Rolando was a fantastic snorkeling guide! He was enthusiastic, friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about fish and the area. We saw so many fish that reminded me of the movie Finding Nemo 🐠🐟🐡 Rolando did an outstanding job communicating with me when I had questions ahead of time and went out of his way to send me videos and pictures of what to expect during the tour. He also gave great directions for every meeting place. We had delicious fruit after the tour and were delighted when we saw Scarlett macaws, a mother sloth and her baby and a tribe of Capuchin monkeys! Rolando’s tour was definitely one of our best memories of Costa Rica and I would highly recommend this tour!!
Tour guides were absolutely wonderful. This was of the best excursions we did in Costa Rica. The beach was beautiful and the monkies may have been better than the beach. Tons of stuff to see when snorkeling as well. This is a must do private trip.
Fabulous day of snorkeling and beautiful beaches with Rolando and Freddy. They took care of everything and it was such an enjoyable day. The snorkeling was fantastic! Great equipment provided, water was perfect and we saw such a great variety of beautiful fish! We wrapped up the day seeing monkeys!! These guys are great, book your trip with them and have a wonderful experience like we did!! Pure Vida🤟
Incredible experience! Rolando and Freddy were the absolute best! They went way beyond expectations to give us the best tour/snorkeling excursion. We are so grateful to have found them and trusted them…book them!!!!! You won’t regret it:)
Just a short ride away from Los Suenos, Rolando was an engaging, funny, knowledgeable guide. He took us to a beautiful beach and was a perfect host.
Ronaldo was great! The experience was great. Very knowledgeable, laid back and fun.
Our tour guide was Rolando. We did have a rental vehicle, but we are really lucky that we got him to pick us up at our hotel as I don’t think we would’ve found the place. As soon as we got out of the vehicle there were so many monkeys hanging around. Rolando had brought bananas and it was thrilling especially for the kids to feed the monkeys. We also saw macaws, a sloth, and an ant eater. It was quite amazing. The guys brought fruit and drinks and carried all the equipment. Rolando was very patient with getting everyone outfitted with snorkelling gear. It was evident that they really wanted us to have a good time.
Rolando was awesome! He picked us up at our hotel , was informative and patient with my friend who had never snorkeled! In redo me experience , beautiful secluded beach , awesome water, loads if fish !!! Many Macaws on our walk !! What a great experience we had and there's more !!! We didn't see monkeys at the beach so Rolando gave us a special treat with sloths and Mo kiss on the way back and souvenirs . A great local guide too 💜💜 I would highly recommend this experience , it was picture perfect !
We liked everything. We had time for snorkeling and for the beach. No stress. The very nice guide.
Rolando is the man!! We booked last minute and he waited on us to meet him on our time schedule. Location is a hidden gem that you must visit if you’re in the Jaco area.
