The tour was well planned. They explain rules and itinerary as soon as you board. You can enjoy your boat ride as they bring you your drinks. There was an opportunity to dance, snorkel, swim and bask in the sun. Lunch was provided, but inform them if you have any food allergies to make accommodations. Overall great tour!

We had a great experience with OcenKing catamaran adventures. We booked the sunset tour with dinner. We saw some dolphins along the way. The snorkeling part was really just getting into the water rather than snorkeling, as the water was not clear enough to see anything under the surface. Some other boats were anchored closer to Beisanz beach where the water was shallower to be able to see the floor. But there was a water slide and a jump area if you are adventurous. The fish served with dinner was very good. We also able to see the sunset without clouds covering it (which often happens considering how unpredictable weather is around here). They also provided transportation both ways to the tour. Finally, the staff were super nice and friendly. Highly recommend.

Although this was a big catamaran, once under way it was fine and we had a great time. People were able to move around and go to the top deck
We saw lovely dolphins, food was good and drinks were strong and plentiful
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re glad to hear you had a great time on board and were able to enjoy the different areas of the catamaran. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.

Overall a good experience. The only hiccup was the beginning of the tour. I traveled with a friend but last minute I had to meet the group at the Marina instead of getting picked up from the hotel. My friend explained the situation to the staff and was told to direct me to their office to get a wristband once I arrived to the marina. Once I arrived, the staff told us that two wristbands were given to my friend at the hotel pick up, which was not the case. They asked us to wait until everyone got on the boat to see if I was “allowed” to get on too. I even suggested to show my reservation confirmation but the lady declined to see it.
Again, overall it was a good experience.. drinks were good, plenty of space to wander around, met awesome people, but the very start was a little unpleasant.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hello,
Thank you very much for your feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour overall — especially the drinks, the atmosphere, and the space onboard. That’s exactly the experience we strive to deliver to all our guests.
At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the confusion at the beginning of your tour. What you described is not the standard experience we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating that situation must have been. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Our check-in process is designed to ensure safety, proper organization, and accurate guest verification before boarding. However, in this case, it seems there was a miscommunication, and we will be reviewing this internally with our team to make sure situations like this are handled more smoothly and efficiently in the future.
Thank you again for your understanding and for highlighting both the positive aspects and the areas where we can improve.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with a seamless experience from start to finish.
Best regards,
Ocean King Team

I'm sorry to disappoint but I have to be honest when I say that I cannot recommend booking this cruise. I feel like it was a rookie mistake to book spots on such a large, crowded vessel. Here are some reasons why I say this: Right from the beginning, pickup and transport was sketchy. Drivers didn't speak much english and they had trouble getting up the steep hills in the shuttle van. They will ask for your passport numbers so have those handy. The hot tubs were not hot or working, snorkeling was bad since water was deep and there was nothing to see, boat was crowded with lots of drunken tourists, waterslides look fun from a distance but when in the water watching people take the slides, all of them complained about how horrible and painful they were. Food was just okay, they served some tuna with a red sauce pasta salad. Long lines to wait in for snorkel equipment or food. Some fruit offered early on as a snack. One bartender was very attentive and also managed to anchor us in the snorkel spot so he was great, the others, not so much.
Yes, the sunset was nice and we did see and cruise with dolphins.
I'd suggest you find a much smaller charter cruise.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Ocean King Catamaran is a large, family-friendly cruise, designed for guests of all ages. Travelers looking for a small, private, or adults-only experience may prefer a different type of tour.
Our jacuzzis are not hot tubs—they are meant for relaxation and fun in a tropical environment and are especially enjoyed by families and children.
Snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean is offered as an extra activity, as visibility can vary daily due to natural ocean conditions beyond our control. We always choose the best possible location for the day.
While our vessel is licensed for 180 passengers, we limit capacity to approximately 160 guests to ensure comfort and safety. A full tour will naturally feel lively and social.
We appreciate your comments and are glad you enjoyed the sunset and dolphin sightings, which are highlights of the experience for many of our guests.
Kind regards,
Ocean King Catamaran Team

