Relaxing, beautiful dreams, awesome crew - I booked this for my 31st birthday and enjoyed every minute of it! Even with the windy conditions it was a great time. We did get to see a few dolphins, but no whales. Keep in mind when the currents are stronger when it’s a little bit windier it’s not the best snorkeling conditions so we did not get to snorkel, but that did not take away from my experience in my opinion. The The crew on the ship was awesome and friendly. Highly recommend. I wouldn’t say this is a party boat atmosphere but I did not mind that at all. It was a safe and fun environment.

Lovely afternoon! - Really nice experience! We saw several dolphins and snorkeled. They served a delicious lunch and the open bar was a plus! Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful views. Highly recommend! Note that you start the tour on the beach - they ferry you out to the catamaran on a smaller boat.

Pura goodness - Our family saw whales breach while we sipped Pina Coladas. Then we snorkeled and jumped off the boat into warm tropical water. Next was a delicious buffet before retiring to the last sunset of 2024!

Perfect morning on the Marlin Tres! - Great tour! Very professional captain and crew, everyone was helpful and nice, the boat spacious and super clean! We saw dolphins, went snorkeling to a local beach and had a great lunch. There were groups of all shape and size- we had young kids with us and they had a blast! Highly recommend!

Good sunset, too crowded. - Very attentive and friendly staff. Great food choices for vegetarians. Waited on the boat for 1 hour while everyone joined from the small speed boat coming from the beach meeting point. Too many people on the boat and it felt crowded. Unlimited alcohol is unsafe for those that are inexperienced in the water. It was also unsafe for people to be swimming with drinks. Trying to be a party boat with loud music. The snorkels are dirty / mouldy and there were no instructions on how to put on the snorkel and flippers. Not much visibility while snorkeling. Sunset was stunning. Did not raise the sail.

Nice and simple - It was a nice ride. The customer service was great, and when we couldn’t make our date due to landslides blocking all the roads they let us reschedule to the next day. I do wish we had more time snorkeling/swimming. There was not much to see for snorkeling but I enjoyed swimming a lot. The first hour and a half or so was spent sight seeing, and I wish more would have been time swimming. There is really only about 15-20 minutes to swim until they bring out the food and you then kind of have to choose between having to eat fast or enough time in the water. The drinks were a little weak but really good, as expected with an open bar. The boat was slightly crowded so go early and get a good seat/spot. Overall a really nice experience.

Be aware that although... - Be aware that although this trip states that good weather is necessary, they will go out in most any weather. At the time of our trip it was thundering and lightning and pouring down rain and continued to do so for hours and never fully cleared that day. Pay careful attention to weather forecast and cancel at 24 hours out if it looks at all iffy. The company offered us another morning trip instead of a sunset trip but we were already booked with other activities on our trip.
