5.00We had a wonderful time with the costa cat crew. All the crew members were super friendly and helpful on and off the boat. The snorkel spot was a little rough but there were lots of eyes watching the water and guides swimming along side. Sadly the water was a little cloudy but still had fun swimming and using the slide. The island was beautiful, loved that they had a section for us to lay on chairs and serve our lunch. 10/10 would recommend for the entire family.
Amazing!!! Beyond expectations

5.00We travel to CR frequently. This, by far was one of the best activities that we did with the perfect staff and fun. Ruben and his team were beyond attentive and went way above to make sure that every single guest had what they needed at all times. It was mind blowing!! They even remembered all guest names!!! They made this trip perfect for 3 adults and 5 teens. I cannot speak highly enough of this group! The boat was fun, activities spot on for excitement and just the best day ever! Remember to bring cash for tipping. You will feel horrible if you don’t.
Love this Experience! Loved this Team!

5.00BIG Kudos to the entire CostaCat team! We had a phenomenal time with every need met by the CC team. As a world traveler that is always evaluating the performance and operations of the places I visit, I was thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail and the genuine care that every single staff member exercises as part of their service to their clients. The Costa Cat team was super friendly and eager to ensure that we were all having a great time - from our arrival, to our departure. Welcome party (Aaron and Roberta) were super frendly and accommodating the entire day and started our day off with a tasty breakfast. The captain (Giovanni) did a great job maneuvering the boat to give us a smooth ride, while the chef and cooking staff prepared a delicious buffet for us all to enjoy. No stone was left unturned in making sure that we all had a positive experience. My biggest compliments to the owner of this company and to its staff. We look forward to seeing you all again soon!
A wonderful day in paradise!

5.00This was an amazing experience! Veronica made sure we saw dolphins and took us right up to an island to see spider monkeys! She was also super knowledgeable about the birds and ecology of the area. The snorkeling was beautiful and the hospitality on the island excellent. We were treated to fresh fruit when we arrived, a delicious lunch, and Costa Rica's finest coffee in the afternoon. The captain of the boat was very gracious and helpful to those of us less comfortable climbing in and out of the boat. All in all, a delightful experience!
Great!

5.00This was an awesome excursion. The staff was friendly, personable and helpful. The boat ride was great, the snorkeling and swim from the boat was amazing. The island lunch and beach time was well orchestrated. The sunset on the boat ride on the way back was gorgeous and the captain turned the boat so people could see it on all sides.
I had a totally awesome time on the Costa Cat tour.
