SUP in Quepos - The day we went the ocean water was choppy, or maybe it was always like that, but Javier and Sebastian made it easy to maneuver. They were very attentive making sure everything is alright. We felt bad for not being able to paddle any faster, but it’s ok since we are on vacation, we need to relax. Landing was a little tricky due to the continuous waves. Some of us scraped either knees or toes against to rocks. Beware of the mosquitoes in the late afternoon. All in all, we would do it again with this company when we visit here next time.

Perfect combination of exercise and relaxation! - Our guide, Javier, made the entire experience amazing! From managing all of the details, providing helpful hints and training, to setting up a nice snorkeling opportunity midway through the tour, everything was top notch!

Pura Vida! Wonderful SUP-Tour. - We booked a private SUP-Tour. Our guided was Javier. He was great. We start at the harbor of Quepos and paddled around the corner in direction of Manuel Antonio NP. We did a break at a wonderful beach and a nice waterfall. At the beach Javier show us two sloth and white face monkeys and explain a lot about this animal. All in all it was Pura Vida!

Great time - The experience was beautiful and the ride on the paddle boards was very relaxing. The guides spoke well and were very fun.

Great OCEAN SUP Experience - I brought a group of 22 to SUP with Dante's. The beach was gorgeous, the equipment was great, the guides were helpful. It was a wonderful tour for all involved! Highly recommend!

Great fun and a good teacher - We had a great afternoon with Dante’s and our guide Javier! Good correspondence and pick up from our hotel with a quick drive to the paddle board site in Quepos. Javier was very good at explaining to us the basics as we were novices (sorry it took me five minutes to understand how to hold the paddle) but was very complimentary of us when we weren’t terrible! Javier also took lots of photos of us to prove we stood up. Lovely day out for my friends birthday (and we enjoyed the pineapple on the way home)

SUP for two!! - Dante and James were amazing! We had a private paddle boat experience for two that ended with an amazing sunset right on the water. Dante and James picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel and took care of everything. James is a hilarious guide who will accept all challenges to his athleticism.

Fun staff! - The staff is very accommodating. We were supposed to paddle board on Sunday, but they were honest and told us the water conditions were NOT going to be good for paddle boarding. So, they took us to the beach and let us use their chairs and tent for a few hours...free of charge. Then we got a lot of rain that evening and the next morning, but they contacted us as soon as the weather was better and coordinated our paddle board time. They were very friendly and brought us fresh fruit and water after paddle boarding. They provide transportation directly to and from your hotel, which is great!

Great! - The guides were very kind, encouraging, and understanding. Eric especially was super friendly! It was a great first experience with paddle boarding!

Bare Minimum SUP Experience - I booked this excursion the night before we planned to go, and was pleasantly surprised Dante’s was able to accommodate. However, I wrote in the comments that we wanted 3 paddleboards and 1 kayak, as one member of our party was afraid of trying SUP, but this request was not acknowledged and we ended up with 4 SUPs. Life jackets were not provided despite being listed as one of the items included with this package and despite our persistent request. Our guide Antonio seemed very annoyed with us at this point. He brought us to the small rocky beach on the other side of the cove, and told us to just paddle around to cove for the next 1.5 hours while he sat on the shore. He didn’t lead us anywhere else until we begged him to. I booked Dante’s because it was $15 cheaper than MASS, but for a better experience, just go somewhere else.
