Well worth the cost. - Quite an experience. the Panga we had was clean, well equipped and the driver was personable, knowledgeable and knew right where to go to find the whales and dolphins that breeched within yards of us. In fact, there were times when we could have reached out and touched some of the dolphins that swam beside the panga. We've been on these types of trips in other parts of the world in the past, but this one was the best. Highly recommend it.

Amazing boat trip, don't rent the leaky snorkel gear - Great shuttle, great boat, great captain. We loved the views and beaches. The only issue we had was the snorkel gear. We rented 3 sets and 2 of them leaked between the mouth piece and tube. The result was we would choke on salt water every thirty seconds. We stopped using the leaky equipment and just swam, which was too bad because the snorkeling was incredible, truly world class. I tried to get my money back for 2 of 3 snorkels but was told we could not get our money back because we had rented it. I was very disappointed in the snorkle gear. I highly recommend the boat trip, just bring your own snorkel gear.

100% recommended - Excellent tour. They gave us very good service. They arrived for us on time, we saw whales from the boat and the snorkeling was very good. We had a private guide who showed us the animals and took pictures of us. Excellent food too. Besides it's private, we were able to go at our own pace

Totally worth it! - I splurged and did this private boat tour solo, and it was fantastic. It was such a treat to have the boat all to myself, and go and do whatever I wanted to do. I was taken care of the entire day, including when we were on land to snorkel and have lunch. Aside from The countless fish, we also saw a huge school of manta rays, turtles, and 2 humpback whales. If you have a specific bay or snorkel area you want to go, just make sure you ask, they seemed to want to curate the day to however you want. My guide didn’t speak a lot of English but that was ok, I was there to simply take it all in myself. He was lovely, and paid attention to what was interesting me. If you have the ability to do this private experience, you won’t be disappointed!

Fun snorkelling trip - Diego was a great guide. Excellent. Almost a private tour as only 2 of us on the boat and he allowed us to snorkel where we wanted. Shorter trip than we anticipated and I think we only did 5 of the bays, we were back at dock by 1pm.

Bad attitude of the guide - The guide of the boat (Esteban) had a terrible attitude, did not explain anything and did not want to take us to see the whales and dolphins approaching.
