What people are saying about Guanacaste

A must! The guides are so friendly and fun. A shuttle picked us up right on time. We took a small boat to the catamaran and had a leisure ride out to a cove for snorkeling. On the way there we saw a sea turtle, and on the way back we saw dolphins. It was amazing! Drinks were available the whole time, and they prepared a great taco dinner.

I was a complete novice and a bit nervous! Yassi my instructor was very patient and explained everything clearly in the pool lesson so I was ready for the two dives. I struggled with equalising my ears with the pressure but yassi stayed with me. Eventually we got to the bottom for 2 dives which were excellent. Highly recommend!

It was fantastic! There were 9 of us, 6 adults and three children, 4,6 and 9. The crew was very attentive and lunch was delicious. It is a beautiful way to see the amazing coast. Thank you Dream Chaser for this opportunity!

It was fun the staff were very accommodating and vigilant with safety and showing marine life (dolphins). Had an amazing time, it was a great way to spend an afternoon in tamarindo.

We felt so comfortable on this tour. The drivers and guides are so friendly! We saw all kinds of birds, the white faced capuchin monkey, iguanas, and crocodiles!
