Fun and relaxing, would go again in a heartbeat - We loved everything about this excursion. The pickup and drop off at our hotel was smooth, the staff had everything planned and communicated very well. The water was beautiful and Playa Fantasia was amazing. Our kids rode on the banana boat and tested out paddle boarding. The lunch was delicious and the bartender was very attentive. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful outing! - What a fantastic day! We had 10 people on our boat. It was like a private tour. The drinks were great and the food was phenomenal. The best part of the trip was the service. We were picked up on time and driven directly to the boat. The captain and his first mates were very attentive. We saw a mama and baby humpback whale! We swam and boogie boarded at the beautiful beach, they also had paddle boards available. We were the only people at this beach. You can do a little hike, or just relax in the beach chairs provided. This trip was one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica!

Highly recommend!! - This trip far exceeded our expectations! The crew was amazing, the beach was lovely, lunch and drinks were delicious, and so many more little things that were done to make it fun! Could not recommend more. I wish we could do this everyday in Jacó. My only complaint is that there wasn’t more time!!

Amazing day! Don’t miss! - Crew was FABULOUS. Scenery was beautiful- they take you to a private white sand beach, offer swimming, snorkeling, boogie boarding, paddle boarding, unlimited drinks, accommodate dietary restrictions and provide an all around amazing day. If you go in rainy season expect big waves on the return. Captain skillfully navigated 8-10 foot waves on return trip which was an exciting experience for those who love boating. The beach was private so we were the only people there- lounge chairs available for everyone.

Heaven - Simply amazing! Playa Fantasia is the beach dreams are made of. The crew was fantastic and treated us with such kindness and care. We appreciated the intimate setting with only our boat full of travelers on the beach. If you are on the fence on this one, just do it!

Playa Fantasia - Fantastic crew, food that's on point, and a beach that's pure bliss. This tour is a dream come true. The captain takes safety seriously, but don't worry, the fun and enjoyment of all the beach and beach toys make for an unforgettable day! I wish I had time to go again!

Playa Fantasía family tour - Good tour to private beach. Very attentive crew. Drinks, fruit and snacks always available. The lunch was delicious. Due to some strong waves we didn’t snorkel and banana boat not available. Our teens played volleyball, used the boogie boards, we all swam in ocean and hiked on beach. On way back, our teens got to jump from top of boat to ocean, which they loved.
