We had an absolute blast on this trip! The boat was super nice and not crowded at all. The staff were awesome and lunch was delicious! The views were incredible and it was amazing having unlimited drinks. It was fun to snorkel and get in the water and it was just overall an amazing experience. Would definitely recommend if you’re stopping in Quepos!

What a great experience! Minor was a fabulous guide and I’m so glad that we were on this boat! It was the perfect length and the drinks/food were good. Our driver to the experience, Mike, was also fabulous and we learned a lot on the way there!

Absolutely recommend this tour!!! Minor and Kevin and the whole crew were fantastic. We got super lucky and saw a mama whale and her calf. Snorkeling was fun. The dinner was one of the best I’ve had in Costa Rica. The sunset was stunning.

Amazing tour!

Debora_G, Sep 2026
So much fun! It was a beautiful morning and we had a blast on this tour! Everyone on the crew was so nice, kind, and fun! They really did everything to make sure we had a great time. We skipped the snorkeling by our own choice, but everyone else who did it said it was awesome. Definitely recommend it! Amazing!

Sunset Sails trip was great.

Kathryn_N, Jul 2026
We traveled in July. Even though it’s the rainy season we had beautiful weather. The water was pretty but not great clarity. We saw several different kinds of fish and my husband saw a small sea turtle. The crew was great. Wonderful hospitality. Our tour director, Minor, was super friendly, upbeat but no monkey business when it came to safety. We had a great lunch on the boat on our way back to the dock.

Great crew, comfortable...

Sheri_C, May 2026
Great crew, comfortable boat, fantastic lunch, perfect vibe. Not a party cruise with loud music- a very relaxing beautiful way to spend 3 hours on the water.

Amazing views and great experience

Betzavel_L, Apr 2026
It’s well worth the experience and it’s super fun. It’s not for the ones who are afraid of height. Luv it

Great communication,...

Tamara_G, Apr 2026
Great communication, clean, beautiful views, minor was so hospitable, yummy food, safe, educational, and they pick you up!

Sun, Sea, and Super Service!

Katherine_M, Mar 2026
There are plenty of cruise options in the Manuel Antonio area, but this crew stood out for wanting to provide an interesting, fun and engaging experience for their guests. The collection from our hotel was easy and the process of check in and boarding was easy and friendly. Once on board we we're served drinks throughout by the lovely crew. Kevin and Minor were excellent and genuinely proud of their culture and work. We saw dolphins, and enjoyed the option to snorkel and swim in the Pacific. The food served was delicious, fresh fish and the chef's own homemade hot sauce was a nice touch. We watched sunset from the boat which was perfect. If we ever came back, this would be one of the first tour's we would book. Thank you!

False advertisement t

Alexandr_K, Mar 2026
they provided false information about the experience and refused to give any refund later. We only booked this tour because it stated that it will be on a trimaran. However the boat is a regular yacht and we all got dizzy and sick. not for those who have motion sickness. It was not a pleasant experience because of misleading advertisement.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi thank you for your review. When you requested the reservation we send you a message that the only boat we had available for the day you wanted to do the tour was the Sailboat, and we didn't get an answer from you. Before the tour started I gave you a briefing at the office explaning that you where going in a sailboat and you said it was ok. So there was never a false advertising, im sorry your friend got sick, there is a pharmacy at the Marina Pez Vela where client can buy anti nausea sickness pills. PLease for any body that wants to reserve check your messages and when we give the briefing at our orffice put attention it is very important. Hope you had a good time in Costa Rica, Pura Vida! Cristian G.

A must!

Michelle_M, Mar 2026
What a great crew! Also this had the best food I’ve ever had on any sailing tours - we did it as honeymooners but it’s really great for any one who wants to see the sunset.

Great snorkeling, delicious food and beautiful sunset

Allison_S, Feb 2026
Highly recommend this excursion! The views were amazing, and we even got to see whales! It was a great balance of sightseeing, snorkeling, swimming, dinner/drinks and sunset. The fresh fish dinner was delicious as were the many drinks they serve on board. Only complaint is we wish it was more than just 3-4 hours!

