Awesome day off fishing and snorkeling! - Incredible day off fishing and snorkeling!!! My family of three had the best day of our trip to Costa Rica with Pura Vida Snorkeling. My ten year old son caught his first fish in the ocean, a good sized bonito and I caught a huge Cubera!

Viator doesn’t take responsibility - Viator did not confirm our booking and took no responsibility for the lack of confirmation. Luckily I was able to talk to the operator and remedy myself. Viator could care less about fixing the problem. They passed the buck to the operator and took no responsibility even thought they issued the tickets. No help at all. They only offered a refund. Inconvenient at 7am in the morning. Operator was great and helped fix the problem.

We loved it! - We didn’t get on the fish but we saw a whale breach, a flying ray and the snorkeling spot was amazing! Great guide, very kind, patient and knowledgeable on the area. We’d definitely recommend to those who want done fishing and some time in the water!

Fishing - Goliath Grouper and Snorkeling - Frank and his wife did a fantastic job. We were communicated with frequently and our whole family of 9 had the most incredible time. I highly recommend them.

Costa Rica March 2025 - Capt Frank and deckhand Carlos aka Charlie were great! Super friendly guys. We hoped to have caught fish, specifically a roosterfish. But no luck 😢 We then hopped in water and were given noodles for floating for about 20 minutes. Then attempted to fish one last time. But the winds picked up, we ran out of beer and cut the trip short.

Mismanagement of reservations - I booked the day before, I received the booking slip and we were informed last minute that we did not have the quota, because they received reservations through several platforms had not noticed. We reached the meeting point and it was a very bad surprise.
