Perfect Saturday morning trip - This was a very enjoyable tour: perfect length 4 hrs, beautiful scenery of the Golfo Dulce, and so many dolphins bouncing joyfully around us. David the tour guide was very knowledgeable and loved sharing his knowledge and experience with us. We saw no whales, this is not their season, however the dolphins more than made up for them. Snorkeling spot was in a beautiful bay with crystal clear waters. Delicious Costa Rican fresh fruit the crew provided for us hit the spot. Just perfect!

Perfect intro to Golfo Dulce - David and Arturo not only provided an enjoyable opportunity to see the Gulf and two different schools of dolphins, but a great education on the history and region as well.

Knowledgeable guide - Great trip with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Saw lots of dolphins. Low visibility meant fewer fish to see but did see a few moray eels. Booking was easy. Recommended.

Fantastic tour! - Fantastic tour! Very friendly and knowledgeable guides. It ended up being just me and my fiancé on the boat so felt like a private tour! We very extremely close to many dolphins! Even saw baby’s. The water was so clear you could see their faces. Snorkelling was great fun also!

Dolphin & Snorkel Tour - I 100% recommend this tour and with this group. Our captain was excellent and our onboard marine biologist was full of information. We had a great experience with a Bottlenose Dolphin and saw amazing fish while snorkeling. Our guide even found a large sting ray!

An amazing 4 hours in the Golfo Dulce - The tour was top notch with a knowledgeable guide who went over and above so that we were able to see a mama whale and her calf. We also saw dolphins up close and learned about their lives. Anyone who wanted to fish was able to catch a tuna and they even cleaned the fish for us at the end of the tour. Perhaps the most exciting was snorkeling where we were able to hear whale songs underneath the water. A great value and a morning well spent.

10/10 tour! - Great tour! We got to see a huge group of bottlenose dolphins and a humpback whale mother with her calf. The tour guides work in wildlife conservation and research, so they were very knowledgeable. We also snorkelled off the coast of Corcovado national park, where we saw birds like toucans too. They included a packed fruit cup for everyone plus water. We also got to catch our own wild tuna. 10/10!
