Relaxation on a private beach - Thus was a fantastic tour! Plenty of things to do or you could just spend time in the water or relaxing on the beach. The staff was incredible and attentive. The lunch was by far the best ive had while on an excursion like this.

This was a really nice... - This was a really nice day on the beach. The organizers made it very clear this is not a “booze cruise” and that worked just fine for us. The beach isn’t the most beautiful we’ve experienced - lots of debris from stream runoff and there was also a lot of plastic trash, but it was not overly rocky and there was a good amount of shade. The meal they cooked for us was superb, and the drinks were strong and tasty. The crew was all super nice and friendly, so I’m not sure about the reviews saying otherwise. Overall we loved the day and would highly recommend booking if you’re looking for a chill all-inclusive day on the water and beach.

Best day ever! - We got a last minute booking on the Sea Lounge and could not have been more thrilled with the experience. Our family spanned ages 7 to 73 and we all agreed it was one of our best experiences in Costa Rica. The crew were all very attentive throughout the boat ride and at the beach. The lunch was SO fresh and delicious, even the table setting was impressive considering the remote location. The beach was gorgeous and secluded. We loved the boat ride itself so much, could not have asked for a better day!

Rey Good Experience - There were 12 of us on this sail and beach adventure along with 5 capable and friendly crew. A “dingy” was used to take us to and from the boat, all with ease. The beach and ocean were nice and set in a beautiful location. Unlike most of this type of activity, drinks were made to order and the food was excellent. Great job and good experience all around.

Awesome day! - We had a great day with Johannes and the rest of the crew. They could not have been better. The beach was fantastic, the food was amazing and the drinks kept flowing. Johannes was full of information and so happy to share everything he knew. We saw sea turtles on our way back. Highly recommend this tour.

A fun day - Weather was perfect. Boat trip was about an hour to reach the destination beach. On the way, we saw a whale, supposedly a humpback but couldn't tell because it didn't breach. Water was warm, but choppy, and waves were strong. Beach has lots of big and small pebbles and rocks, so bring water shoes to walk. Lunch was very good, delicious bbq chicken and beef, and fresh salad. They had lounge chairs, hammocks, for us to sit and relax and take in the beautiful view. The only thing I didn't like was the fume from the back of the boat. On the return trip, to avoid the fume, I sat in the front.

Best tour in Costa Rica! Better than Tortuga Island! - This was the best tour we have ever done. We went last year and couldn’t wait to come back so we could do this tour again. However, we saw all the good reviews for Tortuga Island and decided to go there instead. Big mistake! Tortuga Island was good, but too crowded. This tour was much better! I thought the food and drinks were better on this one too. It felt like we were on a deserted island, but with great food, service, and drinks. Don’t book anything but this one, you couldn’t possibly regret it.

Great relaxing day! - It was a great day. Unfortunately, due to rain we couldn't snorkel, and we didn't get to see any sloths. However, the crew was really nice, the lunch was one of the best meals I had all week and the beach was a private paradise.

Lost my reservation from WhatsApp - I was very excited about this trip. I had talked to them via WhatsApp and everything was set. Or so I thought. I showed up at the projected time and they couldn't find me anywhere. I showed them the messages on WhatsApp and they said it was never communicated to them. They did say I could go, but there would be no food. I said can absorb that for a day, but what discount. None. Seriously, they wouldn't even give a discount for the lack of food or inconvenience that I had. Told them no thanks. I was curious if they would respond on WhatsApp . Nope. A serious lack of customer service and follow up. That is the true test of a company, when something goes wrong, what do they do. Definitely not a company to go with. Plenty of others and would suggest looking elsewhere As a side note, I did it the way I did because they said there is a discount if I paid in cash. Guess it was not a smart move on my part.
