WHAT AN AMAZING CREW!! - My family and I had such an amazing day with Captain Frank and Carlos!!! We were taken to two locations so we could snorkel in the Potrero Bay Area. We saw stingray and such a variety of beautiful fish. Frank snorkeled with us at the first location and caught a blowfish for us so we could so it up close and feel it. We had the best pineapple and mango and hand made guacamole as snacks which just added to the experience. To top it off on the way back to the marina they spotted a whale and her calf and followed it for us so we could see them up close. They took such joy in our joy! What an amazing crew!!!

Super snorkeling adventure - Frank and Carlos took us on an excellent snorkeling adventure to Catalina Islands and Playa Danta. They were extremely attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent guides! The snorkeling was a blast. Water was a little rough at Catalina Island, but we still saw some great sea creatures. The refreshments, snacks, fruit and lunch was outstanding. Would highly recommend Pura Vida Snorkeling!

A highlight of our trip to Costa Rica - A great midday snorkeling excursion with Pura Vida Snorkeling. They took us to two beautiful beaches for snorkeling and swimming, but we saw others from the boat. Frank and Carols were great guides, friendly and knowledgeable about the ocean and Guanacaste. A highlight of our visit to Costa Rica!

Fantastic Family Snorkeling Adventure! - We had an amazing day snorkeling with Pura Vida! We're a family of 6 with kids aged 11, 8, 8, and 4, and everything about the trip was fun and family-friendly. Captain Frank was awesome—he kept a close eye on the weather and made the smart call to postpone our trip just a bit so the rain could pass. We're so glad he did! The sun came out, and we had perfect conditions for exploring the water. The crew made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, especially our younger kids, and we saw tons of colorful fish and even a few surprises in the water! It was a memorable, easygoing, and exciting adventure that we’ll all be talking about for a long time. Thank you, Captain Frank and the Pura Vida team, for going the extra mile to make it such a great day!

Great family snorkeling trip! - We had a wonderful time with Frank and Carlos! They were knowledgeable about the fish and wildlife in the area and were patient and kind with our children. We went on a snorkeling adventure where we went to two separate spots and had a nice spread of food and drinks in between. Don't hesitate to book these guys!

Wonderful Private Snorkeling Tour! - What a lovely day snorkeling off Flamingo Beach! Weather was perfect. Our captain, Frank, and snorkeling guide, Carlos, very welcoming and friendly. We went to several snorkeling spots, also did some silly jumps off the top of the boat -- our boys really enjoyed that. The snacks were great, too. The small boat size and private tour were really the best option imaginable.

Fabulous Local Experience - Frank and Carlos did a fabulous job with our group! Frank spent time talking about the local area and was a plethora of information ,while Carlos jumped in the water to show us around and make sure we had the opportunity to see some cool creatures. They were very friendly and welcoming and made sure my family had a good experience. We appreciated the drinks and snacks and I would highly recommend using his service. We appreciated that the boat was for our group only and the experience was catered to what we wanted to do. Many thanks Frank!!!
