Everything about my stay was absolutely wonderful. I plan on coming back. Very soon. The food, the people and the country is absolutely beautiful.

We had such a great time! Percy our tour guide and his team were absolutely amazing! Percy was so knowledgeable, he took the time to learn everyone’s name, something about them and actually remembered. The bus was very nice and comfortable, boat ride to the island was great, we made a few stops at other islands to see some pretty cool stuff. Snorkeling was great, lunch and snacks were delicious. We stayed the perfect amount of time on the island, there was plenty todo. Would definitely recommend.

Our trip was well-coordinated and wonderfully relaxing. Our tour guide, Jorge, proved to be incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout. We were particularly impressed when we discovered that my boyfriend had left his belongings on the bus. Jorge efficiently coordinated with another tour guide, Nela, who also worked for the same company, to ensure we were reunited with our items.

The experience itself was great! Our guide (woman) was super friendly and helpful and informative and overall great! However please be AWARE! The tour company itself does have a lack of communication in regards to pick up time details. Friday was my trip, so Thursday morning I reached out to the company for details on time because I haven’t heard from them previously. They informed me they would notify me in the afternoon. It was now 5-6pm and still haven’t heard anything. So unfortunately I was in a hard sticky place and reached out to customer service trip advisor and they reached out to the company and less than an hour the company finally provided me the time details…that’s all I wanted. But had I not reached out to trip advisor customer service, I truly don’t know if I would’ve gotten a response back from tour company.

The tour leaves VERY early but I think we were the second group to arrive at the island out of many, which was nice to have plenty of chairs to choose from and some time to swim before it got busy. The bus was the nicest bus I’ve ever been in which made the 2 hour ride comfortable. We stopped at a really nice place for breakfast (you pay) that offered many options and a huge souvenir store. When we got closer to Puntarenas our guide told us more about the area including local agriculture. The boat to the island was one of the nicer ones of all the tour boats I saw later arriving at the island, and provided life jackets which many other tour boats didn’t. They provided fruit as a snack and a typical Costa Rican lunch that was good. The beach was very nice and generally clean, there are some rocks in the water to watch out for. During the 20 minute snorkeling session, I saw about 10 different types of fish and some sea urchins. Things that cost extra on this tour are: breakfast, Special drinks on the island, it costs $1 each time to use the bathroom on the island, lounge chairs are $10/chair/day. Overall a very comfortable ride, enjoyable tour with good tour guide, and 5 hours at the beach. Overall tour ran from 4:45 am until 5 pm. I would definitely recommend it for those who want a beach day but need transportation from San Jose!
