Guides were great, super fun and attentive. Our kids loved the slide off the back of the boat and doing back flips off the side. We sailed back to town at sunset with amazing views. Great day trip for our toddler all the way up to our 81 year old grandma!

A must do when visiting tamarindo!!!!

Alex_M, May 2024

My sister and I really enjoyed our experience on this boat. Great snorkel location, tasty food and drinks and wonderful hospitality. Would recommend this experience to anyone.

Great trip, great food, plentiful drinks, beautiful sunset!!

Justin_M, Apr 2024

What a fun afternoon!! It was very windy, but the team took great care of us. We traveled for about an hour from where they picked us up to this great cove where the winds were much more calm. The team kept the drinks flowing the entire time, and the lunch they put out was delicious. We were able to see a beautiful sunset on the way back as well. The staff could not have been nicer, and they took great care of us. There is plenty of places to stay in the shade or the sun, whichever you prefer.

Sailing, swimming, and sunset!

AnneMarie_D, Apr 2024

A successful Catamaran journey! Crew was very helpful from start to end, including explaining where we were heading, pouring drinks, serving food, where to snorkel, how much time to/from each destination. The captain was very social and engaged in conversation with guest, all of this together made the trip an enjoyable and relaxing time.

Beautiful sunset, watch out for jellyfish!

Gabrielle_B, Apr 2024

A group of 8 friends did this boat cruise and we had a good time. The views and the sunset were beautiful and the boat was well maintained and felt clean. As many others commented, lunch was fantastic!! Some down sides to the cruise were 2 of 8 got stung by jellyfish, and not just small jellyfish stings, but stung so badly that we had to seek medical attention the next day. This is not the cruise's fault, but nothing was said by the crew before getting into the water that jellyfish were possibly in the area, they only warned us about sea urchins. This really put a damper on the rest of our trip as we were trying to tend to the jellyfish stings. The crew did have a small first aid kit and gave us some sort of gel to to help with the pain. Drinks were average and what you can expect from an open bar on a boat. The boat also seemed crammed if everyone was upstairs/outside. The music wasn't played very loudly and was a mix of spanish music and 2000's rap/hip pop. Overall it was a good way to see the island and enjoy the sunset. I think you would get a similar experience with any other larger boat tour you book via Viator out of Tamarindo.

Good

Owen_B, Apr 2024

The chicken served tasted amazing, the drinks are what you can expect from an all inclusive event, the snorkeling sights themselves were just ok, we did see some dolphins, the staff was very personable, and there were some fantastic photo opportunities.

Best service/drinks in Costa Rica

Stacey_P, Apr 2024

Best service and best drinks in Costa Rica. Only saw a single fish snorkeling tho so go for the boat ride. The Guaro Sours had fresh muddled lime!

Catamaran snorkel adventure

Carrie_B, Mar 2024

So much fun for the whole family. The crew was amazing! Snorkeling was fun, didn’t see as much as I would have liked, but still fun!

Sunset catamaran ride

Juanita_P, Mar 2024

Unfortunately the water condition was not good for snorkeling but we had a wonderful time! Everyone of the crew members were attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable! I was there with my family and we all enjoyed the afternoon. The sunset was magnificent!

We absolutely loved it.

Shauna_N, Mar 2024

This cruise was so much fun. We loved, swimming, cruising in the open ocean, we saw dolphins, and a stunning sunset. The lunch was good, and the bar was well stocked. CREW was friendly! Can’t recommend this cruise enough.

Relaxing and enjoyable

Sheilagh_C, Mar 2024

Fabulous day out on the ocean. From the start to finish. Crew was knowledgeable and attentive. The weather was spectacular. Didn’t see any fish while snorkelling but the water was refreshing.

Must do event!

Brent_M, Mar 2024

It’s was a great trip! The hospitality and drinks were worth the price. Let alone the snorkeling experience and private beach.

Worth, lively, fun, safe

Kyle_M, Mar 2024

Super fun time with our group of college friends. The staff was so nice and accommodating and the drinks were amazing and certainly bottomless! Food was also delicious and again more than enough. 100% recommend! You will definitely get your moneys worth.

Good day. Shop was great...

Melissa_D, Feb 2024

Good day. Shop was great service and food was amazing but we didn’t snorkel at a reef. Just a cove where there was no fish so very disappointing as we brought our own full face snorkel masks all the way from Canada for this

Wonderful Day at Sea

Nick_D, Feb 2024

Highly recommend this experience! The snorkeling and views were incredible! We even saw a whale breaching! The lunch they served was delicious and there was an open bar. The sunset was also spectacular!

So very disappointed... please read and view the photos.

Rob_K, Feb 2024

As a gift to my wife for Valentines, I booked a Sunset Cruise out of Tamarindo. I received a conformation and details. On day of tour we showed up as directed by the Viator app. As it turned out, the tour was an hour away from us. Tour operator refused refund and now Viator refuses to make it right. So very disappointed!! Please be very cautious when booking their service.

Amazing trip!

Kristin_V, Feb 2024

Great trip! Our group had tons of fun! Boat staff was all amazing! Would definitely do it again! Great food, drinks were incredible!

The snorkeling was very...

Adam_O, Feb 2024

The snorkeling was very cool, I would recommend this to anyone to book a afternoon trip, 5 star meal and drinks

Relax and enjoy the ride.

Debbie_L, Feb 2024

Nice boat, nice staff, good dinner and since we were travelling with kids, the open bar also had good mocktails for the kids. We had two first time snorkelers/first time on the ocean kids with us. Not a lot of colorful fish like you would see in other places but their is nothing the staff can do about that. Anyway, relaxing and scenic. A nice way to spend the afternoon, evening.

Great water experience!

Andriy_A, Jan 2024

Great crew, excellent team work and service. Beautiful weather. Snorkeling spot - so so. Sunset is very memorable!

Great way to spend an afternoon!

Laura_W, Jan 2024

The boat was nice and the guys working were amazing. Constantly bringing people drinks and helping as needed. The lunch was very good. Plenty of time to swim/snorkel. Great day!
