About This Tour
Explore the hidden history and natural beauty of San Lucas Island National Park on an unforgettable tour in one day. We begin with the search for dolphins in their natural habitat—a magical opportunity to connect with marine life in the Gulf of Nicoya. Then, we sail to the mystical San Lucas Island, where you will take an exclusive guided tour of the corners of its former penitentiary. We’ll tell you the true, mysterious and sometimes jarring stories surrounding this site, declared a National Park for its historical and cultural value. After the tour, you will relax on one of the most beautiful and tranquil beaches on the island, surrounded by nature and crystal clear waters, perfect for swimming, sunbathing or just enjoying the scenery. This tour is much more than an excursion: it is an enriching experience that connects the past with the natural beauty of Costa Rica. Ideal for those looking for something authentic, different and deeply memorable.
