Early jet ski tour was a lot of fun we went snorkeling at a local reef and then saw a few dolphins. Water and fruits were provided. The view of the coast is beautiful, well worth it to take a camera.

A great team that helped me plan all my tours during my vacation in Manuel Antonio. I booked horseback riding, morning catamaran, atv waterfall ride, zip lining and white-water rafting. Everything was 5 stars from the different tour guides to the drivers always being on time to pick us up at our Airbnb. I highly recommend this company because they have a customer service that you can contact at any time to change a date or time of a tour that you have already booked. We had a lot of questions that were not related to any activity and the team was extremely helpful.
