Enjoy the view with a cold tropical drink, prepared and served by the crew as you scan the seas for dolphins, sea turtles, flying fish or even a breaching whale. You will also be able to snorkel in the bay or run down the deserted white sand beach while the ever helpful crew prepares a feast of chicken, fruit, chips, pico de gallo, guacamole and homemade chocolate chip cookies.

This was a wonderful adventure for all. The trip was both enjoyable and memorable. The snorkeling was somewhat limited but the water, drinks and catamaran trip were outstanding. The food exceeded our expectations and the sunset on the way back was magnificent. The crew was helpful and respectful. Our 75 person boat was only about 45 people so that made the experience even better. Might be a little different with a full boat. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and I would highly recommend it to others!

We had so much fun on this catamaran with such a great crew. I had read previous reviews and was aware that the snorkeling may be a little subpar, however, we still saw a shark, stingray, and lots of fish. The captain and crew were great. The drinks were amazing and so was the food.

Amazing catamaran experience with a super courteous and generous crew. Park near the beach, and then you'll be taken via a small fishing boat to the catamaran which is anchored a couple of hundred yards offshore. Ride up the coast for an hour or so followed by the opportunity to snorkel, paddle board or just jump in the ocean. The water is salt and minerals heavy due to volcanic deposits common across Costa Rica. As a result the water is both really buoyant and good your skin! Tasty lunch and then an hour ride back as you catch the sunset

It was a great afternoon cruise up the coast of CR. Due to water conditions, we did not get to do any productive snorkeling, but the crew was super friendly and the sunset was beautiful.
