A must try when visiting - From first communication to the end of our trip, Evil Panda Fishing was exceptional. Great communication, great direction, great guides, everything was top-notch. We had a wonderful day of fishing, although we did not catch what we were trying for, mahi-mahi, we caught Blackfinn tuna, Red snapper, and grouper. Nickolas and Juan Carlos did not disappoint. We saw many whales, dolphins and sea turtles so it was a great day all around. We were very lucky to have Nicholas chop up some of the tuna and make a carpaccio that we enjoyed on the boat. I would highly recommend if visiting the area and looking for a fishing adventure you go with Evil Panda Fishing.

Red snappers - The evil panda fishing team was delightful to travel with. They were excellent guides and made certain we were very comfortable and provided drinks and some fruit for us. They helped us catch some lovely red snappers that we ended up having cooked at our resort which tasted incredible! Would recommend.

Great Fishing Trip - This trip was such a great time!!! The captain and crew were amazing!!! They picked us up right on the beach! Do yourself a favor and book with them!

Fun trip! - Juan and Nickolas were great tour guides. We weren’t very successful fisherman today. We could a few and it was fun. We also do a whale, dolphins, and turtle.

Memorable trip - Juan Carlos and Nicolas. Thank you for a memorable trip for my boys. We saw sperm whales, green turtles and dolphins, in addition to catching a few mahi mahi that were then made into a delicious ceviche by Nicolas.

Wonderful excursion! - What a wonderful day of fishing! Wonderful crew who knew where the fish were and cleaned and fileted the mahi mahi and tuna that we brought home. Wonderful communication with the owner of the boat made everything about the day very easy. Highly recommend!

WE LOVE EVIL PANDA!! - Had an amazing experience on the Evil Panda fishing tour. Waters were a little rough for fishing and only got one mahi mahi but we still made wonderful memories! We ended up going to an area to snorkel, paddle board and feed the monkeys. We were spoiled on this trip with great drinks (especially the pina coladas), snacks and they even prepared our mahi mahi for us as sashimi with chips, beans, salsa and delicious fruit. The crew was incredible and played fun “Costa Rica” music for us. Even though the fish didn’t bite, we loved every minute of our tour. Would highly recommend this company!

Incredible snorkeling and beach trip - My family had a 4-hour morning boating experience in January 2024 with a snorkeling and beach trip. Our guides - Juan Carlos and Nicholas - were knowledgeable and friendly. They provided excellent snacks and drinks. They took us to multiple beautiful locations for snorkeling and provided us with all of the necessary equipment (masks, fins). Our snorkeling guide helped us to see many types of fish, sea urchins, turtles, and dolphins. We went to a nice beach that had very few other people and was a great location to have a drink and relax. It was the highlight of our family vacation to Costa Rica! I would highly recommend Evil Panda Fishing for a fantastic experience that you will remember for your lifetime!

Amazing! - Nicholas and captain Juan were absolutely accommodating to my family. They treated us like kings and queens. We got to snorkel, fish, tour sea caves, have a delicious lunch and got to view the beautiful coast near playa hermosa. I highly recommend, the boat was beautiful and comfortable. We had an absolute blast. My 9 year old son, his dad and myself loved our time on the evil panda fishing boat.

Fishing Trip of a Life Time! - Our fishing guides were OUTSTANDING! Their friendly and fun personalities made this trip memorable along with their expertise. They were able to get us close enough to see four hump back whales, dolphins, a sea snake, and manta rays not to mention catching A LOT of fish!
