A beautiful trip with plenty of time to snorkel or swim. Food was outstanding, unlimited bar with a huge variety of drinks. Staff were friendly and helpful getting I. & out of the water.

Thank you Barbara for your kind review. We try hard to offer a great product and we are really happy that you recognized that and enjoyed it. Hopefully you will be able to experience some of our other adventure tours. Thank you again & Pura Vida

We followed all instructions for meetup and about 30 minutes after the scheduled start of the tour we were informed through Viator that the tour was cancelled. Frustrating to plan our day around this tour and have such a lack of communication and did not even find out until we inquired. Viator did nothing wrong but bummed to not get to experience this as it was too late in the day at that point to schedule a different boat tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced.
Unfortunately, the boat used for this tour had to be closed that day, and regrettably that update was not communicated to you in time. We completely understand how frustrating it is to plan your day around a tour only to learn about the cancellation after arriving at the meeting point.
This was not the experience we want for our guests, and we sincerely apologize for the lack of communication. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can continue improving our coordination and ensure updates are shared with guests much sooner in situations like this.
We truly hope you were still able to enjoy your time in Costa Rica, and we would love the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience in the future.

It was a fun experience and we got see jumping mantarays (?) but the snorkelling wasn't too clear and didn't see much. We had some good drinks on board and had a great time overall.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you Madison, You saw Mobula Rays aka devil rays, great experience, they usually travel in schools of 500 or more. Sorry the visibility wasn't better, probably was on the tide change. We are happy you had a "great time overall" Hopefully you will have time to enjoy some more of our adventure tours. Thanks again, best regards & Pura Vida.

Great : the crew, the sunset, hotel transfer, the open bar
Good : the food, the ambience (despite numbers), safety considerations
Not so good : the snorkelling, the higher than expected number of guests
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Peter, Thank you for the review. You rated 4 items "great" & 3 "good" , you rated 2 items
"not so good" The snorkeling is usually very good but sometimes it is affected by the weather, tides ¤nts, we are sorry that it was "not so good for you" We do have a limit on the number of guests and we are rarely full but this is peak season so we have more that the usual number of travelers. Our low season is never crowded. Hopefully you will be able to enjoy some of our other tours. Thank you again, we really appreciate your comments and hope you will come back soon. Pura Vida.

I had planned to go with a friend but she got sick, so I was solo. I was picked up at my hotel by a lovely driver (Juan) who was very friendly. The boat staff were terrific and we had a good time snorkeling, with a tasty chicken lunch after. The sunset was beautiful and we even saw a whale breach. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Excellent review, thank you, we are happy you enjoyed our sunset sailing trip and experienced the breathtaking sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Too bad your friend missed the experience and beauty. Juan and the rest of our crew will be happy to see your report. Thank you again, hurry back & Pura Vida.

Great crew that takes you on an amazing, relaxing, and beautiful trip. Easy to find and wonderful communication. Snorkeling was so much fun and we saw tons of fish and sea critters. The ride back was like a party with all your friends. Amazing food!!! The crew offered to take lots of pictures and were so much fun. AMAZING sunset. Do NOT hesitate booking. This is worth the value. Every. Single. Penny.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Your review made our day William and we can't thank you enough. We see this tour exactly the way you do and we think it can be the highlight of everyone's visit to this area. The "AMAZING" sunset is breathtaking for sure. Our great crew will be ecstatic and we appreciate you pointing out just how good they are. Hopefully you will have time to enjoy some of our other tours. Thank you & Pura Vida.

Outstanding. Snorkeling was very good. Crew on catamaran were the best. Great lunch and drinks. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you Chris, our crew will love your 5 star review. They work hard and always strive to provide an "outstanding" experience. "great food & drinks" Outstanding snorkeling and a gorgeous, breathtaking sunset over the Pacific is a hard act to follow. Thank you again, hurry back & Pura Vida.

Excellent friendly service, the staff were constantly asking if everyone needs anything. The boat went to a beautiful snorkelling/swimming spot and ended with dolphin sightings and an iconic sunset view. The only thing that prevented a 5th star was that the boat a little too crowded. At the max of 75 it wasn’t easy to move around or get a great spot to sit. That said, I’d still recommend it!.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Happy New Year & thank you for the review on our Sunset Sailing, Snorkeling tour. Sorry the boat was a little crowded, but really happy that you wrote "Excellent friendly service" This is probably the only time of the year that we are full. We appreciate your "I’d still recommend it!." It is a great review and we are really thankful for it. Happy Holidays and come back soon Pura Vida.
