Marlin del Rey is a must do!!!! - The crew is excellent! They took very good care of us the food was good and there was plenty for everyone. Great Pina colada. On the ride we saw Sea turtles, dolphins and whales. A baby whale gave us a show splashing and jumping out of the water! They provided snorkeling equipment but you can't see anything because the water churned too much but I suspect that it's always like that. We had so much fun.

Great Afternoon! - This was our 3rd time taking this cruise. It just seems to get better each time. A great way to spend the afternoon and see the sights. We saw a whale, some dolphins and sea turtles. Staff are always very friendly and attentive. Food and drinks are great. Will most likely do this the next time we are in Tamarindo!

Great experience - This was a great experience. We took a small boat to the catamaran which took us out about an hour and a half. The snorkeling experience wasn’t as organized as we’ve had in the past. They didn’t have life jackets for everyone which I didn’t like. But the drinks were steady, the food was really good and the staff was very very nice.

- Fun tour! The staff was amazing and very friendly! Open bar and cool nets to sit on at the front of the boat. Beautiful views and delicious food. Would definitely recommend! It was fun for our whole family - we have kids ages 2 and 5. We even saw some sea turtles.

What a Great Tour! - This was the best "cruise" I have ever done! We sailed with sails up, stopped in a quiet bay to snorkel and have dinner, then, while motoring back, we spotted porpoises, turtles, sea snakes and a shark! The drinks were good, however I wouldn't call this a "booze cruise" by any means. Everyone was mellow and happy and had a good time! Sunset was gorgeous and getting on and off was super easy!

Cancelling at last possible minute by tour operator - I booked the tour 3-4 days in advance and the tour operator cancelled at 4:00pm the trip I had for the following morning. They told me I could pay additional $ to get the sunset tour (btw at this time of year it is almost always raining in pm and at night) and did not even offer to switch me with no additional fee. There is no time to book anything else. Very disappointed
