5.00Tour guides were absolutely wonderful. This was of the best excursions we did in Costa Rica. The beach was beautiful and the monkies may have been better than the beach. Tons of stuff to see when snorkeling as well. This is a must do private trip.

5.00Our tour guide was Rolando. We did have a rental vehicle, but we are really lucky that we got him to pick us up at our hotel as I don’t think we would’ve found the place. As soon as we got out of the vehicle there were so many monkeys hanging around. Rolando had brought bananas and it was thrilling especially for the kids to feed the monkeys. We also saw macaws, a sloth, and an ant eater. It was quite amazing. The guys brought fruit and drinks and carried all the equipment. Rolando was very patient with getting everyone outfitted with snorkelling gear. It was evident that they really wanted us to have a good time.
Awesome snorkeling and wildlife viewing

5.00Rolando is the man!! We booked last minute and he waited on us to meet him on our time schedule. Location is a hidden gem that you must visit if you’re in the Jaco area.

5.00This is the one! Book it! Rolando, the owner operator, and the locations he takes you too are 100% the best. If you are looking for Pura Vida, this is it. Laid back, beautiful locations, GREAT snorkeling. We fed monkeys, saw Macaws, and so much underwater wildlife. Rolando is very patient, knowledgeable, and took wonderful care of our family.