Families will probably enjoy this catamaran tour. If you’re a couple / group of friends with no kids, you should probably find an adults-only catamaran. The service and staff were great, but having so many people and kids on the boat kind of dampened the experience a bit.
We weren’t allowed to walk on the boat with shoes, so if you’re someone that doesn’t even like to walk around your own house without shoes, you may struggle a bit like I did. I kept on seeing hair and food on the ground, and having to go to the bathroom without shoes on wasn’t great. I feel like if they are going to require that people don’t wear shoes on the boat then they should have staff clean sweep/mop it regularly, or let us wear our shoes since it was inevitable that there would be food on the ground.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate it.
Our catamaran tour is designed primarily as a family-friendly experience, welcoming guests of all ages, including children. Over the past 10+ years, we have proudly hosted hundreds of families, and for many of them—especially children—this becomes a memorable and joyful experience in a safe, relaxed, and respectful environment. That said, we completely understand that guests looking for an adults-only or more intimate atmosphere may prefer a different type of tour, and we always encourage travelers to choose the experience that best fits their expectations.
Regarding capacity, while our vessel is licensed to carry up to 180 passengers, we intentionally limit our tours to a maximum of 160 guests in order to preserve comfort, safety, and overall service quality. Our spacious catamaran is designed to accommodate this number comfortably.
As for the no-shoes policy, this is a standard maritime practice on catamarans and sailing vessels, implemented to protect the specialized deck surface, ensure safety, and maintain the condition of the boat. We understand that for some guests this may feel unusual or uncomfortable, and we sincerely appreciate you sharing your perspective.
Our crew is continuously attentive to cleanliness throughout the tour; however, during a full and active family-friendly experience—especially with food service—it can be challenging to keep the deck spotless at every moment. That said, your comments are taken very seriously, and we will continue reinforcing our cleaning protocols to ensure the highest possible standards for all guests.
We would also like to sincerely apologize if the behavior of any passenger on board affected your experience. While the vast majority of our guests are respectful and considerate, we regret any situation that may have detracted from your enjoyment.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. It helps us improve and better communicate what kind of experience we offer, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future under circumstances that better match your travel style.
Warm regards,
Ocean King Catamaran Team

We took our 9 and 6 year old sons and this was their favorite part of our trip. All crew members were extremely helpful and friendly. Well worth the price for the number of drinks (well made!) and snack/full dinner provided. Shockingly good fish for being served out on a boat! We saw many fish while snorkeling and even though it rained a bit, the sunset was beautiful at the end of the evening.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you very much for sharing your experience! We’re happy to know your family, especially your kids, enjoyed the tour so much.

Seriously, book this right now! My husband and I had so much fun on Ocean King’s catamaran, and my only complaint is that it went by way too fast! We booked the 2pm tour so we could catch the sunset, and from start to finish the experience was fantastic. The staff were amazing, the drinks were great, and the music set the perfect vibe. My husband especially loved the snorkeling, jumping off the boat, and using the slide. We truly enjoyed every part of this experience and would 100% do it again!

We stayed in Quepos so it was great to have Ocean King pick us up and return us near our Airbnb! During the cruise, the staff was very attentive to making sure we had a fantastic time, bringing drinks and snacks to us and paying special attention of bringing extra food and drinks to those of us who were getting a bit queasy. The drinks, fruit, crackers and lunch were excellent and our stop to jump off, slide or walk down the ladder into the water was very fun. Later, the music and dancing was a blast, too! A photographer was on board and took pictures for us to purchase was nice for wonderful memories! We highly recommend this tour!!
Response from Host, Jun 2025

We had SO much fun on this tour! The operators were lovely and engaged. The drinks were yummy, the food was good (both fresh fruit and snacks and the lunch). The boat was in great shape and had lots of amenities. We did hope to snorkel, but were advised that conditions were not good due to rain, so we didn’t end up getting to do that. Everything else was excellent!
While this trip was more of a party vibe than a super authentic local experience, it was a great time and a good way to unwind after spending the previous day hiking!
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy you had a great time and that the tour was a fun and relaxing break after your hike. Hopefully next time the weather will be on our side so you can enjoy the snorkeling too. We'd love to have you back for another adventure!

We were able to get transportation from our hotel room to the catamaran. It was easy communication and we had no issues. We stayed on the top deck, which was relaxing. The workers were very friendly and funny. Wasn’t much seating but with everybody dancing and mingling, it was fine. You get four alcoholic drinks and all you can drink soda. The Alcoholic drinks were good and they gave you a good amount of serving. Jumping from the top deck was thrilling. They give you pool noodles so you can hang in the water. If you aren’t a great swimmer then no worries!! It was beautiful seeing the sunset. Would do again
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're so happy to hear everything went smoothly—from the transportation to the fun onboard. It’s great to know you enjoyed the top deck, the drinks, the energy, and of course, that beautiful sunset.
Jumping from the top deck and floating with the pool noodles is always a guest favorite! We truly appreciate your kind words about our crew and can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable cruise.
