The experience was absolutely amazing. Although there were a few hiccups in the beginning, the team at Costa Cat made it right. Red carpet treatment throughout the experience and attention to every detail. The food was great and the beach atmosphere was very relaxing. My wife and I had a blast on the banana boat ride and the views were spectacular. I highly recommend this tour, definitely worth it!

    10/10 Recommend

    Stella_C, Apr 2026
    Our group was highly anticipated this excursion after booking it weeks in advance, and somehow it still completely exceeded our expectations. It was an incredible experience from start to finish and completely worth every penny. Our hosts Brit and Adriano made our experience so incredible. If you’re thinking about booking this, do it. We were a group of 11 and they made it so special for us. The food and drinks were incredible and the excursions were so fun. If I’m ever in Costa Rica again I would love to experience this again. Shout out the entire crew, 1000/10.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you so much for sharing this amazing experience! It truly means a lot to hear that the tour exceeded your expectations from start to finish.

We’re grateful you chose us for your adventure and would love to welcome you back anytime in Costa Rica. 🌴💚

    Spring Break 2026

    The staff was incredible. They did an awesome job, but the boat is entirely too small. I’ve did these tours all around the world and I never been on such a small boat with just couch seating. There is nowhere to spread out. The boat needs to be upgraded or change for just a sightseeing trip not for a catamaran beach trip. They also pack it out with too many people.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found our staff incredible and attentive—that truly means a lot to us. Your comments regarding the boat size and space have been shared with our team for internal review, as we are always looking for ways to enhance the overall experience. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

    Great day trip, would do again if I’m back in Costa Rica

    Grace_B, Feb 2026
    Definitely worth the money for the experience! We were picked up on time, enjoyed all of the activities that the island had to offer, and thought the lunch was very good (and perhaps the best we had in Jaco thus far). The only “cons” is that it would’ve been nice to have more time snorkeling, although I understand that it was short to stay on schedule and accommodate for lunch. The alcoholic drinks are also not the best.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for your thoughtful review! 🌊 We’re so glad to hear you felt the experience was worth it and that you enjoyed the activities and lunch — that means a lot to our team. We also appreciate your feedback about the snorkeling time and drinks; comments like yours help us continue improving the overall experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another great day at sea!

    What a time!

    Thumbs up for Casto Cat!

    Eric_P, Feb 2026
    What a great excursion on the Casto Cat! We were at ease the whole day, always prepared for what was next, never rushed. The boat was comfortable, the ride to and from Tortuga enjoyable. The beach area was small and clean, the water clear. Plenty of lounge chairs with umbrella shade available. The jungle juice and margaritas flowed freely, water and soda readily available. Bathrooms right there. We took small boats a short distance for a just-enough snorkel, plenty of beautiful fish to see. The banana boat was a blast. The hike was a little rocky, a couple nice views from modest elevation, saw some wild pigs and a couple of deer. It felt good to get a nice, short hike in. Few folks took the opportunity; hanging out on the beautiful beach was just fine. The lunch was mmmm-so tasty! Wonderfully seasoned chicken, vegetables, rice, potatoes. The stars of the show were the young staffers who were so attentive all day long. Tremendously welcoming, brought a joyful spirit. Top notch all around.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for such a fantastic and detailed review! 🌊 We’re delighted to hear that your day aboard the Casto Cat was comfortable, relaxed, and well organized from start to finish.

    From the prompt pick up to the amazing staff everything all day was excellent. The team is very attentive and the island is beautiful. Lunch was plentiful and very tasty. We did do the upgraded drink package which was perfect because we did not care for the included cocktails. My family enjoyed the snorkeling and banana boat. Their team kept us informed about the start time of each activity. Highly recommend!

    Fun, beautiful, relaxing day trip

    Angela_O, Jan 2026
    This was such a great and relaxing experience. I felt cared for the entire trip. The vibe can be both relaxing if that's what you need or a fun party zone with music, volleyball, and dancing on part of the beach. I brought my kids ages 17, 15, and 11 and they all loved it. The food was very good, the service was even better. We saw tons of fish snorkeling and they were not afraid to swim close to you. We also saw whales which was a huge surprise. The captian took time to get close enough for us to see the whales. I highly recommend and will be coming back. A big shout out to the amazing crew for happy, friendly service.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you very much for sharing this kind feedback. It is great to hear that the experience felt relaxing, fun, and well organized for the whole family.
