Overview

Our Jaco sunset cruise takes you on a unique experience at Playa Fantasia. Playa Fantasia is a beach that is a secret hidden gem, left untouched for our guests to enjoy. You will have the opportunity to explore the beach, enjoy a light lunch prepared by our private chef on site, open bar, hammocks, lounge chairs, and water activities.

Our Jaco sunset cruise is designed to immerse our clients in nature without the big crowds like on Tortuga Island. We keep our tours small to ensure the best experience for guests.

Fresh fruit throughout the day, open bar and snacks.
It is important for you to know that our tours ARE NOT BOOZE CRUISES, our trips are family oriented and Playa Fantasia, our destination, is a National Wildlife Reserve created to preserve the scarlet macaws.
After enjoying Playa Fantasia, we cruise back to the port while looking for dolphins, manta rays and whales.
