Awesome. Definitely a must do in uvita
Great experience for the whole family. Entire staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw marlin fish, dolphins, sea turtles, white tipped reef sharks and endless fish. Cano island was Beautiful.
The boat ride out to Cano Island was very choppy. The sea was rough due to rain and high winds. We were told the ride would take 1 hour, however, the ride took close to 2 hours due to the conditions of the ocean (high waves) and the rain we encountered. The boat ride was extremely bumpy and I often wondered why the excursion wasn't canceled. I've booked with other snorkel tour companies in Costa Rica, who have canceled for similar conditions to ensure the safety of passengers. Once we arrived at the first snorkel site the water was calmer. There was still overcast weather. The snorkeling was nice and the guide, Juan, did a very good job. The stop at the beach was pretty much a 45-minute waste. We did eat delicious fruit and had water, however, we weren't permitted to swim and just walked around for 45 minutes. The second snorkel site was nice. The ride back took an hour. We did encounter rain, but nothing near as heavy as the rain that drenched us heading out. Please monitor the weather and use your own discretion when rain and wind is in the forecast. The touring company most likely will not cancel unless there is a heavy storm. I wish I had canceled to save the back pain from being bumped about during the book ride out to Cano Island. There is a 20-minute walk from the beach back to the touring company's office post the excursion. The casado lunch they provided after the trip was very tasty. Unfortunately, I will not book with this company again.
While snorkelling in Costa Rica can be hit-or-miss, we were thrilled to see green turtles, reef sharks, puffer fish, snapper and a variety of other colourful fish. The hospitality was top-notch—the snacks and post-snorkel lunch were much appreciated. Our host, Shabbi, was informative and attentive, and the entire crew made us feel safe and well-cared-for throughout the trip.
The best tour guides and the entire experience! A must do!
Excellent snorkeling experience with great guides. Felt safe on the boat ride even though the weather was a little unnerving for some! Nice lunch and snacks provided as well.
Very good organization, the attendants are great they show bcp things. It was great, I recommend
We had a great experience snorkeling with Bahía adventures. They were very helpful and informative and we enjoyed seeing a lot of diverse species along the reefs. They served us lunch and snacks. The coconut cookies were amazing!! I recommend them for your next snorkeling adventure
