Must do! - Such a fun and relaxing day in the beach! 10/10 recommend!! Our tour guide was so sweet and so informative, he even brought fresh pineapple and cut it for us and cracked coconuts for us to drink! He brought bananas and we hand fed monkeys, we spent time on the beach with chairs and hammocks, he taught us to paddle board and we went out and swam! Then Hiked over to another beautiful beach! 100% recommend

Ronaldo was a great guide... - Ronaldo was a great guide and made the most of our day despite the high tides. Would highly recommend going on this excursion. A couple others we did were all day so having this 2-3 hour option was perfect. Hiking was easy.

Pura Vida! - Rolando is very nice and accommodating. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to this beautiful white sand beach. We snorkeled and then he had coconut water from coconuts and fresh pineapple and watermelon for us to enjoy.
Would recommend this tour to get off the beaten path. Beach was secluded and not many people know about it.

It was a great... - It was a great experience, the best snorkeling I've done in Costa Rica! Rolando was a great communicator and helped us be prepared for the day. He was attentive to everyone in our group. One of us missed going the first round because his young daughter decided she would rather play at the beach, so Rolando offered to go out again to make sure we all got the experience.

Amazing day! - Amazing snorkeling white sand beach spot. Not crowded at all. so many different fish to see. Snorkel gear provided but due to shallow area no fins needed. The fresh coconut water and fresh fruit was a wonderful touch. Rolondo was a fantastic host to this great day. Sunset with monkeys was icing on the cake!

Rolando is an excellent... - Rolando is an excellent tour guide. There are no guarantees for wildlife, and we hadn’t seen a sloth or monkey on our hike, so he detoured on the return drive and found us a sloth..
