Dreamlike for sure and definitely a “ time to remember” …..
I would not even know where to start as this trip has been an absolute dream worth every penny we spent on this private tour!!! Ruben our guide was exceptional, kind, fun, knowledgeable and so very accommodating in any and every way. The captain on board was simply GREAT and stopped more than probably planned for us to observe the whales and dolphins we were fortunate enough to come across. We were out for three hours and no moment was wasted!! Swimming to the island felt a bit intimidating first ( you definitely should know how to swim at least on an intermediate level) but Ruben made sure of everyone’s safety and the experience was a one in a million one for sure!! There were groups on the island before us and more people arrived when we were about to leave. That nobody was on the beach the full 30 minutes you’re allowed to stay there was very lucky and will not always be the case I believe. No matter what I cannot enough recommend this tour and if I ever should be back in that area I would without thinking about it twice repeat it in a heartbeat. A a huge thank you to Ruben and the captain!!! Can’t wait to be back !!!!!

Marietas private boat tour to hidden beach
Great tour guide and boat captain. Took us straight to the hidden beach. Took well framed images. Good narrative of islands and animals. We say a lot of whales and dolphins!

Highly unethical- be very careful
Beware of these unethical practices- I have never experienced this type of blatant extortion and we have traveled a lot. I am able to write this review because I paid for the tour but never got to go on the tour- so I lost hundreds of dollars. First they cancelled our group tour and said I had to purchase a private tour which was twice as expensive. I did that. I never actually went on the tour because it was cancelled due to bad weather on the seas. The day of the tour, 3 hours before the tour I saw them say we could go on it. I said great. Then I texted my other boat tour in the evening and they said the seas were still unsafe so they were still cancelled. So within the hour I wrote back and said I was not going to go and please refund us like they offered last night. They read the text but did not respond until after the tour started and then said- sorry, we can’t refund you at all. The tour started and you were a no show. I told them I would go to viator and they said they would offer me 50% back but if I went to viator it wouldn’t be much less.

Operator response
Hello Julia, we do not agree with what you say and I will explain why... 1. First of all, you were the one who requested the change to the private package, we have the conversation and we will show it to Viator... we never suggested it to you, we just told you that you could do it if that was what you wanted. 2. It is true that we warned you in good weather that the tour was going to be complicated due to weather issues that were out of our hands, but also in good weather we warned you again that the conditions improved significantly and that the tour would take place, We all had the port open for maritime activities and we cannot be responsible for what other agencies other than us decide to do with their own tours, and that is why we were waiting for you but you never arrived. 3. We did not respond because you had already said that you would do so the night before and based on that only the terms and conditions of Viator were met, which say that you cannot cancel with less than 24 hours and we only took care of letting you know that in based on the rules you couldn't get your refund. In addition to that, we did our part and tried to negotiate with you since we had to cover your tour expenses and we only wanted what was proportional to what we spent, but your responses were always negative.

Amazing close up to nature with an incredible crew
What a day! We had a private boat for my wife’s birthday. The crew was so kind- especially Johnny (funny, professional and knowledgeable). His assistant Jose was polite and attentive. And the captain Martin was extremely safe and experienced. We saw whales up close, were lucky to have the hidden beach all to ourselves, and saw amazing fish during the snorkeling. We are grateful and happy. Worth the special occasion and the money.
