Best tour ever - Rolando was awesome! Super professional but also really fun and easygoing. He showed us all the best spots and really knew his stuff about the area and the ocean life. He spoke fluent English and Spanish, so it was super easy to understand everything he explained.
He made sure everyone felt comfortable in the water and even helped us find fish while snorkeling. Afterward, he had fresh fruit waiting for us, which was such a nice touch! We also got to feed the monkeys which was definitely one of the highlights of the day.
Rolando was really accommodating and made the whole trip feel relaxed and enjoyable. Just a heads-up: make sure to bring a bathing suit and a towel! We had such a great time and will 100% be booking with him again next time we’re here.

Personalized service from a knowledgable local - You'll be given the supplies and guidance to have a safe and fun snorkeling experience. Plan to see a variety of animals and enjoy fresh tropical fruits with a kind Tico guide. We loved it!

Amazing snorkeling in paradise - Amazing time snorkeling with my teenage sons. Rolando was very knowledgeable and an amazing host. The locations he chose had so many fish and marine life, it was like swimming inside an aquarium.

Must do! - Such a fun and relaxing day in the beach! 10/10 recommend!! Our tour guide was so sweet and so informative, he even brought fresh pineapple and cut it for us and cracked coconuts for us to drink! He brought bananas and we hand fed monkeys, we spent time on the beach with chairs and hammocks, he taught us to paddle board and we went out and swam! Then Hiked over to another beautiful beach! 100% recommend
