This excursion was family friendly, and provided enough options to please everyone. My husband went snorkelling, while my daughter and I floated closer to the boat. The staff were friendly and the food and drinks were fantastic!

Crew (captain Jorge, Erick, and Alexander) amazing. Food was delicious and plentiful. Lots of drink options. Boat was very clean.

The experience was the best! The staff are friendly, funny, I love how they prioritized our safety the entire time! The foood was soooo good, the drinks were better, and such a variety of them. They encouraged us to interact and mingle with one another, and we met some amazing people. There were a variety of activities for people like me who’ll couldn’t swim, and everyone truly look like they had an among time. The sunset experience was sooo beautiful and the best!! I will recommend this cruise to everyone I know.

Not for kids. The driver who picked us up was rude, however the staff on the Catamaran was nice. Would not do again though.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hi Susan,
I am disappointed to hear the driver for you was rude. I will speak with my staff but please note sometime we have to use "outside" drivers and I am not aware of who your driver was. I am glad the staff on the catamaran was nice. As you will see from our reviews we regularly have children on board and also do private birthday parties for children of all ages. We have consistently been told by the children and parents this trip is a must do for children. I sincerely hope the rest of your stay in Costa Rica meets your expectations. Once again we apologize for the driver

Absolutely incredible evening. The crew and captain Luis made the entire experience fun, safe and the perfect end to a trip. Great food, tunes and ambiance.
Jen_L, Apr 2026
Crew was phenomenal - very attentive and energetic throughout the trip. At harbour, our daughter dropped her phone in the water and they even went diving to retrieve it! Very pleasant ride, beautiful sunset, delicious food. A little tight for seating but everyone made space.
Tammy_R, Apr 2026
It was a beautiful day on the water! We enjoyed every bit of it. The service and food that was provided was perfection. The crew was awesome and very attentive. Don’t forget to tip them, they work hard and deserve it.

Roger_P, Mar 2026
We had such a great time. The crew was great. It was a perfect day. Could not have been better. Wanted stay out longer.
Sara_G, Mar 2026
The crew, Captain Josue, Angel, and Fifi, were awesome. Great drinks and food! They fed us a full meal of tacos and fresh fruit. So good! The water wasn’t clear enough to see any fish while we swam, but we did see a full pod of dolphins and a stingray on our way out. The sunset was breathtaking. Great music, great vibes! Great way to end our trip to Costa Rica.
Scott_C, Mar 2026
We had an amazing evening with our family as we celebrated our son’s 21st birthday! Staff was very attentive, food was great, the cove at Honeymoon Island was beautiful, and the sunset was the best finale!
jennifer_c, Mar 2026
The crew was amazing. Food was excellent! Very relaxing day on the water. Luis, Anderson, David were our crew highly recommend
edgintarynl, Mar 2026
Excellent all around! The service was incredible. The crew catered to everyone on the boat- constantly being drinks to people, taking plates, handing out treats and even giving the kiddos fake tattoos. The only bummer was the snorkeling- it was too murky to see anything. But that wasn’t the crews fault. I would highly recommend this putting!
John_R, Mar 2026
Cut me off after mentioning growing up in Mexico after 6 drinks over 3 hours. The snorkeling tour was literally him swimming over to the rocks. Saying don’t get close to the rocks. And then saying he was swimming back to the boat.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
John, as per your google review AND your wife's google review, we sincerely apologize for the way you felt the tour went for you.
We have spoken to our team and they stated that you were cut off from drinking because the number of drinks you had consumed was excessive. We regularly limit the number of drinks consumed for the safety and comfort of the other passengers on board. In no way was this a reflection of where you grew up. We cater and love all nationalities regardless of country of origin. We continue to monitor our employees behavior and do not have any tolerance for prejudice of any kind. As stated, we as the owners are devastated that you felt that the staff were unkind to you for where you grew up. I truly hope that the rest of your stay in Costa Rica is everything you hoped it would be.
Lisa_A, Mar 2026
The scenery was beautiful. There were 31 on board, a great crowd. The captain and workers were very friendly. We saw two whales but no dolphins. There was an hour and a half stop at a tiny beach for snorkeling. You can stay on the boat if you prefer. They offer rum punch, beer, and a pink flamingo drink as well as a variety of tacos. There is a bathroom on the boat. If you are outside of the pickup zone they will pick you up for a fee. I stayed at the RIU in Guanacaste.

