Fun and Family friendly! - We had a great time on this catamaran tour. The guides were great, the food was good, and they kept the drinks coming. We had a special surprise of seeing whales and they took the time to stop and let us watch them along the way. We would definitely do this trip again!

Great tour - Great tour with great staff. Enjoyed motoring around the coast and the stop to do some snorkeling. The meal was excellent and got to chat with most of the other guests as we did not have a full charter. Highly recommend.

Wonderful cruise on the Blue Dolphin - The crew of the Blue Dolphin were fantastic. They were all very nice, very attentive, and made sure we had a great time. The cruise took us to snorkel off a secluded beach and then the crew served us a great lunch. The cruise back included a gorgeous sunset that was only partially obstructed by some clouds. My family enjoyed every moment of the trip on the Blue Dolphin.

Wonderful boat tour! - My husband and I had a wonderful time booking an afternoon/sunset sailing cruise with Blue Dolphin. They got us in the same day just hours before. I appreciated how it was smaller and more intimate than other boats. The drinks were phenomenal and started from the beach. The whole crew was very upbeat and super fun. We stopped at a lovely beach and got to swim for a while plus snorkel. Dinner was tasty and hit the spot. I was impressed with the quality of the cruise for the price and everything we received. 10/10 would recommend!!

Just OK - The afternoon catamaran excursion was OK. A big factor was the weather. It was cloudy and a bit rainy and the waves were choppy enough that we didn’t go to the planned locations, no private beach, no snorkeling, no wildlife. We basically took a slow ride to the north end of tamarindo bay, dropped anchor where we swam around the boat for an hour, ate a light meal and returned to the drop off point. If there is any rain in the forecast, I would cancel. The crew members were nice, though one spent all his time hanging out with a couple single female passengers, even caused an argument and one to cry. When I asked our teenage kids which of the 4 excursions we did was their favorite, this was their least. It was also the most expensive. I cannot recommend.
