Best boat ride - This was an awesome experience. From the guidance we received upon arriving at the departure location to the service on the boat - amazing food, the boat was spacious, the music was great, to how prepared they were with aquatic equipment and, the ride to and from the islands were so smooth. You just try their pinacolada! Everyone was very nice.

Memorable trip - Nice trip. Anybody who signs up for this trip should know that it takes 2 hours to get to the first stop. There you can swim/snorkel around the catamaran. Snorkeling gear is included and offered in exchange for your ID document. You do not go onshore. The next stop is another 1.5 hours of sailing, but the sea gets pretty rough. The second stop is lunch. Food is abundant and delicous. Not every restaurant would feed you such nice food. Return is another 2 hours through stormy waters, which is typical for the second part of the day when it gets really windy. Evarybody got sprayed with sea water from head to toes. Also, what may be advisable is to have good earplugs to protect your ears from nonstop local pop music played at the level of over hundred decibels during the entire tour.

Great Day on the Water - We had a fun day taking the catamaran out to the Rosario Islands. We started with fresh watermelon juice and the lunch provided was outstanding. There weren't many fish to see with the snorkeling, but it was till nice to cool off in the water. Everything was organized and the crew was very nice and professional.

Catamaran tour of Rosario - Nice atmosphere on large catamaran that seemed to tolerate the sometimes rough water more smoothly than smaller boats. There are plenty of seats in the shade and the sun. Staff were friendly and helpful. The music was fun. The snorkeling was disappointing-the water was rough where we anchored with no living coral or fish to be seen. They only provide the snorkel, mask, and life vests, no fins. Some of the masks are barely functional. The second stop was closer to shore where we could swim to a small remote beach, but the water was cloudy with limited visibility. It’s still a nice day on the water.

Excellent boat ride, but no snorkeling - There was no snorkeling to be had. They didn’t go anywhere near a reef. For people like me who were excited to go snorkeling it was quite disappointing. The boat itself is beautiful, if you just wanna go for a nice boat ride, it’s very stable and well built and this is a great tour for you

My experience in the catamaran Bona Vida - The experience was regular, although the crew was not rude, they were not the best hosts either, as when asking them or requesting information or support they answered poorly and even with faces, likewise there is no interaction with people to motivate the atmosphere, so it is like getting on a common boat.

Lots of navigation and little time in destinations - The services provided on the tour are good. Good food and drinks on board, good service. The only con we found on this tour is that it is sailing more than 2/3 of the time and little use is made of the time at the stops.

Don’t Bother! - 2/10 experience and I’d give it that because we snorkeled and they did provide food which was mid. Alcoholic beverages were not included and the staff didn’t engage with guest or ensure that it was enjoyable experience. I learned of this tour from a video on and TikTok and how it was promoted seemed really promising. It was thee most boring low energy experience of my entire trip. Really should have chosen BoraBora or PowPow or any other catamaran. But BonaVida definitely isn’t it!
