We had such a great day with Livie and Alex. Not only were they professional, they were personal and attentive. We shared a wonderful four hours with them snorkeling, whale watching (and listening), hiking, swimming, and just touring. We would highly recommend them anytime! --Mike and Traci, Don and Nancy More

Our group went snorkelling, went on a river boat tour, and went to the falls and the volcano area. We were also provided transportation to and from the airport. They cooked some dinners for us as well. All activities were superb and the people with Almaco were the best! More

My wife and I were on a ten year anniversary and decided to try our hand at snorkeling. Our concierge recommended Almaco and set it up. We toured remote beaches, learned all anout the pennisula, and did some amazing snorkeling. It was private, low pressure, relaxing, and our guide Bari was so friendly. We'll be back. More
