Everything about this trip was fantastic. The staff were all professional, warm, and amazing hosts. There were great drinks, delicious food, fun music, and beautiful scenery. We even saw a Humpback whale and her baby even though it was out of season! Allan in particular was fantastic!

1000/10 Catamaran Sunset Tour

Alejandro_P, Mar 2025
The cruise was absolutely amazing. Communication about a pickup point was easy and convenient for us. We chose the sunset tour and were pleasantly surprised that there is virtually unlimited cocktails aboard as well as what seemed to be endless pineapple and watermelon. We cruised along the coast and then anchored nearby Manuel Antonio beach where our tour guide brought us snorkelling with some fish food and we were surrounded with all kinds of beautiful fish. We then had lots of time to swim, jump off the boat and do water activities followed by a delicious casado dinner cooked by our captain. What made this tour 100/10 was that on our ride back during the sunset our tour guide and captain spotted a pod of dolphins and we cruised behind them while they danced and sang for us for virtually 20 mins. It was as if the dopphins were being paid for our entertainment. Truly magical- cannot recommend the sunset tour enough. Worth the money! Choose Iguana tours for your activities if not booking with Viator!

Super fun

DrJeffrey_H, Jul 2024
Cannot say enough good things about this excursion and its crew. The captain was amazing. He sailed out and found a humpback whale with its baby. He got us close enough to take pics and still be at a safe distance. The kids had a blast on the slide and jumping off the top platform. The provided a delicious lunch at the end with a local dish of chicken, rice and beans. Highly recommend

The atmosphere was fun...

RebekahM, Jun 2023
The atmosphere was fun and the crew was very friendly and fun. The music was enjoyable and provided a party atmosphere. The snorkeling, unfortunately was cloudy and we did not get to see very many fish or a very big variety. The ride back was a bit hot. The food was great. The other patrons were rude on the way home and confrontational.

I would recommend

Yanin_M, Jun 2023
The perfect way to end an adventurous Costa Rica vacation. It was a smooth relaxing ride around the bay, with some drinks and music. We spotted a few sea turtles along the way. Then a nice refreshing dip, before freshly grilled fish dinner. Our guide super enjoys his job and was fun and knowledgeable. The return was fun as he handed our instruments and made all of us part of a “concert.” It was a total vibe and I would recommend. It was the perfect way to wind down and get ready to go back home.

Great time on the ocean

David_W, Mar 2021
Unlimited fruit and fruit juice. I fished while traveling to the snorkeling location. The steward was very friendly and engaging. An excellent trip.

Relaxing sunset cruise

James_C, Mar 2020
This was a wonderful relaxing cruise to see the natural beauty of the coast. Warm, friendly people and good food and drink! Thomas is really special.

Snorkle schmorkle

Deon_F, Feb 2020
Fun attentive crew, large comfortable clean boat with great viewing locations. Blaring music detracted from the experience. Excellent views of the coast. Snorkeling was mediocre and a bit rushed. Good lunch with fresh fruit.

Fantastic

cbetts1, Feb 2020
We had a fantastic sunset cruise! Group of 7 family members including my 81 year old parents. Everyone felt included and had a great time. The pictures taken by staff are incredible! Thomas was fun and entertaining. Meal was very tasty as well. thank you all!

The best crew!

Sharon_M, Apr 2019
Thomas and his crew were amazing! We were even able to see dolphins on the trip and they searched until they found them. Thank you! I know it wasn’t guaranteed. The dinner was wonderful and even the 2 10 year old boys enjoyed it. The photographer Alejandro was wonderful at capturing the moments. Thank you all again!

Experiência extraordinária com vista para as baleias

Gabriel_S, Oct 2024
Foi uma experiência extraordinária! O mar estava tranquilo e o tempo extremamente agradável! A equipe foi atenciosa desde a retirada no hotel até o encerramento do tour! Consegui ver as baleias de perto e elas proporcionaram um espetáculo! O snorkel e o almoço delicioso fecharam a experiência com chave de ouro!
