What a great time we had snorkeling, paddle boarding, playing on the beautiful beach. We were surprised with a full meal instead of just chips or a snack.
Highly recommended experience for both children and adults. If you have come this far, you cannot miss it!!! It is priceless to see and swim together with turtles, pufferfish, .... Fair price for food, drinks, music, and experience. Thanks to Captain Josué and his team, Jorge and Anderson, we felt very safe, super well taken care of, and spent a wonderful afternoon with a sunset included.
I can not speak highly enough about this excellent tour! Josue our Captain and his crew were incredible! From the safe and timely pickup, to explanation of safety rules and information, to the beautiful sail, the wonderful snorkel and exploring of Honeymoon beach, the incredibly delicious “snack” which was really a full meal of tacos, salads, fruits, cookies and all you can drink full bar, this was a MUST BOOK for anyone in the Guanacaste area! Josue was an amazing Captain, professional, friendly and kind and really knows his stuff! The sunset was unbelievable and though it was “rainy season” we had a perfectly clear day! While my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, there are some “party-ers” that may not make this quite as family friendly, but the boat is large enough that you can hang out with whatever group suits you. There was a family on board an they too were having a lovely time! I can not recommend this company enough!
We had a blast on the lazy lizard. Josué, David and George were the best crew. We had a great time going to honeymoon beach, snorkeling, and making friends along the way. We would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to go on a sunset catamaran trip while in Costa Rica!!!
What a wonderful time! Very professional boat operation. The other tourists were friendly and upbeat, sharing stories about various adventures in CR. The staff helped everyone on and off the transfer boat according to their needs. The sea was choppy the day we toured, but the inlet we found to swim in was calm, the sand was white and the water a beautiful turquoise! Two other boats of tourists ended up joining us, but no one was a bother. There was a giant floating pad tied to the boat, a couple of sit-on-top plastic kayaks, and a couple of paddle boards offered. There were also pool ‘noodles’ and life vests for support. Two types of snorkeling masks were available if you wanted to swim to the rocky shore area to see puffer fish and other sea life. Once we were all back on the boat a lone sea turtle swim near by. We had delicious tacos with different salads and some sweets for lunch. They accommodate vegetarians as well. Lots of drinks offered with service so you don’t even have to bother to get up to go in for those. Everyone raved about the day!
The crew was so personable and accommodating for our party of 6. Everyone had a great time snorkeling and swimming to the beach. Great drinks and tacos including a vegi option for two of our folks. Other groups on our boat also hade a great time!
We had a great time during this excursion, captain Luis was very knowledgeable and his staff was dedicated to helping everyone. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset
My family and I had a wonderful time on the snorkeling sunset cruise. The staff were great and we felt comfortable and safe the whole time. The snorkeling wasn’t great the day we went but the water was nice and we swam to the beach the boat docked near. My daughter got to use the zayak to help her snorkel and my son used the kayak when he was done snorkeling. Life jackets and noodles were available. The food provided after snorkeling was delicious. The boat had a fun vibe with music and open bar. The sunset from the water was beautiful. I highly recommend this tour.
10/10 experience. We booked the excursion with transportation and they were very punctual. Service was amazing, they were all very nice.
The trip itself was great. The communication beforehand, with my experience, was not great. Even more importantly, the behavior of one particular staff member was not good at all. I booked my trip through TripAdvisor. My email that TripAdvisor sent was, in my mind d, the document that I needed to confirm the excursion and get the necessary details of the excursion. That information was not easily found, but once I did find it there ZERO MENTION of getting to the boat 30 minutes early. I looked at it 3 times before the day of the trip and the ONLY communication was that the trip was at 2:00 pm. I arrived 10 minutes early, and the person in charge of making sure everyone was there started frantically calling my phone on What’sApp as I was pulling up 10 minutes early. He informed that I was late, and that the whole party was waiting on us to arrive as if I was inconveniencing a boat load of people. I told him that I looked at my reservation 3 times and I saw nothing that said 1:30 and thought that I was 10 minutes early. He then proceeded to argue with me stating “Actually sir, we sent you information…” I again told him that I looked the reservation 3 times, and didn’t know what he was talking about with the What’sApp, when he again started to pull out his phone and argue with me about the situation. I finally stated that I did not want to argue with him. The reality was that he wanted to prove me wrong, and I didn’t appreciate that. Apparently 3 weeks prior, when I made the reservation, a Wha’sAPP message was sent that I glanced over and buried about two paragraphs in was a line that said be there at 1:30. There was no text sent the day before stating this, and it was NOT in my email from trip advisor. That communication could be improved on, and the boat company should teach their employees not to argue with customers and try to prove them wrong in front of a group of people. I was incredibly angered by this, and would not recommend the trip based on this customer service.
I am very sorry to learn of your experience. I understand the frustration you feel and will be addressing this directly with the individual that checked you in. It is unfortunate that the message was not clear to you and agree that the interaction you had with this staff member at the beginning of the trip would definitely be upsetting. As you have not mentioned anything about the tour itself, I am hoping that the actual tour was everything you hoped it would be if this encounter had not taken place. We pride ourselves on our service and clearly this interaction is not at the level that we expect of our staff. I assure you this will be addressed to ensure no further situations like this occur. I hope that the rest of the tour was to your liking and that you were able to enjoy the Pura Vida that Costa Rica offers.
