Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Guillermo took us out on a fantastic half day adventure. We went snorkelling with his deckhand Hymen and saw stingrays, octopus and many fish. We also explored a cave and saw a great view of the area from a beautiful lookout. We even fished and caught 4 barracuda, a blue runner and a Jack fish. They prepared sashimi, and ceviche with the fish we caught on the way back to shore and it was delicious. The fresh fruit topped it all off. Before heading back the tide was high enough and we were able to go through the mangroves. The capuchin monkeys were all over and very intrigued by the boat. They came right up to the waters edge. Definitely a highlight. To sum it all up, I would say that Guillermo’s 25 years experience shows in the tour and service he provides. It was a fantastic day, especially for the price. I will be definitely be recommending him and his company.

We loved the four hour boat tour!! The guides took such great care care of us. We saw humpback whales, rays, sea turtles, and pelicans. The snorkeling was phenomenal and we enjoyed the fresh fruit snack. They also sent us a cool video of our tour on What’s App the next day. We highly recommend Pelicano Sport Fishing!

We went on this tour 6 years ago. When we decided to come back to the area, this tour was the first thing we booked again! Guillermo and his crew are so friendly. The guys made sure that we saw the most while snorkeling and had a great time on the beach exploring the cave and feeding the Coatis. Can’t wait to do it again!! Highly recommend!!!

Avoid this company. We booked them for a four hour tour. An hour into the tour, one of the teenagers manning the boat hit a rock and sheared the propeller. After 45 minutes of waiting in hot sun (we were told we couldn’t swim because of crocodiles), a passing boat towed us to a crowded beach where we were told to snorkel. No fish, but that’s not their fault. What was their fault was zero communication about our problems. I was trying to wave down other boats because I thought, jeez, how will we get home. I speak Spanish so they could have attempted some communication. Back at the beach, the proprietor said it wasn’t his problem. If we wanted any refund, we’d need to get it from the uncommunicative teens. We weren’t going to do that but someone needs to explain the hospitality industry to them. At the very least, a “sorry I made a mistake and hit a rock.” A dismal day in ocotal.

We had a great time fishing, snorkeling, and touring the caves. Levy and Justin were a fantastic crew. Levy cut up one of our catch and made ceviche for lunch on the boat. Justin led us snorkeling and pointed out various animals. He also led us through the caves and up the hill for a breathtaking overlook view. The boat was well equipped.

We went on a half day (5 hour trip) with Guillermo and his crew and it was amazing! We had the boat to ourselves and spent a fabulous five hours exploring the best of the Papagayo Gulf. They were so helpful and friendly, pointing out landmarks and animals for us. We saw dolphins, rays, and sea turtles right at the beginning of our trip on our way to the snorkel site. When snorkeling, one of the crew jumped in the water with us and guided us along the rocks, even diving down to get sea creatures to for us to see/hold including starfish and a pufferfish! Back on the boat we headed to a beautiful beach where they made us ceviche from the fish caught while we were out! Last stop was a quiet ride up a mangrove river where we saw a crocodile! From beginning to end, our trip was fantastic and we are so glad we chose to go out with Guillermo. Highly recommended!!

I went on the boat trip with my husband, our 13 yrs old twins and 2 friends. It was an amazing experience, we all loved it!
We went out with Gabriel (the owner’s son) and his crew.
The trip lasted about 5 hours; we saw many rays jumping out of the water, turtles mating, dolphins swimming just in front of the boat, and we were so lucky to see a whale, slamming the tail on the water… it was incredible!
We also enjoyed the cave and the beautiful beach, the snorkeling, and the fresh ceviche and fruit served on the boat.
The crew was very nice and super friendly.
So happy we choose this boat trip!

Pelicano Sport Fising is a family business, don Guillermo is the owner and he and his wife are usually hosting the clients!
My family and I had an incredible time with Pelicano, renting Kayaks and mostly, going on the boat trip to see the wonders of that bay area next to Ocotal.
The crew made sure we stayed hydrated, they gave us fruits for a half day tour and a ceviche made in place with super fresh seafood!
Highlight: watching the wales, turtles, dolphings hidden beache with caves..
I truly recommend Pelicano

Guillermo and Jaime and Levy gave us the highlight of our trip. We had such an exceptional experience going on the boat with snorkeling and renting a canoe from them. I can’t thank Guillermo enough for sharing the magic of Playa Ocotal with us. Don’t forget to tip your guides:)
