FUN IN THE SUN! - First, let me commend your team for their patience. We had a miscommunication with the departure time, and the team sprung into action to make sure we did not miss the sailing. We had an amazing time on the Blue Dolphin. The crew was lively, engaging, and did everything with hearts to serve. People were dancing, talking, tanning....there was something for everybody! The drinks were flowing, and the food was delicious! Everyone had a wonderful time.

Great time for all ages! - Just got off a morning excursion with Chute, Pablo and Roberto. They couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating and made sure our group of various ages had a great time. After a quick safety review on shore at the meeting point, we went out in a small dinghy to catch the catamaran. On board, we got some additional information to keep us safe and comfortable and off we went. We enjoyed plenty of drinks and some snacks on the cruise out to the cove where we jumped off and snorkeled to shore. They were equipped with lots of sizes of fins so everyone could go. The snorkel gear was clean and in good shape. I don’t think Costa Rica is known for its snorkeling but it was perfect for our group. Then we were treated to a spread of fresh fruits, granola, banana bread and croissants. As an added bonus, a fresh tuna caught on the trip was sliced up for a sashimi treat. Incredible! Great way to spend a morning in Costa Rica.

Fabulous half day catamaran tour and snorkling - The morning half-day trip was terrific! The crew (Homberto, Chute, and Pablo) were highly attentive and friendly. We caught a mackerel tuna on our trip out. While we were enjoying our snorkeling, the crew fileted it and had it as part of our breakfast spread to enjoy. It was delicious! We would highly recommend this trip!

Highlight of the Trip! - We had a great time! Homemade banana bread, fruit, and fresh sashimi were such a treat. The crew was super friendly. There were 8 of us on the boat and we all had a wonderful time swimming at a private beach with snorkel gear, paddle boards, and pool noodles. Highlight of the trip!
