5.00While snorkelling in Costa Rica can be hit-or-miss, we were thrilled to see green turtles, reef sharks, puffer fish, snapper and a variety of other colourful fish. The hospitality was top-notch—the snacks and post-snorkel lunch were much appreciated. Our host, Shabbi, was informative and attentive, and the entire crew made us feel safe and well-cared-for throughout the trip.
Worth every penny!
