Super snorkel trip - The 2 snorkelling sessions were brilliant and Andrés our guide looked out for us and helped us to see turtles, sharks and rays as well as lots of fish. There were also divers on the trip and everything was well-organised and felt safe for the snorkellers and the divers with a helpful crew who clearly knew what they were doing. Our equipment was provided and worked well and there was fruit, biscuits and water. The water was really clear and we had a super time.

Fabulous Snorkeling - What a fabulous snorkeling trip. We went on a boat with a few divers and a few snorkelers. Both had guides. The snorkeling excursion was super. We saw lots of variety of fish, some Eagle Rays and some sharks. The guide was super. It was quite a bit of swimming but so much fun. Hope to do it again next year. Boat was clean and spacious.

Incredible diving!!! - You can not find a better group of dive guides in Tamarindo!! There is so much wildlife to see out in the Catalinas islands too -- I did 10 dives with this group and wish I could've done 20. Don't miss out on this great diving spot with the best people!!

Excellent Diving Experience - We dove Las Catalinas with Davide and his team. They were really superb. Divemasters were all safe, kind and added in some great humor. I highly recommend going with him and his crew. The sea life was great including diving with a Manta Ray.

Highly recommend - We highly recommend these guys. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. We felt safe and had the best time. We had our 7 year old granddaughter and the instructor was so kind and patient with her. She had the time of her little life. It was an incredible experience!

Half Day Snorkeling - My wife and I had a great snorkeling experience. We saw tons and tons of all kinds of fish. We even saw a bull shark. Our guide Lucas was awesome. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable. Overall great experience.

Great experience - The tour operators are very nice and helpful people. We had booked the tour for a wrong day but they let us come on a different day with any penalty. The boat ride was really nice and the whole experience was great. The weather wasn’t so great so the water was very hazy and turbulent but the operator still tried very hard for us to have good experience. We saw fishes and my daughter saw manta ray and some people saw baby shark. So i am thinking if the weather is good this is a 5 star.

Not a snorkeling-focused trip - This was a scuba diving-focused tour, the snorkeling was a side gig. My family and I snorkeled and the staff was very friendly and helpful, but the snorkeling we did was less than desirable, and was not worth spending 2 hours driving there and back in a boat. More time was spent driving in the boat than snorkeling.
