What an excursion!!! - The crew was absolutely fabulous. Very attentive, nice and they did it all!! The DJ was 🔥🔥🔥 during the boat ride and even played saxophone on the beach during lunch. We snorkeled and one of the crew members found a starfish for us and dove down to point it out. I loved this excursion very much. They made sure our tour was fun & memorable. Recommend this for anyone traveling to Costa Rica!!

A must do! - This was an entire day event! I thought we would only be on the beach for a couple of hours, but we were there until 3pm! We were able to go snorkeling, where we saw so many tropical fish swimming around us! For the banana boat ride, we had a choice, soft and touristic or fun with getting thrown off! Which would you choose? The boat ride to and from was interesting. The onboard entertainment was engaging! The food was delicious, and I had doubts…sorry to admit! Over all, it was so worth every penny and probably more!

Incredible Day! - I don't know about the other reviews - my day was just about perfect. Great driver. Captain was outstanding. Crew was on top of everything, very professional, and very courteous. They brought fruit, banana bread, rum punch, drinks, and coffee around. Everything was great! Our tour guide Mary was just the best. It was a fantastic day!

Beautiful experience - My daughter and I had the best time on Bay Island Cruise ! The staff were very attentive making sure we all were okay if we need anything ! Did an amazing job at translating in both Spanish and English and being we were the only ones on the tour that spoke only English the tour guide (I wish I remembered his name ) took the time out to come to us personally and translate in English . Food was great ! Just make sure you come prepared for a full day in the sun ! It was hot with little shelter from the sun by no fault of the company … it’s an island , a beautiful if’s land ! We snorkeled and saw so many beautiful fish and the banana boat ride was fun ! Book with them for your next trip ! Also, great DJ and music to get you ready for the island adventure.

Enjoy the views on the water - I had an amazing time, the staff is very friendly and helpful with making sure you are having a good time. The food was pretty good but wish they had a different breakfast option than what was provided. We did get to see many wildlife as we traveled like, whales, dolphins and a sea turtle which was pretty cool to see in their natural environment.

A long mediocre day - A long 2 hour bus ride from Jaco stopping once to pick up other guests then a long slow 2 hour boat ride to a small beach. The highlight was an ok snorkeling experience that you have to pay extra for. Everything is just ok, nothing stands out. I have been to many beautiful islands and beaches around the world, this one is a 3 out of 10. The food is 4 out of 10 because of the vegetarian option. The crew are not super friendly, I tried to get a band aid for a cut, the crew member told me he had a first aid kit but I never received a band aid. Unless you want a long mediocre day with not much going on I would avoid this one

The worst thing about Costa Rica without a doubt - Confusing information inside the boat, alcoholic drinks were included, except for a cocktail, but then it turns out that it was only one alcoholic drink, everything else was chargeable. The excursion within the island and the banana trip were not done because they do not want risks, but they maintain the service and charge for it. They give you a drink to compensate, but in practice, they continue to reduce the supposed compensation, until it becomes nothing. The only excursion made, diving, takes you to a delimited place with little attraction. Everything is done to get by. The problem is not mainly the staff, the poor are not to blame, it is the organization. 100% improvable