Even though the water was to cloudy to see anything, the drinks, food and staff made it a really good time.
Yulia_S, Mar 2026
We had an amazing time on this tour! Everything was very well organized, and the crew was so friendly and helpful throughout. The tacos and drinks were delicious, and the whole experience felt relaxed and fun. The kids especially loved the snorkeling, paddle boards, and the floating lily pad. Such a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation—highly recommend for families!

Must wear your swimsuit and put on sunblock before boarding.
Bring pants/shirt/light jacket for when sun goes down
“Snacks” are absolutely a full dinner. Pork, chicken or vegetarian tacos, salad, chips and salsa and chocolate chip cookies
Snorkeling wasn’t great. Water was too murky. Only saw a few fish
Crew was excellent. Very attentive and kind.
Lots of people on boat but never really felt that crowded.
Hubs and I were the only non drinkers. Would’ve liked seltzer,Coke Zero. Just more options.
Tyler_S, Mar 2026
This boat ride was so much fun! We saw plenty of dolphins and a couple of humpback whales. The food was delicious and the drinks were awesome! The boat crew were also a ton of fun!
julie_J, Mar 2026
Fantastic trip along the coast and the guides were phenomenal throughout. Although, conditions weren't great for snorkeling, our guides let us know and we were still able to get ample aquatic activity time in!
jeffery_b, Mar 2026
Anderson, Erik y Luis Andres were awesome tour guides, very thorough and precise when giving instructions. Most importantly they made sure we were having fun making memories that will last forever !!!
Ryan_S, Mar 2026
One of our favorite parts of our Costa Rica vacation. Both fun and relaxing. The crew was fantastic and accommodating. Definitely recommend.
Deborah_t, Mar 2026
Wonderful service, great food and music.
The staff really goes out of their way to make sure everyone has a fun and safe trip!
Abigail_S, Mar 2026
Our group of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) had a great time on the catamaran cruise. Beautiful sunset, great tunes, tasty food and refreshing drinks! The kids had a lot of fun with the lily pad water mat and stand-up paddle boards. The crew (Pablo, Captain Luis and Anderson) were amazing and made everyone feel at home. We also appreciated the bus to and from the beach! I would definitely recommend the Lazy Lizard for an excursion.

The answer is yes. Looking for a boat excursion and not sure which one to pick? Not sure if you even want to do a boat excursion? This is the answer to your questions. The boat, the vibes, the food, the drinks, the crew, the views, all point to the answer being yes! We had a phenomenal time with Josue, the crew, and our fellow passengers from start to finish. The ride out was filled with drinks, laughs, and Josue (our captain) made sure we were all aware of and able to see a humpback whale! Once we set anchor for water activities, the drinks and fun kept going and the smell of tacos drifted through the air as everyone took advantage of the snorkeling, splash mat, and small water craft. The tacos, fruit, cookies, and other snacks were delicious and refreshing after a good swim. The ride back we used the sail which was so peaceful as we watched the sun set on our way back to the mainland, all while listening to some solid tunes which had everybody on their feet dancing. The boat itself was clean, spacious, and safe. A 10/10 experience that we will hit repeat on next time we are in Costa Rica!
Rachel_R, Feb 2026
The catamaran experience was 10/10! Pick up and drop off included, funny and sociable captain, captains Co-workers were so nice and fun, the views were amazing, the FOOD WAS DELICIOUS, unlimited drinks (get the rum punch), and a fabulous boating day! Recommend for all ages!
Neil_S, Feb 2026
This was an awesome Sunset Catamaran Cruise and deserves the many high ratings that it's received over time! The boat was clean, comfortable and operated perfectly. The captain and crew were kind, authentic, welcoming and safe. The cruise was the perfect length, the equipment in fine shape and the return to shore effortless. The drinks and food were plentiful and tasted great. We hit a pristine afternoon/evening so the sunset was awesome.
craig_c, Feb 2026
FANTASTIC experience! I went with my wife and 4 kids. The crew running this boat was funny, attentive, constantly asking everyone if they needed anything, they kept the experience light and fun from start to finish. The tacos were delicious and the cruise around the bay was very enjoyable. I highly recommend this if you’re thinking about it!
Scott_H, Feb 2026
Awesome Pure Vida!! Capt was great so we're Eric's ×2. Strong drinks, tasty tacos, and other snacks were yummy. Saw a 🌇 🌅 sunset, some cool fish snorkeling and over a cool experience!
