Nice boat, nice staff and nice view - Staffs are friendly, they even come with you and introduce about the rock and the creatures near the island, they even introduce about the whales. Boat is nice with beds only.

What a delightful day! - Local friends worried,”did you know that’s a PARTY boat?!?” And yes, it was boisterous and a bit loud on the lower deck, but quieter up top and still in the shade. We had a good time with the people on the tour, but the highlight was the very friendly, personable and attentive staff. The best. (Lots of whale sightings and awesome bird watching at the islands.)

Great day out - Fantastic day out! The staff were super attentive and very passionate about their jobs. We saw so many whales and learned lots from our guide. Food was good and open bar was fun. Recommend.

Highly recommend a day with Chica Locca - I am not exaggerating when I say we saw about 25 whales, 7 orcas and a pod of dolphins, along with numerous birds on our cruise on 12/11/24. Luis and the whole crew were very conscientious and informative regarding the wildlife in the area, being very careful and respectful of the bounty of beautiful creatures living in the Banderas Bay. Additionally, they provided drinks and food and fabulous service throughout the journey, as this is touted as a "party boat," though it was far more than that as it turned into a serious whale watching cruise. Those of us who had to swim to Marietas Island did have some stronger surf to deal with, but the staff made us feel safe and supported getting in and out of the boat and to the shore. The water that day was not clear enough for great snorkeling, but we were not disappointed because the crew felt we would see whales if we pushed on, and boy, did we ever! I thoroughly enjoyed Luis's knowledge of the rich history of the region, as well our conversation regarding current events shaping the world. He was a great guide, and the whole crew was nothing but absolutely stellar. A highlight of our trip to this wonderful region!

12/10! We had a great time! - My wife and I booked the Chica Locca Tour to the Marietas Islands on a whim. Carlos was so friendly and helpful to get us just the right experience without all the extra fluff. Pickup time was 7:30am and the shuttle would return after for about 4pm. Breakfast was muffins and fruit and lunch was a fajita dish. Drinks were served all day! We were informed that Whale season had just begun (Mid December-February) and got to see humpback whales as well dolphins as we cruised to the island. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable, easy to chat with as they took care of the boat and equipment for snorkeling. I felt very safe on their boats and there was tons of room for a sizeable group to enjoy amazing views all day. We highly recommend this tour group and will look for them next time we visit the area!

Absolutely the best experience of my life - My friend Tony said to go to Chico Loco because It’s the Best. He was Not wrong. The staff were absolutely amazing. The boat was incredible, had everything you could want/need. You didn’t need to ask for anything. They were on top of everything very knowledgeable giving information about everything we would be doing along with history, we got to watch Wales & dolphins. The private beach was fabulous. 10 out of 10 experience. I’m already telling everyone I know to book the tours available. I’m ready to go back & do another.

Not the best - Kayaks and fishing equipment were not brought out or made available. Food was very little… breakfast was too light, no seconds for lunch and no chips/guac till the very end. The pictures were okay but they kept trying to change the pricing.
