Fun and relaxing! - Excellent relaxing experience! The crew was fun and professional and offered great options once we got to our private little spot. The price was so reasonable for an afternoon on the water with gorgeous views and friendly people.

Tons of fun! Will do again. - My family LOVED the Blue Dolphin Catamaran tour from Tamarindo. Beautiful boat ride. When we stopped everyone enjoyed the water activities. Snorkeling was great! Lots of other activities for in the water. Food was really good, lots of beverage options and great music. Everyone had fun! We will do this catamaran again when we’re in town!!

Great Service and even better time. - The staff was friendly! We both had a great time — the sunset cruise is a must book! If you’re on the fence about booking, it is very worth it!

The Best Sunset Catamaran Tour - It was a great evening sunset catamaran trip. The staff were professional, friendly and lots of fun. The food was delicious. The snorkeling was a lot of fun, I saw a lot of fish. There was a lot of dancing, we had a great time. We ended it off with the most beautiful sunset. Thank you for the great tour.

Staff dedicated to giving you the best day - Now this is a company that highly prides itself on top quality service, they totally dedicate themselves to ensuring that you all have the best time. From the moment we were met at the beach everything was regularly explained to the group. The boat was not overcrowded so you could easily choose between sun or shade. The staff were regularly topping up our drinks and the food was great! It felt really relaxed throughout and we got a beautiful sunset. Great retro playlist too!

Sunset Cruise and party! - We had an amazing time on our sunset cruise. The crew was friendly, the food and drink was delicious and the playlist added some variety. One thing I would be aware of is that if you choose to cancel, they do not give you back your transaction fees even though they say full refund. They also charge your card when you book versus a few days before. This took me by surprise. Other than that our wedding party of 23 had a great time

relaxing day - day relaxing at sea with swimming and diving break, unlimited drink and meals on board. A little expensive but exotic. no dolphin or turtles but a nice sunset. Part of the bridge protected from the sun but the music is loud, meal on the catamaran nets in the late afternoon very pleasant

Thank you, next. - I don't want to be mean... but this is not it. Giant waves getting on the dingy, it was full and no one helping, or moving. I fell off the side and skinned up my knee. Operators feet were not sanitary looking at all, felt yuck laying and touching where the warts and fungus had been. No visibility snorkeling, and didn't see a single fish or creature anywhere.
