          wonderful moment that I'll treasure
          Spectacular! I was hoping to see dolphins, thinking a pod of 12 maybe. We saw at least a hundred! A large playful pod of pan-tropic spotted dolphins. A wonderful and beautiful experience. They were playful and sociable. Then I saw a Tortuga lora on the way home (olive Ridley turtle) The staff on the boat were knowledgeable and informative. Then we snorkelled and had fresh fruit. Highly recommend.

          Great transport company, safe and comfortable
          He was a nice driver. Easy to find at the airport. He held up a sign with my name. Went on sunset cruise last year. That was nice.

          Witnessed miracles
          Amazing experience! The guided and driver were so friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We had little children with us and no minded that a parent walked back to the van early so they could pass out in their car seats. The walk was short and easy. There was some amount of quiet waiting while a huge mama turtle made her nest, but it was all worth it!

          Disappointed with lack of care for turtles
          Our guide, Alan, was friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver (I'm sorry, I forget his name, was also friendly, and did a great job navigating the difficult road conditions). We were fortunate and saw dozens and dozens of baby turtles, leaving the nest and making their way to the ocean. The reason for the low review is due to the lack of instruction and protocol for tourists to protect the baby turtles. Only one red light flash light was provided per couple. As a result, there were folks walking around without a light. I don't even want to guess how many turtles were stepped on. For the couples that walked together, again, with only one light, visibility was too low to ensure that one didn't trample on the babies. Some of the batteries were low and the lights were dimmer and would turn off occasionally. Please change your procedures for future tours.

          Wonderful hike
          We had a lovely hike with Alex. He had so much information to share with us from birds and butterflies to plants trees and flowers We saw some white faced monkeys and heard the howlers. Alex was able to get some videos on our phones of the monkeys using his telescope. We climbed the mountain for a lovely view of Sámara beach We ended the hike with freshly cut pineapple trees. So delicious.

          Great tour
          The tour was well organized, nice guide. There were only 15 of us on the boat, which gave us plenty of space to take photos. We saw humpback whales, dolphins and sea turtles and were able to go swimming in a quiet bay later. Snorkeling was not possible due to the heavy rain beforehand, but that wasn't a problem. We would definitely do the tour again!

          Wonderful experience in beautiful Samara
          Amazing, well organised trip that allowed us to see humpback whales and lots of dolphins right in front of the boat. The crew was very friendly and fantastic in spotting the whales and dolphins. And we even got picked up from our hotel in Nosara. Highly recommended.

          Beautiful and educational! Would recommend!
          We had a great early morning hike! Our guide Luis was very knowledgeable and had a calm, reassuring energy. He found multiple species of butterflies and birds in his scope and taught us about the wildlife and trees. We also were fortunate to see families of coatis and white faced monkeys! Would recommend going early when it’s cooler and the animals are out. Great excursion!

          Nice outing.
          Tour itself was nice. We saw a few dolphins and then stopped at reef area off Samara beach; guide checked a few places before deciding on this one. I wasn't sure about the conditions but it ended up clearer than expected; not a huge variety of fish but plenty of them. It was my kids' first time snorkeling and they really enjoyed it. Of note: was a little concerned when tour operator didn't show up on time for pick-up; turns out they were at the bottom of the hill rather than coming up to the condo (not sure why) so recommend confirming exact pick-up spot with the company.

          Rough sea
          So we went out today. It’s much different than we were expecting. First weather was not great. Well it was sunny but. Sea was rough. That being said we had so many sick folks on the boat sea sick. And they continued to go extremely fast making the boat even sicker. They did pull into the. Bay Area to swim a bit. Let folks snorkel but they didn’t have fins for the customers. I didn’t find anything about this when researching this tour. No one can control the conditions. But we can control how we work with those conditions

          So. Much. Fun.
          The guides were great. We saw 3 separate whales, sea turtle and more dolphins than you can imagine. My daughter had never been on a boat before and she had an absolute blast. They provide plenty of water, juice, and even beer. The snorkeling was so fun. It was rainy so the water was a little murky, but can't complain about that as no one has any control over it. The snorkeling gear was well taken care of, and to top off the fun trip we had the freshest watermelon and pineapple ever while my daughter spent some time going down the slides off the back of the boat. And the views...nothing like the views. Would definitely do this again.

          Just give it a go...you won't be disappointed.
          HIGHLY recommended. Our guide Bryan was amazing. He took our daughter on her own horse and kept her so comfortable and safe (she's 4 1/2). The views, the knowledge of the horses, the knowledge of the land, all of this excursion was epic. Would do it again in a heartbeat and it was so reasonably priced.

          Perfect morning on the ocean!
          Perfect morning adventure for me and my teen daughter! Kayaking was easy enough for beginners and snorkeling was laid back and fun. We were so excited to be on Chora Island, which we had admired from afar. Guides were professional, knowledgeable, and kind!

          Fantastic Guide, great for the whole family!
          We went on the morning tour. Our guide Alex was the best. Not only was he knowledgeable and great with the adults, but he was so wonderful with my kids. I brought my 7 year old and 3 year old. He taught them about plants and wildlife, it was a fully immersive learning experience. He's appreciation and knowledge of the plants and animals was wonderful. My girls were pointing out plants to me throughout our trip that Alex had taught them about. We saw bats, monkeys, butterflies and birds. The fruit & cold drinks at the end were great.
