Stellar, Magical Tour. THE BEST!

5.00We had a most amazing wonderful time on this trip! We highly, highly recommend this company. The boat gave us a fast and smooth ride. Our guides, Pilo and Freiser, were the best! They found for us two groups of Dolphins to see very close up. The first was a group of 4 dolphins, 2 juveniles and 2 adults. They were right next to and under our boat, swimming and jumping. The second sighting was so special, a group of about 100 dolphins, slightly smaller animals, spotted. They were feeding, jumping swimming. There was also a group of Frigate birds trying to also catch fish. Pilo and Freiser recognized one of the dolphins, Jacinto was his name. After a long time of enjoying these amazing dolphins, we went to Piedras Blanca. There we saw a sea turtle swimming at the surface, beautiful Pelicans and an Osprey. They took us to a little waterfall, so lovely and magical. As if all of this was not enough, we then went snorkeling for about an hour! I saw a small harmless white tipped shark, a puffer fish, a few good size Angel fish, coral which the scientists are working to restore, and many other beautiful small fish, for example a tiny electric blue one. Our guides were expert at finding and observing these animals and this place they clearly love. This company treated us so well and we are so grateful!
This Tour is a Must for your trip to the Osa Peninsula!

5.00If you are visiting Playa Blanca or Puerto Jiminez - this tour is a must to do to see the beautiful Osa Peninsula and Gulf via boat. The private tour allows you to be able to get a very personable tour. David and Rommel were amazing guides and captains, they make sure you are well informed and see all the dolphins and fish around you. You get to go close and personal to the dolphins and snorkel with the fish. It is a four hour tour and is well worth the money. It truly was such a beautiful experience and a highlight of our Costa Rica trip. You are provided snorkeling gear and fruit and water. Gracias, David y Rommel, por un momento divertido!!!! Esto es algo que nunca olvidaré.

5.00Excellent tour!! We were fascinated. We saw millions of dolphins 😍😍 and in snorkeling we saw lots of little goldfish. The fruit they give you is delicious too. Both David (guide) and Jesus (captain) know a lot and are very attentive. They lent us their fishing rods and we caught a 3 kilo tuna! We would definitely recommend it. Thank you!!
Fantastic tour , worth every penny!

5.00It's my heart to see the whale and its calf swimming. Wonderful. The weather collapsed, rains in surrounding areas did not let the reef see. The captain and the guide tried hard. Reaction of organic pineapple and papaya.
Spectacular

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic time on the water! We saw plenty of whales and dolphins before jumping in the water for some snorkeling. Our guide was a marine biologist and incredibly knowledgeable. We couldn’t recommend this tour enough!!
