Had an awesome Amazing wonderful time with EDWIN.., on board a charter boat in Guanacaste! We set sail from Playa Protero , next to Playa Flamingo .. and soon we were out at sea for 3-4 miles! The boat and seats were quite comfortable and sodas and beer were provided . The first sighting was a sea turtle but soon thereafter we saw 2 sea turtles in a Love - embrace! This was truly fascinating.., a rare sight indeed ! And then , after 10 mins … A MOTHER WITH A BABY WHALE!!! Up close and personal.. a little too close for comfort! But it was well worth it seeing another rare one! While we were on the sweep to turn back .. there were a WHOLE BUNCH OF DOLPHINS.., playing, jumping and swimming in twos and threes! On our way back AGAIN.. a HUMP BACK WHALE! Our hearts were full and we couldn’t have been more excited, my wife and I ! We stopped at a magnificent exquisite crystal blue beach and snorkeled close to it.. no fish but we were beyond caring by this time, having seen the BIG ONES!!! One small disappointment: NO TOILETS on board even though the website said so !
SUCH AMAZING TRIP!

We had a fabulous time snorkelling and seeing the impressive dolphins. Captain Ramiro was great with my 13 year old grandson he answered all his questions and even let him "captain" the boat. Ramiro was super helpful with all the equipment and gave us plenty of instruction and assistance on and off the boat which made me more comfortable in getting into the ocean. We enjoyed juicy tropical fruits, snacks and variety of drinks and there was plentiful. Thank you Qm2tours for unforgettable experience especially for my grandson who's never been on the boat and was so amazed with boating. Overall amazing!
Beautiful day on the water

We had an amazing experience seeing Costa Rica by water on our whale and dolphin tour! Though we did not see any whales, we did see dolphins, rays, and other fish. After staring out from the beach our entire trip it was magical to see Costa Rica from a different perspective. I really appreciated the fact that we had a smaller boat that was private and just for us. They had a cooler onboard with refreshments and fresh fruit, and our driver tried so hard to find whales for us even though we were nearing the end of the season. The company was incredibly accommodating, as well as direct, and prompt with their communications. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and each employee we encountered was kind and helpful. This was one of the more memorable sunsets I’ve seen in my life, and I highly recommend taking a day to explore with them!
