The best time! - Andrés (I think I’m in love?!?) created such a wonderful environment and we all had the best time. Very chill vibes and super knowledgeable, it’s clear he loves his home and teaching others about it as well. Great day on the water! Highly recommend!

I had low expectations... - I had low expectations going into this experience as I am not the biggest fan of snorkeling (though I love the ocean). However, this experience exceeded my expectations. Andres, our guide, was very welcoming. We got the meeting pointing in the morning and the transition from the shuttle to the boat was very quick and smooth. About a 20 min bus ride from the main town and a 10 min walk through a cute beach town to our boat. We saw hundreds of fish while snorkeling (it was actually incredible how close they get to you and you don't even notice). We had a big group so we ate up some time getting in and out of the water, but honestly 30-40 of snorkeling is all you need. The water was also a perfect temperature even for February. After, Andres got us a table at a local beach join for margaritas and tacos. Great experience overall! Just wanted more!

Above and beyond! - Andres & Charlie were fantastic! We heard from others who went out with different outfitters that they weren’t seeing fish. They made sure we saw a lot of fish! Fun and informative! Andres went above and beyond to help me when I accidentally left my phone on a ledge at the pickup point. Facilitating all of the conversations to see that I got it back upon returning hours later. Says ALOT about the character of their people! Forever grateful!

Our tour guide Andreas... - Our tour guide Andreas was at the bus to meet us at the designated time and the designated place. It was easy for the taxi drivers to find one thing I wish we would’ve known about was we would’ve brought our own water had we known it was not supplied? The bus ride to Miss Maloa Beach was fine. It was not crowded and it was a city bus. We were then taken to the beach and guided onto our boat where we had a great lesson on the national los Arcos Park. It was a beautiful day and Andreas was so informative. I highly recommend this tour.
