We had a wonderful time with Mariano and Santiago. I have done several snorkeling and boating excursions but this special lunch was amazing. Grilled fish, chicken and plantains cooked and served right on the beach separated this boat excursion from any other that I have been on. I told them my food allergies ahead of time and they did a great job avoiding them.

This was the best excursion we did while in Costa Rica. Very relaxing and the best food we had all week. If you are looking to relax, this is a great tour! Guides were great too!

This trip/tour was beyond our expectations! It is a must for anyone traveling in the Guanacaste area. The tour guide, captain, and assistant went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our selves. The captain grilled delicious chicken and fish for our lunch. Cold drinks alcoholic and non alcoholic were provided throughout the trip.
