Calypso's famous lunch. For passenger safety and convenience
Manta Raya
has a bow ramp which allows her passengers to disembark directly onto
the beach. |
Sip cold wine in the shade of white
umbrellas at tables covered with white linen and be served the midday
feast. A sumptuous delight, featured in Gourmet Magazine, starts
with a ceviche appetizer and followed by a medley of salads. The main
dish is a delightful bar-b-qued breast of chicken covered in a
mouthwatering tropical sauce accompanied with julienned vegetables all
cooked fresh on the grill by Calypso's expert crew.
The Captain and his crew are the masters of this seascape. They are
seasoned mariners who will convey their love of Costa Rica to you.
Sightseeing, sunbathing, diving, exploring, swimming, eating, drinking,
and relaxing. |

Calypso's One Day Adventure is a tour-de-force of everything that is magical about Costa Rica's magnificent pacific coast and is necessary before one can say he has explored Costa Rica completely.
