Great boat excellent crew lots of fun. Snorkeling is not the most scenic, not many opportunities to see whales or dolphins this time of year but didn’t miss it. The cruse the crew the food the drinks was more then enough entertainment. Great job !!

    This was absolutely fantastic. The staff was so energetic and friendly and made the whole experience so fun. The food was phenomenal, not something I expected, but was pleasantly surprised. You could tell that the staff actually did care about your experience. The music and dancing, the sunset and the dolphins made this a very memorable experience for my family. The bottomless drinks were a plus for mom and dad.

    Great value and lots of fun!

    Nathan_P, May 2026
    My wife and I loved this boat and crew and tour so much that we wanted to take our 3 sons (adult and 2x teens) to share the experience with them and we all loved it! The crew are fantastic and deserve their tips, it’s great value and lots of fun.

    Loved it!!

    A fun time even with mediocre snorkeling

    Catherine_L, Apr 2026
    The crew were friendly and determined to show everyone a good time. The boat was very comfortable, the dinner was delicious, and unexpected dancing was a lot of fun for the kids. The water was very warm but pretty murky so you could only see a little bit of fish.

    Excellent afternoon cruise

    Mostly a drinking trip

    Alex_K, Jan 2026
    After 6 free beers (or coctails) it does not matter that the snorkeling site is a fake. The general vibe is absolutely golden on this catamaran. Especially the trip back to the port through the amazing sunset and evening breeze... We all loved it! Even not drinking kids. Want snorkeling? Most every beach around there has a reef or two for that without the rush of the timed excursion.

    Great customer service...

    Great customer service with good food and unlimited drinks , activities , music and entertainment by crew

    Would recommend.

    We had a ton of fun. It was not very crowded. Several people on our group did get stung by jelly fish- nothing the tour could have done differently though. Food and drinks were good. Service was outstanding

    Best Bang for your Buck!

    I don’t typically take the time to write reviews, which I know, I should, but this was probably one of the best, if not the best, excursion we did during our trip, and I’d be lying. If I said, I wasn’t surprised. I was worried the weather would not cooperate, and it would be canceled, but it couldn’t have been a more beautiful afternoon/evening. The staff were all very engaging, the boat was incredible, the free drinks were readily available, and the food, it was probably the best meal I had while I was in Costa Rica, which is actually crazy to me. We got to snorkel, enjoy the waterslide and jumping off the top platform, and the marine sightings were more than I could’ve imagined. We saw tons of dolphins, we saw two sea turtles mating, and the big deal of the trip, was that we saw a humpback whale and baby. They said it was their first sighting in five months and of the season. We definitely got our moneys worth and then some. Don’t sleep on this one. It was amazing!!

    Amazing Experience, Beautiful Sunset

    VANESSA_K, Jul 2025
    Wonderful staff, beautiful boat ride and scenery, and the food was amazing. Finished the boat ride with a gorgeous sunset. Highly recommend!

    Amazing amazing! Cannot...

    Amazing amazing! Cannot recommend enough this group. Even when it rained on the way back to port, it became even more of a party to dance and experience the pura vida life!

    Awesome!

    Taslikyah_R, May 2025
    Awesome! Great fun ! Fun activity for any type of trip. Safe & relaxing! No complaints ! Good job…..

    My 9 year old said “It was amazing.”

    Roberta_G, Apr 2025
    Great experience! We were lucky and saw dolphins, played in the water, got great views, and had a little dance party at the end. The food was good. My husband also spotted a spotted eagle ray in the water. Certainly one of the highlights of our trip.

    We had a great time!...

    Dakota_B, Mar 2025
    We had a great time! Plenty of food and drinks, lots of time for snorkeling/swimming/using the slide. The sunset was breathtaking! The dolphins swam alongside our boat.

    The catamaran had plenty...

    Vicki_G, Mar 2025
    The catamaran had plenty of shade, fun staff that tried their best to make sure everyone was having a good time, great food and drinks.

    Great for kids!

    Rebecca_W, Feb 2025
    It was so fun! The slide was great for our kids (12 and 14). The shade was also key. Best catamaran trip!

    Sunset cruise

    Melinda_H, Jan 2025
    So much fun! The crew was great and very accommodating. Food was good and sunset was awesome. It was an excellent experience.

    Worth every dollar!

    Relaxing and fun for all ages! Everyone in our multi-generation family group (ages 9-72) had a great time and my mom said it was the highlight of her trip. The crew worked extra hard to ensure everyone had a good time - chatting, getting drink refills and dancing at the end. We were lucky to briefly see a whale! We also saw several pods of dolphins before stopping at the snorkeling spot. Almost everyone on the boat snorkeled except my dad. They said the bar would be closed while everyone was in the water but they still took care of him and his refills as the only one left on the boat. The snorkeling was not the best I've done but a perfect introduction for my kids who had never snorkeled and were a bit nervous. The food was delicious and eclectic (pasta salad with fresh pesto and fish kebobs). Several people got seconds and no one was hungry. And we all sang to one passenger for her birthday and she shared her cake with the kids - bonus! We cruised after eating to watch the best sunset of our entire vacation. It was stunning! If you are considering a catamaran cruise, book this one.

    Great way to see the sunset and get out on the water

    Cathy_W, Jan 2025
    Really fun afternoon on the water with space for everyone to have a seat in the shade. Not much to see snorkelling so we swam to the beach instead. Fun waterslide and jumping off the top of the boat. Fantastic lunch followed by the sunset. Highly recommend!

    Great tour💕❤️

    Michelle_T, Aug 2024
    The day of my trip it was raining in the area where we were staying, and we called to cancel basically however, the operator of the boat said they’re still going out and their area is just overcast. I was a little upset that they did not cancel but when I got there and had to with my family, we were super excited that we did not miss this tour, this is taking care of us was extremely attentive did excellent keeping us entertained who does to Kevin and I think marrigo was giving instructions super the whole crew was very very nice. I will recommend this talk to anyone in or coming to Costa Rica. It is worth it. The food also was delicious.❤️❤️❤️
