    Impressed by the crews, their team works were organized and make you feel one of the best unforgettable vacation.

    Our first experience in Costa Rica was this amazing day trip from San Jose. What a way to experience the beach on a beautiful catamaran with friendly and professional crew. It is hard to believe that transportation, breakfast, lunch, entertainment, snorkeling and banana boat rides were all included - Small sand chairs to sit on the beach too!!! Last but not least our tour guide, Jonnathan, was amazing! Not only was he knowledgeable but an unforgettable character with true care and concern for all his patrons. He was so organized and kept things flowing perfectly to make sure we had fun. It was a blast! Would recommend any tour that was directed by Jonnathan!👍👏

    Beware! Door to door this trip was 16 hours, not the 12 hours advertised. The beach was beautiful, the food prepared for us delicious and the music was great. The boat ride was nice, but longer than anticipated. My main issue with the tour was the amount of time spent going to pick up at hotels and the fact that we were picked up second (5:45am because the bus was late and should have arrived at 5:30am) and then dropped off LAST. Common courtesy would have meant the people who got picked up first, were dropped off first, but instead we spent approximately 6 hours on the bus during the entire 16 hours. Finally I was not pleased that 2 groups on the tour stopped to have dinner (35 min total) while everyone else waited on the bus. This was very inconsiderate, especially when it was 7pm and I was up at 5am. I will not being doing another tour like this again. Fortunately, the time on the island and most of the bout trip were enjoyable.

    The crew members, the food, just everything it includes is amazing. Bathrooms not the cleanest. But other than that wow! Amazing day

    We were in Costa Rica a short time with an 8 year old and we wanted to experience as much as possible from San Jose. This package succeeded at that! This day trip to the beach was amazing! I don’t know where to start.

    First, our tour guide Mario aka Buba was about as friendly as one could hope for in a tour guide. He treated my family great. He also goes around and captures LOTS of moments via GoPro to share on a Facebook album for free.

    The pickup was on time and the trip to and from our hotel was great. Mario was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We stopped and had a great breakfast at their restaurant/shop before getting on the boat. The crew, the service, the food, was top notch for the cruise. They were there for us. We saw whales and dolphins. Fresh fruit and tasty drinks (extra but reasonable). Great views especially the sunsets on return. The rain stay swayed until the end but it was a sprinkle here and there as we wrapped up our day.

    The island had lots to do: eat, swim, volleyball, snorkel, banana boat rides, jet ski/kayak (extra $), or you can just relax in a hammock. The small gift shop was unexpected but came in handy. Plenty of wildlife to see. 5 hours was a perfect amount of time.

    We always felt safe and taken care of. English was well spoken. Can’t think of a negative comment. Worth every penny and would have paid more having experiencing it.

    Perfect getaway from rainy San Jose for a sunny day on the beach. Professional driver, guide, and boat crew. Great drinks too!

    Loved every minute of the day! The crew was professional and fun! The service was 5 star from the start of the day to.the end!!! The food was delicious! The ride in the catamaran was wonderful!

    Very professional. The crew members went out of their way to help make a great experience for us. Issac and the crew bartender (I wish I could remember his name) were the best. Thanks to all at Calypso for a great first day in Costa Rica
