We had such a fun day snorkeling at a couple of different spots. The snacks were delicious, and the guides were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great experience from start to finish - highly recommend!

Pura Vida Snorkling and Fishing Adventures is a top notch tour provider. We originally booked only a private snorkeling tour and we had such a great time we decided to book a fishing tour for the next day.
Frank was our English guide both days and he is a stud! He was conversational and taught us a lot about what we were seeing throughout both trips. On the snorkeling tour we saw a Ray, eel, parrot fish, sea urchin, Cornish, puffer fish, angel fish, yellow tang, octopus and so many other beautiful fish (bright blue, black and white striped) that I don’t know the names to.
We weren’t as successful at fishing but we did catch 4 small tuna and another small fish and still had a great time. They worked hard to try and get us on the bigger fish. That’s why it’s called “fishing” and not “catching”.
We were overall pleased with both experiences and would highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

We had an amazing day with Frank! He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the marine life we were seeing. We saw dolphins and rays jumping, sea turtles mating (🫣) and so many bright and colorful fish while snorkeling. We even caught a skipjack tuna and while we were snorkeling, Frank prepared us a delicious sashimi plate with avocado and a side of chips and fresh guacamole. Perfect morning on the Pacific!
Captain Frank was AMAZING! Super knowledgable and FUN! We went to two snorkeling spots and felt very safe with Frank. He provided us with snacks, including fresh cut up fruit and guacamole that he made on the boat! It was an incredibly fun experience on a perfect day. We could not recommend Pura Vida Snorkeling more and especially Captain Frank!!!

Pura Vida Amy!
We really appreciate it!
We had a wonderful time with Frank and Carlos! They were knowledgeable about the fish and wildlife in the area and were patient and kind with our children. We went on a snorkeling adventure where we went to two separate spots and had a nice spread of food and drinks in between. Don't hesitate to book these guys!

Frank and Carlos did a fabulous job with our group! Frank spent time talking about the local area and was a plethora of information ,while Carlos jumped in the water to show us around and make sure we had the opportunity to see some cool creatures. They were very friendly and welcoming and made sure my family had a good experience. We appreciated the drinks and snacks and I would highly recommend using his service. We appreciated that the boat was for our group only and the experience was catered to what we wanted to do. Many thanks Frank!!!

Our kids were beginner snorkelers and ended up not feeling up for the experience. Frank was un-phased and happily took us to experience a remote beach with beautiful scenery, cruised around looking for whales and made sure we all had a fun experience.
