Having been in Costa Rica for 8 days, and used Aviator a couple times (one of them for this activity) but also having engaged with local agencies/suppliers on the spot, I confirm this activity is overpriced and not good value for money.
Facts: you are picked-up from your hotel; you are in a car for about 30 minutes before you get to the beach. The beach is really nice, that is for sure, really nice. You snorkel from the beach (no boat involved) for about 40 minutes. Back in the beach you are given some fruit and water and then driven back to the hotel. That’s it. You can take a taxi and do the same for a 10th of the price I paid through the platform.
The quality of snorkelling in our case was also bad, mainly because in the morning visibility isn’t great. We didn’t see a thing.....
More facts, to make the point even stronger: I have done exactly the same activity, north of Nosara, a couple days later, incl a boat and for almost half the price. The place was better than San Juanillo.
I say this with the utmost respect but this activity as it stands is not worth the money they charge through the platform.
