This was a great boat trip from Jacó. The trip over to beach was beautiful. The beach was nice and so was the snorkeling. We saw some beautiful birds while there. The best part was the lunch it was steak and chicken kebabs and salad and roasted potatoes so good.

It was a a good day to go for a boat ride, snorkel, and hang out on a private beach. The crew were very friendly and attentive. There were a lot of rules as they were for safety and from previous catamaran tours is had a couple draw backs from giving 5 stars. The “trampoline net” area to sit was old and wearing out so you were not allowed to sit on it. You were not allowed to stand along the railing. In previous catamaran tours these were not the case. The ride was very short and I felt it was too expensive. Other than that it was fun.

Thank you for your comments, they help us improve day by day, the Captain will always give preventive instructions before starting the tour to avoid incidents, for us the safety or our clients will always be our priority. It should be noted that each company has different preventions measures. Please take the time to see everything that is included in the tour, maybe this way you will change your mind and see that is not too expensive.
Was a pleasure having you on board and hope to see you again in the future.
Pura Vida!

Staff were not friendly and we found them to be rude at times. The beach was good, the food was great. No fins for snorkeling and not enough adult sized snorkel masks. They didn't have any extra cups, so you had to give yours back if you wanted a new drink, or they wouldn't give you one. It's unfortunate that they are the only ones offering tours to this beach. Would not go again or recommend to others.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your comments, they help us improve day by day, we are very sorry that you consider that our work team is very rude, however for our crew the safety of our clients will always come first and if at any time any of the crew made a observation or suggested that you not do any activity, rest assured that it was for your safety.
We hope to have you on board again in the future.
