They put the “fun” in Fun in the Ocean tour! - This tour exceeded my expectations. We did a 4hr private fun on the ocean boat tour with Jordan and Ronald. We started the day fishing, then tubing, visiting a beach and cave, snorkeling, and then sightseeing in between. We also started with a serving of fresh fruit too. The guides were both knowledgeable and personable and were able to tailor our tour to accommodate everyone, ages 10-70. They took lots of pictures for us and while snorkeling we saw plenty of puffer fish, two massive sea turtles and an octopus. The boat was well stocked with snacks and drinks and after snorkeling, the guides made us pico de gallo, guacamole, and some other amazing snacks. It was a great day. Pura Vida!

Best experience! - We had the best experience on the boat with Wilbur and Ronald. They took us snorkeling, fishing, tubing and to the cave for the most gorgeous pictures. The end was truly magical when we got to experience sunset together. They made us feel so welcome and fed us so many snacks and took lots of photos of us. We loved it and highly recommend this duo!!!

Jordi and Lenny: amazing hosts - Jordi and Lenny took us out on the Racoon boat and were amazing hosts; we had so much fun tubing, wake boarding, cruising through the mangrove area, checking out crocodiles and the sunset while eating delicious snacks. Pura Vida!

Wonderful tailored boat adventure - One of the best boat trips we have been on. We loved that we were the only ones on the boat (Ravcoon). Jordy tailored the trip to us - fishing, tubing and snorkeling. We loved that they fed us the fish that we caught. All the food was so fresh and spectacular.

Best day of the trip!! - The crew made for a super fun day on the water. Everyone loved the boat and the activities. We fished briefly ( see photos), jet skied, and had a blast. Thanks to the terrific Captain and crew who made this trip memorable.

The best ocean based excursion option in the Guanacaste region - We own a home in Playa Hermosa and spend time there throughout the year. I’ve lost count of how many times we have gone on fishing, surfing, or other ocean based excursions with GoSouth. They are amazing people who know the area and love to share their knowledge with others. Walter, Rebecca, Josue and all of the GoSouth team are top notch.

Awesome fun day at the ocean tour! - This is our 3rd year in a row going out with GoSouth on the fun in the ocean tour! We have 2 young boys (7&8 now during this trip). The staff are amazing, very easy to get in contact with through instagram, WhatsApp or email. All of the guides that we have had out on the boats have been top notch. We have gone cruising, beach hopping, tubing, snorkeling, fishing, skiing. Really anything you want! They serve super yummy snacks (fresh fruit, guacamole, salsa, and bean dip) and drinks (beer/wine and soft drinks). I love going out with this group because they are so nice and accommodating and know exactly what they are doing. Great with kids too! Can’t wait until next year!! We saw whales this year super close which was so cool! One of my sons has declared that he only goes tubing with gosouth in Costa Rica 😃.

Such a fun day! - Eddy and his captain were amazing! We were able to see dolphins, humpback whales, caves, snorkelling and tubing. They were knowledgeable and were great with our kids (15 and 11). The lunch was perfect and was exactly what we needed after all of our activities. I’d highly recommend doing this tour!

Best day on the water - We had 3 moms and 3 teenage daughters. They picked us up right on the beach of our hotel and were friendly and helpful the entire day. They asked us what all we wanted to do and accommodated our every request. We went up the river and saw the mangroves and parrots, we went to the caves, we snorkeled and wakeboarded. They had fresh fruit nd rinks for us as well as a nice fresh grilled lunch. Eddie was the mate and he was amazing, he helped us all day and entertained us with jokes nd fun local trivia. Anoldo, the captain, was great as well. It got a little rough in the afternoon and he managed the waves and kept us dry. Take the trip! It is worth it.
