The start of our excursion started a little rocky, we had arrived to the office as instructed but they had already left to the meeting spot to get on the catamaran. Likely due to a miscommunication on both sides but let me tell you, all that went out the door after we met with Johannes and the gang. Wow!! Wonderful customer service, Johannes was very personable, funny and sweet. The bartender made put of this world drinks. We met lots of new people while on the tour. Our experience was once in a lifetime. Empanada, the chef, made amazing skewers, food was delicious. It was a very fun environment. Bryan caught an Amber Jack on the line. The sunset was wonderful, the weather was great. We are coming back in December and will be bringing my whole family to book with Sealounge, hopefully it’s the same people!!
Thank you so much for your amazing and honest review! We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the initial miscommunication, and we’re very sorry for the confusion at the start. That said, we’re so happy to hear that once you joined the tour, everything turned into such a memorable and enjoyable experience. Johannes will be thrilled to hear your kind words — his personality and energy really make each trip special! We’re also glad you enjoyed the drinks, the fun atmosphere, and meeting new people along the way. A big shoutout to Empanada for those delicious skewers (we agree, they’re amazing! 😄) and to Captain Bryan for adding even more excitement with that Amberjack catch. 🎣 It sounds like the perfect day with great weather and a beautiful sunset — exactly what we hope every guest experiences. We’re especially excited to hear you’ll be coming back in December with your whole family — we’ll do our very best to make it just as incredible (and hopefully with the same crew!). Thank you again for choosing us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back! 🌊🌅 Pura Vida!

We had a fantastic day. You could do as much or as little as you wanted. Staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating to all age groups. Food was delicious and presented beautifully. Staff was Cpt Brian, Cook Empanada, Bartender Lagos, and the best leader of the group John!!! You do need to transfer between tender boat and catamaran. They were helpful with those who needed a little assistance. They provide pick up at your hotel and the bus driver was so nice.

This was a great experience for the day at Jacó! Our crew consisted of Johannes, Yogi, Largo, Empanada, and Bryan, and all of them were fantastic. Great drinks with an open bar on the boat and at the beach, with really tasty food for lunch (including vegetarian options, but make sure to ask beforehand!). The beach itself was really nice, with soft sand and perfect water, though the tide was high so it was pretty strong. On the ride back, we saw a pod of dolphins jumping around too! Overall I think it was definitely worth the price of admission, and I would absolutely come again with friends!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that you had such a great day with us in Jacó and that the entire crew — Johannes, Yogi, Largo, Empanada, and Bryan — made your experience so enjoyable. They’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words! It’s great to know you enjoyed the open bar both on the boat and at the beach, as well as the lunch options — we always do our best to accommodate dietary preferences, and we appreciate you mentioning that tip for future guests. We’re also glad you got to experience the beauty of the beach and even spot dolphins on the way back — those moments always make the trip extra special! Thank you again for your recommendation. We’d love to have you back anytime for another amazing day on the water with friends! 🌊🐬☀️ Pura Vida!
