Playa Flamingo Catamaran Tour With Snorkel, Lunch, Cocktails

This has been our FAVORITE excursion in Costa Rica! We celebrated our 4 year olds birthday during this excursion; the music was lively and well picked, the hosts were INCREDIBLE and the food was fantastic! we were able to see whales of all sorts just on the way out to the snorkeling spot. Our guide also showed us all of the islands, rock formations and tons of information about the wildlife. This trip was great for our four year old, they had appropriate gear so that we could all snorkel together. We used the slide, jumping platform and the floating mat to fill the remaining time after snorkeling - never a dull moment. The lunch was great and healthy! The Costa Rica sauce was spectacular! We ended the day with limbo and a conga line around the boat. To top it off the guides took some really great photos of our family. Lastly to be noted the lovely chef held a family’s 3 month old, the whole time she slept, while the family got to enjoy snorkeling together with their older daughter - talk about customer service! We WILL be doing this tour again!!

Had a great time , very attentive, good food and drinks. What can I say. These guys are top notch. We didn’t see many fish due to the windy conditions. Oh well, Mother Nature. Check em out.

Amazing. Do not skip this tour!!

Great staff! We had a good time on our girls trip! Really good food.

I went with my family which included my 8 and 6 year old daughters. The crew was amazing and had fun activities for the kids. Highly recommend for any trip to Playa Flamingo.

A great experience for everyone in our family, ages 10 to 80. Plenty of shaded seating, easy on and off, great guides that made it very fun. The snorkeling was pretty good, the food delicious, and things were timed to a science so we could have a magnificent sunset. Would recommend for anyone!

This catamaran cruise was so well planned out, organized, with such great communication from the crew. Booking felt secure through Pacifica Vacations. Flamingo in general is a lovely marina and loading onto the boat directly from the dock was a plus. I’ve taken a similar cruise from Tamarindo beach, and we had to get on a speed boat through waves at high tide and that was tough. I actually got seasick from that, before even loading onto the catamaran. So I was apprehensive about another sunset cruise but the family was pushing for it. I’m so grateful that I chose Planet Dolphin on the Tom Cat 2. I had zero issues with nausea and it was honestly a perfect way to spend our last day in Costa Rica. The crew (led by Emilio) was great about telling us exactly where we are going. They pointed out geography, history, wildlife, but also always making it clear about the itinerary, schedule, duration of stay. They really made safety a priority, which is always a concern when you get on a boat for hours! After about an hour cruise, during which we saw many sea turtles, flying fish, birds, we got to a cove where other boats were docked and anchored there for about 2 hours. There we snorkeled, went down the slide, some kids jumped off the top, or some just dipped in the water. Then lunch was served which was so delicious. We headed back after that. Vibes were great, music and drinks were flowing. And we were so lucky to spot a group of dolphins! Sunset was perfect. Everyone had a great time and it was truly perfect.

We had an amazing time on this catamaran tour and would absolutely recommend it! The staff on board was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. They made sure everyone was comfortable, having fun, and went out of their way to create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. This tour was also very kid friendly. We traveled with our children, and they had a wonderful time. The crew was patient and kind with them, making it a great experience for the whole family. One of the biggest highlights was seeing a humpback whale in the wild, it was absolutely unforgettable! We also enjoyed snorkeling, dancing with the crew and other guests, and taking in the beautiful scenery along the coast. The drinks kept flowing, the food was fresh and delicious, and everything was very well organized. If you’re looking for a fun day on the water with excellent service, great food, family friendly vibes, and the chance to see incredible wildlife, this is definitely the tour to book. We would happily do it again!

People were so nice. Good food. Everybody sang and danced and we had so much fun. Snorkels were in good shape. We saw urchins random fish and pufferfish. Fun slide. They let you jump of the boat. Very fun. Safe too. We walked to were the pick you up and drop you off. They help you off the boat too. Also very pretty. Would definitely come again😄 5 stars!!!!!!!! 🌟

snorkeling and seeing the sunset was my favorite parts of this cruise. overall it was a great experience with all inclusive drinks and food. staff was very kind and polite and were energetic for the entire 4 hours of this excursion. would highly recommend for families or even going by yourself.

Simply the most amazing tour my family has ever done! Perfect in every sense of the word!

