What people are saying about Puntarenas Province

I had a great day, would do it again anytime. The only thing I didn't like was that the island was very crowded and there was loud partying on the beach. I was hoping that there would be a quieter corner to hike to. But I can still recommend it. April, our tour guide was super nice and helpful. I can only recommend the hike on the island for anyone who wants some peace and quiet and not just lying on the beach

A long day but well worth it. Great beach ans loved boat journey there. Well organised. Picked up bang on time and pre excursion information was excellent
