They don’t give you full information about what the experience will be like. I have taken several boat tours at different destinations and I was expecting to board at a dock. No. You wade through surf to a small boat that takes you to the catamaran. You will be instantly wet from the waist down as the waves crash over the front of the little boat. The message before the tour said wear deck shoes. It doesn’t matter what kind of shoes you wear since they take them from you when boarding the catamaran. There was no safety briefing about life vests locations etc, nor do they mention the stinging jellyfish. It doesn’t hurt that bad but it would be nice to know before. The boat anchored so far from the snorkeling spot that only 2 people out of 40 made it that far. Still, I did enjoy swimming in the ocean but we probably only had a total of 40 minutes to do that. We saw a whale and lots of dolphins, which was awesome until I realized they are luring the dolphins with something on a fishing line they cast behind the boat. Personally I would rather not see them than disrupt them like that. The food was chicken, rice, refried beans, chips and fruit. The drinks were endless.

This sunset cruise was the absolute highlight of our trip! Our group of eight was picked up and dropped off directly from our Airbnb, which made everything so easy and stress-free. The transportation was smooth, and once we arrived at the dock, the experience only got better. The boat itself was perfect- spacious and clean with a very well-stocked open bar, a comfy layout pad, and spotless bathrooms (a huge plus!). The amenities were honestly top-tier, but the real standout was the staff. They were incredible: fun, friendly, professional, and attentive. They were genuinely dedicated to making sure everyone was having a great time. The snorkeling was really enjoyable, and the lunch they served was light, fresh, and exactly what we needed after swimming and sun. And of course, the views during the sunset were unforgettable. It was so beautiful, someone even proposed (don’t worry, she said yes)! Truly an amazing experience from start to finish. If you’re visiting Costa Rica, do NOT skip this cruise! Highly, highly recommend.

It was my wife and I and our 2 kids(8 and 12) ours were the only kids on the boat. The crew were great with them and we all had an amazing time! We saw a school of stingrays along with many other big and small fish. It was great!

This snorkel and sunset cruise was one of the best experiences of our trip! Everything was well-organized, relaxed, and packed with memorable moments. The snorkeling was fantastic—I saw plenty of colorful fish, and then had the chance to go out with Rudy, who helped me find Conch, oysters, and even a sea star! It was such a fun and unique part of the experience. We also got to see bottlenose and spotted dolphins jumping near the boat, which was absolutely magical. The open bar kept the good vibes flowing, and the lunch was surprisingly delicious—way better than your typical boat cruise food. A definite highlight was jumping off the boat with crew members Jesus and Fabian, who brought such great energy to the trip. And of course, the views were breathtaking, especially as the day ended with an unbelievable sunset that felt straight out of a postcard. This cruise struck the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Rica—you won’t be disappointed!
Great experience perfect for families
