Great experience, beautiful sunset and tasty food! Guys were very accommodating and we had a great time!
Overall the boat was organized, safe and enjoyable. We are glad we did this tour. However regarding the main activity- snorkeling- you are mostly on your own. ‘Too many waves, so we cannot help this’, ‘The fish are near rocks but don’t go there’. So we were left with hardly any snorkeling at all. But the ride, music and drinks were fun.
Everything was excellent, the food was very good, the guys were very kind and respectful.
Excellent fun trip great employees!
This was not an enjoyable excursion for two reasons: (1) the “captain” was drinking and flirting with the girls on board, leaving the “job” unattended. Safety was an issue for us. (2) the “captain” made a couple of derogatory comments about LGBTQ+ passengers on board that did not sit well. Overall, not recommended. There are safer options to book from. Not worth the $$$
It was beyond our expectations! The crew was amazing, the food and snacks were refreshing and the assortment of drinks was great for all ages. Would definitely go again! The sunset was surreal!
We had a great time. Seas were big and a two out of ten did not feel great but the crew were friendly and took great care of us. Seeing the land from the ocean was amazing. Came back just in time for sun set!
This was a really fun and chilled way to spend an afternoon. The staff on the boat were really attentive and the food was some of the best we had on a trip like this during our 3 week stay in Costa Rica - and we did quite a few. We were lucky enough to see some turtles, the sunset was amazing and the time to swim in the ocean was perfect. We had a little one with us and she was well taken care of and considered too, despite it being more of a grown up activity.
We had a wonderful sunset cruise. After boarding the boat, we were welcomed with a cocktail. The drinks were plentiful and the music was great. We were with our family of 4, 18 year old and 15 year old. They both had fun as well. The area we swam in had a bit of a current so you needed to stay close to the boat. My son and husband made the swim to the beach which was a bit more difficult than they expected. The food provided on the boat was amazing. The banana bread was worth the entire trip.
Staff friendly and boat clean. Lovely food and lots of drink provided throughout tour. Wouldn’t recommend for families with small children as got a bit lively, however for adults it’s great. Good music and lively atmosphere.
