A Perfect Day on the Water! - Our Saturday catamaran excursion to Islas Rosario was an absolute highlight! If you're looking for a relaxing and well-organized day at sea, this is it. The Experience: The catamaran itself is incredibly spacious. Even with a full group, it never felt overcrowded, which made for a very comfortable and laid-back atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly through the day, ensuring everyone was taken care of. The Amenities: They provided all the gear needed for a great time in the water, including snorkel equipment, floating noodles, and life jackets. Quick note for snorkelers: they provide masks and snorkels, but no fins, so keep that in mind if you have a preference! The Food: The included lunch was wonderful - fresh, flavorful, and the perfect fuel for a day of swimming and fun. Overall It was a seamless, beautiful day out on the water. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area who wants a high-quality, spacious boat experience!

Full on experience. - This is the excursion you want if you want the full fun experience. The staff is awesome, friendly, and attentive. The Captain always had a smile on his face showing you he loves his job. He was friendly and very easy on the eyes. 😉 I would definitely do this again.

Rosario Islands without Getting off the Boat! - Overall, this Rosario Islands excursion was a really fun day on the water—just go in with the right expectations and you’ll enjoy it. First, an important callout: despite the name, you do not stop on any of the islands. We misread that when booking, so just know this is more of a boat day with snorkeling rather than an island-hopping experience. They leave promptly at 8:30 AM, and they mean it—don’t be late or you will miss the boat. The day is well-paced once you’re out there, and the snorkeling is a nice highlight. The ride out is smooth, but the ride back can get pretty choppy. That said, it’s totally manageable—just something to be aware of if you’re sensitive to motion. Lunch was surprisingly very good—definitely exceeded expectations for a boat excursion. And a bonus: the drinks on board are very reasonably priced, so it’s easy to relax, have fun, and fully enjoy the experience. All in all, a great, laid-back day if you’re looking to be out on the water with good food, drinks, and snorkeling—just don’t expect to step foot on the islands themselves.

So so trip - The service on the boat was very good, the snorkeling experience was poor. Drinks were good. Lunch was decent. Boat ride was nice. But the snorkeling was very boring

Not really worth it - It was an okay experience. The boat was pretty full, so if you are not a fan of crowds, you won't enjoy it much. The two stops and snorkeling were underwhelming. There is nothing to see in the water, and the time in the water is kind of boring. The staff are nice and the lunch was fine. I am not a beach club kind of person, but after this experience, I think I would have preferred to spend a few hours at a beach club instead of being stuck on a boat for most of the day.

This is not sailing trip - it is a boat ride on a party boat. - Dear Team, I wanted to express my disappointment with the boat trip we booked for three people and request a refund. Your trip guaranteed a full sailing experience. We didn't sail at all, despite the perfect conditions. I am a sailor and understand the seas. Instead, we had a speedboat tour, which is what your website said would not happen. I asked your staff if we would sail. They said YES, eventually, and then did not want to do the work to raise the sails. Furthermore, your website stated, "This is not a party boat." It was: there was loud music the entire time. Seven hours of loud music was not what I had in mind. It would be nice to have some moments with the absence of sound to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. And we were guaranteed two snorkeling spots: one was nice, although most of the coral was dead; the other spot had no coral, no visibility, and no fish. It was an incredibly high price for services that were not provided. I look forward to your response. Thank you.
