Experience blue water, white sand, green mountains, superb cuisine
and attentive personal service. Calypso's super catamaran, Manta Raya, will
pass thru more than seven islands in the Gulf of Nicoya. Her Port of Call is
the enchantingly beautiful, palm studded Tortuga Island where you can walk the
impeccable white sand beach, swim in the turquoise waters and investigate the
marine life while the crew prepares a sumptuous feast (featured in Gourmet
Magazine).
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.