Well worth going !

Karan_R, Feb 2026
Absolutely brilliant. Would definitely recommend. Fun from start to finish. Staff were great and very informative.

Great Experience

Andrew_L, Feb 2026
This was an amazing experience! We got to see dolphins and a whale on our trip and then enjoyed swimming off the slide and snorkeling! The food and drinks were delicious and so fresh! Kevin and Minor were great guides throughout this experience, I highly recommend!

Recommend this Tour!

Donald_R, Feb 2026
I highly recommend this sunset cruise, we had a great time, the crew was great and the food and drink were excellent. As for constructive criticism, we could have fired up the music a little earlier in the cruise to get the vibe cranking a little sooner. Also, we'd thought there would be a little more 'near shore' cruising to look for animals in the forest along the coast. That wasn't really the case.

sunset sail with quality crew

Douglas_P, Jan 2026
the Captain was by me, and he was awesome, and the whole crew made the trip superior. We will do this trip again, loved the smaller boat too. Book it

Great time!

Dawn_S, Jan 2026
It is such a great time. Minor is a star as is Kevin & the captain & chef!! We saw tons of dolphins and birds! We did the 2 pm, which allowed for the sunset. You can bring your own wine, beers. They provide rum drinks like mojitos, mango juice & ron, & piña coladas. You can buy beer for $4, but bring your own if you want. The snorkeling was ok. It is a nice day out. Met some nice people.😎

Been in Costa Rica for 5 days now and this has been the best experience so far! 10/10!! It was a blast and an excellent value.

Just book it!

Lisa_B, Jan 2026
Fun and relaxing. Hosts are very good! Food was good. Drinks good. Got to see a lot of fish. Good for all ages!

Great sunset sail experience

Lyndsey_E, Dec 2025
Wonderful experience. The hosts were gracious and accomodating. The sunset was wonderful! We did not see any sea life except some small fishes while snorkeling and birds when getting near the islands but it was still well worth it.

Great group trip!

Mary_M, Dec 2025
We had a group of 10 that went on this excursion and we all had a great time! Because it's a smaller boat we got to know most of the other passengers. Minor, Kevin and the captain/hot sauce chef were so accommodating. We didn't see any big aquatic wildlife and the snorkeling was a bit of a bust - both because of the weather - but they made it enjoyable and interesting and kept the beverages going. And the food was delicious! The swim time was super fun and the views were beautiful.

Highly Recommend!

Yuliya_P, Nov 2025
I did the morning sail and it was incredible! Kevin and the rest of the crew were engaging, attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable. We saw several dolphins and had a blast snorkeling and swimming. Pick-up, drop-off, drinks and lunch were included in the price, which was wonderful.

This was an amazing...

This was an amazing experience! The whole crew was friendly and knowledgeable! We even saw a whale and her calf! Definitely recommend

Very friendly helpful...

Carlos_M, Oct 2025
Very friendly helpful staff. The ocean was a bit rough due to the rain and they helped my partner recover from her sea sickness. The lunch available was super yummy, fresh fish cooked with peppers and onions, served with rice and red beans.

Up the coast

Anthony_C, Sep 2025
Quick & relaxed tour of the local coast. One might see wildlife, maybe not. Drinks are good. Crew is experienced & attentive, knowledgable about the area & multi-lingual, which helps out a lot. Just a fun few hours with no hassle.

Don’t miss this tour!

Sherry_A, Sep 2025
Amazing! Minor and the captain couldn’t have been more welcoming or better hosts! Not only were the human hosts great, but the whale hosts were fabulous as well!!!

Float on the boat!

Denise_D, Jul 2025
Great! Seen the dolphins! Guide was so nice and told us so much about the area. Could have had a little more music. But great anyway

Wonderful cruise

Blake_S, Jul 2025
We had a great time seeing the coast line and dolphins. The crew and lunch were excellent. The swimming was enjoyable.
