Friendly staff and lots of fun.

The boat tour was very fun! It was very wavy and windy the day we set sail, but they kept us safe and happy! It was also a very good lunch we had on the boat! They played good music and were friendly. All types of ages were on the boat!

False Advertising

If you are looking for getting drunk and listening to loud Latin music for 5 hours straight in hot sun, totally, go for it. But just so you know, there was no dolphin or whale watching or snorkeling. They don’t even have enough life jackets or snorkels . They had couple of kayaks and one paddle board which was not enough. They say they saw dolphins and whales yesterday but if it doesn’t happen today is because the waters are murky. Personally I don’t think so. We were there for snorkeling and dolphin or whale watching. It was the most disappointing experience we had in Costa Rica.
