    Perfect morning on the Pacific!

    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 is the BEST! Pura Vida!!!

    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!!!

    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!

    Fabulous Local Experience

    Sarah_M, Feb 2025
    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.
