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.

It was so awesome!! We got lucky and watched an Olive Ridley turtle dig a hole and lay her eggs! The guides were pretty amazing and super knowledgeable! Alex took us right to her and let us watch to the end when she found her way back to the ocean! Amazing! I loved this tour!

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.

Such a great day! Excellent crew, service with a smile. Saw whales and sea turtles. Would do again for sure!
