Dolphin & Snorkel Tour - I 100% recommend this tour and with this group. Our captain was excellent and our onboard marine biologist was full of information. We had a great experience with a Bottlenose Dolphin and saw amazing fish while snorkeling. Our guide even found a large sting ray!

An amazing 4 hours in the Golfo Dulce - The tour was top notch with a knowledgeable guide who went over and above so that we were able to see a mama whale and her calf. We also saw dolphins up close and learned about their lives. Anyone who wanted to fish was able to catch a tuna and they even cleaned the fish for us at the end of the tour. Perhaps the most exciting was snorkeling where we were able to hear whale songs underneath the water. A great value and a morning well spent.

10/10 tour! - Great tour! We got to see a huge group of bottlenose dolphins and a humpback whale mother with her calf. The tour guides work in wildlife conservation and research, so they were very knowledgeable. We also snorkelled off the coast of Corcovado national park, where we saw birds like toucans too. They included a packed fruit cup for everyone plus water. We also got to catch our own wild tuna. 10/10!

Breathtaking day on the water. - Might be the best tour we have ever taken so far our guides David and Arturo were friendly, extremely knowledgeable and did everything they could to make our day spectacular. We were lucky enough to see a mom and a baby whale and the baby well did a full breach right in front of us once a lifetime kind of thing we saw hundreds of dolphins. We also were lucky enough to see two different species of dolphins and then on the way back they put out a fishing line and we got to reel in a fish was absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to go back and do it again.

To do: Gulf Dulce! - Excursion from Playa Blanca on a boat reserved for us: Crew and ideal conditions: in three hours we observed dolphins, whales, sea turtles... without meeting many other tourists.

Great family tour - We appreciate all of the knowledge David our guide had about the land and marine life. We really learned about the culture and animals of the Gulfo Dulce. He and our Capitan were very willing to tailor the tour to what we were interested in. We loved seeing the baby dolphin with her Mom. They really approached the tour from a place of conservation and science which we appreciated.

Great trip! - We had an excellent trip with Juan Eduardo and Arturo. We caught a lot of fish, and saw a ton of animals, birds and fish. The captain and mate were extremely nice and knowledgeable about the gulf and fishing. We would definitely recommend this tour!!

Golfo dulce tour - We did a Golfo tour out of Playa Blanca in La Palma, north of Jiménez. It was a great location to depart from because you spend most of your time on the boat tour in the north part of the Golfo anyways. It’s a beautiful area. The captain and guide were friendly and helpful and overall we had a really great time touring the area and swimming. It was great.

Great Tour, Flexible Company - Catered to our needs exactly! We had a tight timeframe and budget but they were able to take us to snorkel! Saw dolphins on the way and one turtle. Gave us fruit as a snack on the beach and talked with the guides. Recommend this company as it is very personal

Very nice experience - This activity was a wonderful memory, we were able to see many marine animals (rays, dolphins, turtles, tuna, different fish) accompanied by numerous explanations on the local fauna and flora in English. We dove to observe the corals and some fish. Great fresh fruit snack on a black sand beach. I recommend !