Very entertaining guides, delicious food, great snorkeling, jumping, and slide experience! Salsa and other dancing at end with a beautiful sunset. Well worth the price.

We were a group of 4 families and we had a great time. The guides, captain, and chefs all worked together to make our experience memorable and the tour run smoothly. Our main guide was Austin. He was energetic and did a wonderful job of guiding us through the activities of the day. He helped take beautiful photos of our family. The food was delicious that my son even got seconds. We had low visibility but the snorkeling was still fun. Thanks for a great evening.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible time on the Flamingo Guanacaste All-Inclusive Catamaran tour! From start to finish, the entire crew made the experience unforgettable. A huge thank you to Eric, Emilio, Tony, Carolina, and the two Diego’s for being so welcoming, attentive, and fun throughout the day. The snorkeling was fantastic, the catamaran was beautiful and comfortable, and the crew made sure everyone felt safe while still having an amazing time. The drinks, music, and stunning views made for the perfect day on the water. A special thank you to Carolina for preparing such a delicious lunch. We enjoyed flavorful chicken skewers, pasta salad, fresh-cut pineapple, and watermelon it was fresh, satisfying, and the perfect meal after snorkeling. Thank you, Eric, Emilio, Tony, Carolina, and the two Diego’s, for your outstanding hospitality and positive energy. If you’re visiting Guanacaste, this tour is an absolute must. We would do it again in a heartbeat! 🌊☀️🐠

It was so much fun. The staff was awesome and the food was very good. I would totally book them again.

Great trip and great crew! They did a great job taking us snorkeling, feeding us, and we saw dolphins.

Great crew, food is amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great experience!!! A beautiful view of sunset

Wonderful dinner and a really great experience with our family! We got to see a big school of spotted dolphins! They came right by the boat and there were even babies. The snorkeling wasn’t the best, since it was kinda murky and there wasn’t a lot of fish but the the trip was still great. The dancing was so much fun with Austin!

Austin and the team are amazing!!

Very fun, even if raining! Would definitely book again

The crew - Erin, Diego, Captain Tony, Chefs Carolina and Tony and lead, Austin - did a wonderful job leading us, feeding and entertaining us. Family ages 3-72 had a blast!

My family of 4 took this on our second day in Costa Rica. It was a great way to start the trip. We were able to see dolphins, birds, a pelican, snorkel, use the waterslide, and float beds. My kids were 5 and 7 and loved the waterslide! And I loved that even though it was high, my younger child was allowed to use it. I appreciated that the tour operators trusted the parents' judgement on swim abilities so that any kid who wanted to participate could. The high platform jump was intense, but my 7 year old did it about 10 times and loved it. On the way back, the tour emcee tried to get everyone dancing. Most people were not too interested, but I appreciated that he continued with the lessons even though it was really only my son participating. Food was good. Drinks were easy to access with lots of fun fruit juices for kids to try.

Thank you guys!! My family and I had a wonderful time! We’ll definitely be coming again

Amazing trip, happy moments. I loved this country

Best catamaran tour ever! Tje snorkeling and slide were SO fun!! Food wad amazing! We felt safe and well taken care of. I higlt recommend this tour!!!

Had an awesome time they really get u involved

Great family friendly excursion with attentive and fun staff! My family had a wonderful afternoon.

Amazing experience, the snorkeling was fun and very good food.

It was absolutely perfect! Exactly what we needed!

If your goal is snorkeling this is not your tour. Snorkeling was supposed to last 1.5hrs and it did not. That being said, the food was great. The crew was great. If it wasn’t advertised as snorkeling i would have given it a perfect score. We paid for snorkeling and barely got it but did have a good time.

This was a really fun afternoon. The price was great for the time we had on the wayer. The boat was well equipped, the crowd was fun and not too big. The awesome crew kept our bellies full with food and drink, and the dj kept us dancing. Great time for folks getting out on the water.

Highly recommend this - Good for the family and also for Couples

Very nice vibe… Great staff, let’s go great food, great time all in all, really a nice day.

The hosts were all fantastic. Spoke English. Provided great experience. Would highly recommend for families

Food and drinks on board with music. Unable to snorkel because of weather but we were able to swim, slide and jump. Nice team!
