We were expecting a sailboat ride - in fact they never put the sails up but motored in both directions, going out because it would take too long and coming back because the wind was too strong (that part, at least, was quite legit). We saw some lovely fish, although would have liked the option of more time in the... More

We went sailing for the morning on dec 26th. It was a lovely day. We saw several humpback whales breeching and the crew made an effort to ensure we all saw this. Snorkelling was better than expected. Food was only so-so, but otherwise it was great. More

We booked the sunset sail with Kuna Vela and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. The boat was in great shape and the crew was very hospitable (Corrine spoke fluent Spanish, French, and English). The small snack on-board was actually better than some of the food at our 5-star hotel. Needless to say the views from the boat were phenomenal. More

The boat crew are genuinely great, and the morning snorkeling tour makes for a good adventure. I'd recommend this for beginners and kids, as they'll have a blast. Our boat was somewhat crowded (late December), and we spent ~2 hrs each way picking up people from different beaches and traveling to the destination, 45 min snorkeling. For people who've snorkeled... More

We had a great time on the Kuna Vela snorkeling and sailing excursion. Everyone on the crew was great and willing to help us with anything we needed. The food was really good and the location we went to snorkel was beautiful. There was an awesome cave and a very short hike that had a great view! More

I really enjoyed my day sailing and snorkeling with the Kuna Vela. It is a nice-size boat (not too big or small) for our part of 7 people. We sailed along the coast and saw many turtles, dolphin, and even a sea snake. The boat anchored in a little bay with no sign of civilization (buildings, cars, people, all absent).... More
