Awesome Day of adventure
My husband and I did this together and absolutely loved it. We had such an awesome time. zip lining through the canyons was very cool. Horse riding was fun, I had a stubborn horse but my husband really enjoyed the ride. Tubing down the river was so much fun, you are going down rapids on a tube. This is not floating down the river just fyi. Lunch was good and ending it with the hot springs was awesome. Everyone was friendly and knew what they were doing. It is a full day of activity and worth the money. We would highly recommend this.

Amazing day snorkeling - no need to look elsewhere for a perfect day
Amazing day with expert guides who looked after everyones safety alongside their expert knowledge of the area which helped us see turtles, rays and sharks as well as schools of fish of all shapes & sizes.
Two completely differing snorkeling locations - a lovely break on the beach and a delicious lunch shared with everyone at the end.
100% recommended for a fantastic day

Sun, Sea, and Super Service!
There are plenty of cruise options in the Manuel Antonio area, but this crew stood out for wanting to provide an interesting, fun and engaging experience for their guests. The collection from our hotel was easy and the process of check in and boarding was easy and friendly. Once on board we we're served drinks throughout by the lovely crew. Kevin and Minor were excellent and genuinely proud of their culture and work. We saw dolphins, and enjoyed the option to snorkel and swim in the Pacific. The food served was delicious, fresh fish and the chef's own homemade hot sauce was a nice touch. We watched sunset from the boat which was perfect. If we ever came back, this would be one of the first tour's we would book. Thank you!

Such an amazing trip!...
Such an amazing trip! Started off with pick up from our Air Bnb and was greeted by our guide Ulysses who was awesome! From there we were provided with a delicious lunch and rode up to the river. The ride to the rafts was a little long but Ulysses made it interesting by giving us facts about the local areas we were passing through. The white water rafting was scenic and we were able to stop at a waterfall and swim at multiple points on the tour. Definitely recommend!!

Amazing!
We bought tickets for 4 hours of boating, drinks and snorkeling..this experience went above and beyond our expectations! The open bar made most amazing drinks and quick! With one bartender I wasn't sure but wow! The food- incredible. The snorking was awesome. We went to a clean crystal clear beach where we seen sooo many manterays. Something stung my arm and when I returned to the boat one of the staff got me something on a paper towel that made the marks on my arm disappear. The staff was awesome and even took us to the spots and pointed out all the wildlife - dolphins , sea turtles and more. They were friendly and informative! Can't rave more about this trip! Me and my 3 friends went on many different catermarans(mind my spelling) and we all agreed this one was by far the best! Thank you so much !

Relaxing and fun way to spend an afternoon
We were worried about the heat with my mom who is older but there was plenty of covered room in the bar area that had a nice breeze to stay cool. Room for about a third of the group to sit at a time. Never had to stand when I didn’t want to. Food was good and guides pointed out wildlife as we went. Overall very pleasant and enjoyable.

Great Day of Sailing and Snorkeling
The crew of the Marlin del Rey took great care of us from start to finish. The boat was clean and comfortable. The scenery and the sunset were outstanding. The snorkeling was fabulous. The drinks flowed non-stop and the food was tasty. Our whole group had a wonderful time. Would book this adventure again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

A Highlight of My Costa Rica Trip - Incredible Catalina Islands Snorkel with Truly Attentive Guides
From the moment I walked into the shop, I felt immense warmth and positive vibes. Our boat had four guides; one with the two divers and three dedicated to our snorkeling group of about 12. Their knowledge of the area was next-level.
They knew exactly where to go near the Catalina Islands, when to pause, and what to look for. We saw an incredible variety of marine life: a huge school of manta rays, angelfish, pufferfish, parrotfish, eels, starfish, and even reef sharks. We also had the surreal pleasure of hearing humpback whale song, and one guide even found an octopus for us!
Kind, knowledgeable, patient, and safety-first from start to finish. Highly, highly recommend.
Also: how can you not love Kaya, their beautiful husky and unofficial “guide dog”/mascot?
A true trip highlight. Highly recommend!

Pura Vida Snorkeling and Beach
Communication before the trip was excellent. We met on the beach by El Gecko’s meeting point. Directions were accurate. Then we took a very enjoyable, scenic boat ride to the snorkeling location. Snorkeling was very nice. plenty of fish to make the 45 minute experience worth it. There were only 7 of use and it was quite lovely to be in such a small group. Maybe 30 minutes after we had arrived a very large group of snorkelers (maybe 20 or 30) descended upon us and I was glad we at least had 30 minutes to ourselves. After, the guides took us to an isolated, quiet beach and served us delicious fruit. But wait - that wasn’t all. I totally did t expect the lunch that came 1 hour later. Which came with home-made salsa that was truly yummy! We had the beach to ourselves for about 3 hours and besides getting in another swim we saw reptiles, monkeys and deer. It was the perfect, Puta Vida day.

Perfecto!
The entire process was flawless. Hotel pickup was on time, the tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Our tour included a Costa Rican style meal, which was very good. Everyone was there to ensure you have an excellent experience. Strongly recommend this company to any one considering this tour.

Perfect day!!
Highly recommend this tour. Very knowledgeable guides that are super friendly. We felt incredibly safe the entire time, and were able to rely on Isa while we snorkeled to know where to find the best spots and to know where it was safe to be. The fresh fruits were delicious and the perfect mid-trip snack. Would definitely do this one again if we are ever back in the area!
