Cocos Island National Park, also known as Cocos Island National Park Costa Rica, is a true gem among Costa Rica's islands. Located some 550 kilometers off the coast of Costa Rica, this isolated island is considered one of the most beautiful national parks in the world. Coconut Island has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its unique location and rich biodiversity.

The island is especially famous for its extraordinary underwater world. The waters surrounding the island are home to a huge variety of sea creatures, including hammerhead sharks, manta rays, dolphins and whales. Divers from around the world come here to experience unforgettable underwater adventures. As one visitor describes: 'The night dives were something beautiful for me that I have not experienced elsewhere while diving. The sharks that were feeding were rubbing up against us. An unforgettable experience.''

However, Cocos Island is not only an underwater paradise. The island itself is covered with lush tropical forest, which hides numerous waterfalls and streams. Many endemic plant and animal species can be found here, making it a veritable paradise for nature lovers and photographers. One tourist describes his experience: 'The island is beautiful and well-preserved. The guards ensure that the place is protected. With permission, you can go ashore. You should not hesitate. The island is full of waterfalls. You can also meet wild pigs.'

It is worth noting that access to the island is strictly controlled, which preserves its natural character and protects its unique ecosystem. Tours to the island are organized by certified companies, and the number of visitors is limited. As a result, anyone lucky enough to get here can enjoy the almost pristine nature and tranquility.

Coconut Island National Park is a place that impresses not only with its beauty, but also with its history. Legends circulate about pirate treasures hidden here, which adds to the island's mystery and romance. Whether you believe these tales or not, one thing is certain - the real treasure of this island is its unique nature and atmosphere.

Another fascinating place on the map of Costa Rica's paradisiacal islands is Isla del Caño, located off the coast of the Osa Peninsula. This relatively small island is a real gem for lovers of snorkeling, scuba diving and wildlife watching. Isla del Caño, although smaller than Cocos Island, is not inferior to it in terms of its abundance of marine life and scenic beauty.

The island is most famous for the crystal clear waters surrounding its shores, which are home to countless species of fish, coral and other sea creatures. As one visitor describes: 'One of the best experiences of my life, snorkeling. Thousands of fish, turtles, marine life everywhere.' This place offers an unforgettable experience for both beginners and experienced divers. The waters around the island are also home to larger sea creatures, such as dolphins and whales, which can be observed during boat trips.

The island itself is as fascinating as the surrounding waters. Covered in lush tropical vegetation, it offers visitors the opportunity to hike and observe a variety of flora and fauna. The island has a vantage point that offers breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding coastline. As one tourist notes: 'A beautiful place full of nature and beautiful landscapes, there are bathrooms and a viewpoint with an amazing view.'

It's worth noting that Isla del Caño is a biological reserve, meaning that access to it is controlled to protect the unique ecosystem. Tours of the island are organized by certified guides, which not only guarantees the safety of visitors, but also minimizes the impact of tourism on the environment. As one visitor reports: 'It can only be visited with a certified guide, as it is a biological reserve.'

Isla del Caño also offers a fascinating cultural experience. The island is home to mysterious stone spheres, whose origins and purpose remain a mystery to scientists to this day. These prehistoric artifacts add further charm and mystery to the island, making it not only a paradise for nature lovers, but also a fascinating destination for those interested in history and archaeology.

All in all, Isla del Caño is a place that combines the best of Costa Rican nature - beautiful beaches, a rich underwater world, lush tropical vegetation and fascinating history. It's the perfect place for families looking for an active vacation surrounded by amazing nature.

The last, but certainly not the least, point of our trip to Costa Rica's paradise islands is Isla Tortuga. This picturesque island, located in the Gulf of Nicoya, is synonymous with a tropical paradise and offers ideal conditions for those seeking relaxation on beautiful beaches as well as for active vacationers.

Isla Tortuga impresses above all with its beautiful white beaches surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters. As one visitor describes: 'The unique island in the bay of Costa Rica, which can be reached by sea, is a magnificent sight, the sea is calm and warm.' These ideal conditions make Isla Tortuga a dream destination for relaxing, sunbathing and swimming in the warm waters of the Pacific.

However, Isla Tortuga is not just about beaches. The island also offers plenty of activities. Water sports such as snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding are popular here. The waters around the island are home to a variety of fish and other sea creatures, making it an ideal place to observe underwater life. As one tourist notes: 'You can snorkel, very nice souvenirs can be bought in the island's store.'

The island is also famous for its beautiful sunsets, which can be enjoyed from the beach or during a boat cruise around the island. It's an unforgettable experience that remains in the memory of visitors for a long time.

It is worth noting that Isla Tortuga, unlike the previously described islands, offers more facilities for tourists. The island has bars and restaurants serving local delicacies, including fresh seafood. Sun loungers and umbrellas can also be rented, adding to the convenience of the beach. As one visitor reports: 'Local animals and species. You can go snorkeling. Very nice souvenirs can be bought at the island's store.

At the same time, despite the developed tourist infrastructure, Isla Tortuga retains its natural charm. Much of the island remains undeveloped, allowing you to commune with wildlife. Here you can encounter various species of birds, as well as observe marine life directly from the beach.

Isla Tortuga is easily accessible from the Costa Rican coast, making it a popular destination for day trips. However, consider a longer stay to fully appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the place. As one visitor advises: 'Take with you water, drinks, music, a good battery in your cell phone (there's nowhere to charge it), although there's no good internet signal either.'

All in all, Isla Tortuga is an ideal destination for families looking for a combination of relaxation on beautiful beaches and activities. It's a tropical paradise that offers something for everyone, from lazy sunbathing on the beach to fascinating snorkeling to romantic sunsets. Isla Tortuga is the quintessential Costa Rican 'pura vida' - pure living in harmony with nature.
