Description:

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 with a typical Costa Rican breakfast along the way. This is an excellent time to view the coffee, sugar plantations, volcanic mountains as well as the unique Brahman cattle that are a part of the varied panorama

Upon arrival in Puntarenas you will board Calypso’s super catamaran Manta Raya. She is actually designed in 1975 from suggestions made by Calypso Passengers. Manta Raya has fresh water showers and full bar featuring delicious Piña Coladas made with fresh pineapples. The spacious main salon combines with an expansive deck area which includes 2 deck pools, offering a level of cuisine luxury and comfort in 100 % Calypso style.

Once underway the Manta Raya makes her way to the Gulf of Nicoya.

Here white clad crew pampers guests with fresh tropical fruits and drinks. In the morning, the catamaran will pass the islands of San Lucas, Gypsy, Sugar Loaf, Gyuayabo; Jesusita, Cedros, and Negritos with Tortuga Island as the final destination.

Particularly enchanting for it’s beauty, Tortuga Island is known for its immaculate white sand beach and turquoise waters, a perfect spot 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 a midday feast. A sumptuous delight, featured in Gourmet Magazine, it 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 mouth watering tropical sauce accompanied with julienned vegetables all cooked fresh ont he 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 fo Costa Rica to you. Sightseeing, sunbathing, diving, exploring, swimming, eating, drinking, and relaxing. see www.calypsocruises.com
