What people are saying about Puntarenas

The tour was really nice and our guide as well, we got to spend 5 hours on the island after seeing many dolphins on the way and also got to see a beautiful sunset on the way back! Although the snorkelling part was not the best as the water is not clear but you can see a few fishes:)

We were fortunate to be the only ones on the tour, and our driver Enrique stopped along the way to show us all sorts of plants, from cinnamon to menthol. Our trail guide Cesar was also great, and we had a really nice ride. It was one of the best excursions we’ve been on!

Wonderful trip with beautiful views. You could do Kayaking and a couple of things o. The island and have a beautiful view on the Pacific Ocean.

Great experience with Fernando! Wonderful time swimming in the waterfall, hanging out in the hot springs while it poured and delicious food!

Inside tours an excellent operator, I loved the beach and our guide helped us a lot thanks for such kindness
