We went were in Guanacaste for our honeymoon and booked a private half day deep sea fishing on the 32 foot mako with Almaco Diving & Tours. We corresponded and booked the trip with them in advance and they were always prompt in answering our questions and requests. The company came by our condo and put directions on the door... More

Most memorable day on the water ever. Incredible experience. Great team that is eager to please and highly knowledgeable. Sea turtles , Devil Rays, Sardine swirls, tubing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and yes, fishing. The look on my 10 tear-old's face as he pulled up a small tuna was worth the trip alone, and that was in Hour One. If you... More

During a two week visit, we took 2 full one day trips with Miguel and team. Both days were very different and both fantastic. Whatever you want to do in and around the water and beaches can be done on their boats with their equipment. Snorkling, scuba diving, whale watching, picnics, etc. Great lunches on the beach. Ask for the... More

This was so much more than expected. Private trip is worth the money. Great safe boat, expert staff, beautiful sights, personalized for you. That is not to mention the fresh lunch cooked on the beach and served in a 5 star restaurant style. We were amazed at the ease to see life. Miguel and his guys are top notch !!!... More

We had an amazing experience with Miguel and his fabulous crew. They pay particular attention to detail and will spend every moment making sure that your day is one that you will remember. We experienced Whales breaching so close that I feared they might get under our boat. Words can't describe it. We snorkeled in a beautiful lagoon before they... More

I know that my title sounds extreme, but I truly mean it. I have traveled to over thirty countries in the world and have never had a better time with my friends and family than I have with Miguel and his crew. In fact, we have now done the full day excursion with them three times and each time it... More

Miguel and his staff went out of their way to make our group feel like family. The private picnic on the a remote beach was relaxing, the food was delicious, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. The wildlife (dolphins, 2 whales, sea turtles) and the snorkling was just amazing. Miguel made all of us feel as if we have known... More

Can't say enough about the wonderful day we spent on the water with Miguel. He is extremely knowledgeable of the area and very personable. Went to a private beach, cave and clifftop viewing area. He made sure we were able to experience whatever marine life was in our vicinity.

We have taken a total of six two-tank morning dives with Miguel Someillan, the owner of Almaco Diving. Our first year, Miguel and his divemaster, Felipe, accommodated our motley crew: one first-time diver for a Discover Scuba experience, another for his open water checkout dives, another for her first ocean dives after getting certified in a lake, and a fourth...

We recently visited Costa Rica for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and Miguel and the staff at Almaco Diving and Tours took the whole family out for a snorkling, beach playing picnic adventure. First they picked us up in two boats at the beach closest to our house. Then we set out for a private beach area and on the... More
