Everyone on the sailing tour was excellent. Very fun time. Snorkeling went smoothly. We saw a giant tortoise and many dolphins. Sunset was amazing!

We had a lovely day on the boat! We motored from Playas Del Coco to a somewhat secluded beach with a cave. The crew were wonderful and could not be more helpful from making sure everyone had drinks, providing appropriate fitting snorkel gear, and giving good instructions. For those that were unsure about snorkeling, they motored them in a small boat to the beach for swimming and exploring. The food was delicious and they took photos for us. The sail back to the Playas del Coco was lovely. We had a beautiful morning on the water!

Had a great time on the morning sailing and snorkeling tour. Would recommend this over the catamaran tours as our boat only had 15 people on it (max allowed) and provided a more personal and relaxed tour. Catamaran tours appear to pack 60-80 people on the boat.

This was a beautiful sailing experience. We took a dinghy from Cocoa beach and traveled for about an hour and a half. You had the option of swimming or snorkeling. We saw a few pretty fish. The captain and first mate did a great job making us comfortable and giving us enough time at our leisure. The snacks were delicious and the sunset was awesome. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Bring lots of sunscreen, a hat and long sleeves. Hot hot hot!

Great tour. The captain and first mate were friendly. The boat was immaculate and they paid great attention to our comfort! They had great snacks and beverages to keep you hydrated the entire trip. The snorkeling was fair, but we did see a turtle, small fish and the best part of the tour- a school of dolphins! Great tour. Thank you.

Nice relaxing sailing cruise. Only 15 people. Great staff. Dolphins were following us for 15 minutes. Interesting to see all of the houses and resorts overlooking the ocean.

Highly recommend this sailing trip if you like being out on the water. The boat was in great condition and spacious for the number of passengers aboard. Crew was attentive and top-notch. They took us to a quiet area for snorkeling where we saw some reef fish. Underwater visibility was okay but not great. Snacks and drinks were plentiful and tasty. They timed our return to the harbor perfectly to catch the sunset. Parking situation was a little confusing but that's more on GoogleMaps than the tour operators. Highly recommend!

Spending the day on the Kuna Vela was a truly unique and memorable experience! Our very experienced and skilled Captain Israel was attentive, welcoming, and held safety as the utmost importance. Hostess Mai and First Mate Andres gave us top-notch service! Our safety was their priority, combined with the flowing food and drinks, the perfect winds for sailing, snorkeling adventures, and the beauty of a white sand beach made it a truly a dreamy and memorable day on the water. We will be back!
