Fantastic tour provided by Captain Tom | 2022-12-09 | By Christopher H

Captain Tom approached my wife and I on the beach and engaged us in conversation before offering us his card and explaining the different tours he provides. We decided to select the kayak and snorkelling trip. The highlight of our tour was seeing the wildlife and the sights on the island.
Tom also went out of his way to deliver a chain that I had accidentally left in a dry bag. I would recommend any of Captain Tom’s tours to anyone looking for some adventure/sightseeing in that part of Costa Rica.

Awesome trip!! Luis was amazing and the kayaking was a ton of fun, even in the strong winds we managed to make it. Then when on the island he showed us around the whole place and all the weird sea creepy crawlies! Highly recommend.
