Great experience, Piña and Crew were really amazing, their knowlegde of the zone is really good. Dolphins, sea turtles, big fish schools and white tail reef shark were all along the trip. We also had an biologist on board, so he takes time to explain us every thing about the species We were finding.

I went out into Marino Ballena N.P. with Skipper Pina and guide Wayner, and saw a lot of marine wildlife, including a sea turtle, many brown-footed boobies and frigate birds, and near the beach, some white-faced capuchin monkeys. We also rode through a sea cave near Ventanas! The snacks and service were excellent. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a great time with Wayne and Piña. The sea was a little stormy, but Piña handled the boat with skill and ease. We saw a rare sea turtle, and then came upon a large family of dolphins and had an extraordinary experience with dolphins leaping and dancing all around us. It was magical! We capped the tour with...

Bahia Adventures offers boat tours for snorkeling and dolphin sightings. Safety is their utmost concern, and everyone is fitted with a life jacket that must be worn during the entire trip. Guides are knowledgeable about the wildlife of Costa Rica and love sharing their love of their country. We saw lots of dolphins. Unfortunately, the snorkeling is only fair. Poor... More

I booked this day long fishing trip through Anywhere Costa Rica. There was not a lot of information on the website but I knew this is what I wanted to do while in Costa Rica. It was awesome. The crew was fantastic and just as excitied to fish if not more so than I. I loved the enthusiasm and knowledge... More

It was a very nice day out. Though the whales made themselves scarce we did get to see a pod of spotted dolphins - mothers and babies! The babies seem to quite enjoy jumping out of the water. During the snorkeling stop we had a great close encounter with an endangered Hawkbill turtle. Excellent tour provided by the guide and... More

We had an excellent dolphin tour with Bahia adventures. The guide was very knowledgeable and took great interest in showing us stuff, talking about the marine life and the area. He also helped us with snorkeling as it was our first time snorkeling. We were able to spot a sea turtle and few dolphins. It was a great tour, the... More

I am in the tourism/hotel management industry and went on the tour a few months ago and was very well impressed by the entire operation!! Their service and attentiveness was impeccable and most of all, our tour guide was fully committed with providing for a memorable experience, making sure we were able to see and capture as much wildlife as...

Snorkeling was the best. Beautiful day with great guides. We could not hike to the waterfall (as the park was at capacity that day) - so we got a tour close to shore on the return trip - of all the natural caves.... and a great explanation of everything we were seeing. I do this again in a heartbeat.

This is a FULL day adventure. It's a 2 hour boat ride to the snorkeling site. You have 3 different snorkeling spots and they are ALL unique and great visibility. Then you take another 30 min boat ride and have a great lunch. After lunch you head on a 20 min hike to a beautiful waterfall. There is a lot... More
