This is a highly recommended trip. The whole reason I decided to do this with our group was because of the reviews. We had suchhh a blast. The crew took care of us the whole time. Super friendly. We met other people on the boat, had drinks and snacks and did some swimming, snorkeling, kayaking. Side note: they mentinon lunch... more

My best girlfriend and I visited Tamarindo in 2005 and went on the snorkeling tour with Blue Dolphin Tours. I really can't say enough good things about this tour and company. The staff blends professionalism with the laid-back pura vida lifestyle that one wants when in Costa Rica. The boat was gorgeous and there are nets for sunbathing on the... more

We went on a half day trip February 2007. It was the highlight of my first trip to Tamarindo. We are going back February 2008 with a big group and I can't wait to take another Blue Dolphin tour! The staff is friendly and helpful. The service was great! more

What a great time! My husband and I scheduled the sunset cruise and loved it. The crew provided snacks and drinks for everybody, and the view while on the boat is worth the cost. They took us along the coast (saw a sea turtle), and then anchored in a cove for everybody to snorkel, kayak, and swim. Most people swam... more

Jump on a dinghy on shore to a big catamaran steered by 'El Capitan' Charlie and deckhand Carlos. What a smooth ride. What an awesome time. My girlfriend and I enjoyed this a lot. We got to relax, stare out into the sun, ocean, countryside. Plenty of food not as much as beer and liquor but who's counting. Great tunes,... more

My friend and I were down in Tamarindo for a week and we fit a lot in while we were there: kayaking, golfing, surfing lessons, etc. Everything was fun, but the sailing on the Blue Dolphin II was the best part of the whole week. The captain and crew took care of everything: they kept us informed about what we'd... more

We had heard good things about this excursion and we were not dissappointed! The boat, crew, and overall service was top notch. The sail to and from our snorkling destination offered beautiful views of the Tamarindo shoreline. The snorkling was very good and those who did not wish to see the fish had an easy swim to the secluded beach.... more

My trip to Costa Rica was full of wonderful surprises. None being more fun than sail we took on the Blue Dolphin. The service food and company was superior. Peaceful and social at the same time. I hope to go back again...soon. Kudos to Cap'n Jeff and his wife Jen. They put on a good show! more

I have visited Costa Rica numerous times and one of my most favorite activities is sailing on Blue Dolphin. The sunset/snorkel trip is the best...amazing scenery, glorious sunsets, food and drink, fun, fun, fun. And always something different to see (sting rays, dolphins and on my last trip, two humpback whales, a mama and baby). The highly professional crew makes... more
