      Girls trip
      Had the best time on our girls trip with Justice and Daniel! They’re very knowledgeable and fun to tour with. Justice did a great job getting the dolphins to follow our boat, allowing us to capture some great footage! My group appreciates you guys!

      Great value for the experience
      This tour is great! The length/duration of the tour really allows you to enjoy the experience. The weather and the timing of our tour was also great, sunny but not too hot. Our guide Taylor was really informative and pleasant during the whole ride, she really knew her facts and was able to give us all kinds of information on the environment and it's wild life inhabitants. Taylor made sure we were all safe and was very accommodating so everyone had the best experience possible. From beginning to end, everything was really organized and all ran smoothly and on a timely manner. I highly recommend this tour and look forward to doing it again some time.

      And a great time was had by all
      The youngest being 73, and we had a great experience. Don't be put off by the meeting place Google Maps brings you to, because there's no building there, they just set up on the beach. The staff is really great - friendly, funny and informative. The guide was very patient as some people in our group of 10 were slower than others. But, there was still plenty of time to explore and have a great time. I do recommend that you try to stay up with the guide as their voice may not carry well when the wind is blowing. They have great info to give on the geography and the wildlife.

      Justice & Taylor are great tour guides
      Went with friends on a day trip around Tierra Verde and the coast. Justice and Taylor offered snorkeling, a walk on an island, and wake-boarding. They were very knowledgeable about the area, easy to talk with, and helpful with the water sports. They even knew how to get the dolphins to jump in the wake of the boat. Highly recommend!

      Amazing
      This was the most amazing experience!! Me and my daughter went down for spring break, we were with another mom and daughter in our group. Roger was our guide and did an amazing job at narrative around the area. We spotted 2 dolphins, went snorkeling and shell hunting! Highly recommend, you won’t regret it!

    Nice tour
    While the tour was nice and the guide was excellent, the e-bike was a bit hard to get off and on, for a short person. The cross bar is high, and I'm short, although taller then the 5'2" required.
