I booked this catamaran trip with 2 other ladies I was travelling with. Not knowing what to expect, but each of us had been on a catamaran before we figured there were going to be about 40-60 people on this excursion with us. When we got to the designated meeting place, we were pleasantly surprised that there were only 17... More

My friend and I had such a great time aboard the Blue Dolphin! The crew was fun and very friendly! Unlimited drinks were served all day long as we cruised to and from the snorkeling and kayaking spot. We were able to see lots of different colorful fish and to finish it all off we saw a beautiful sunset while... More

Started off with a two hour sail to a remotely located bay where we anchored for a few hours to snorkel, kayak and eat a delicious buffet lunch. During the entire trip there was open bar and lots of lively conversation among the 20 guests and 5 crew members. The cataraman was comfortable and included a nice compact restroom below... More

Shout out to the crew members on the May 8th- sorry I dont have the paper with your names! First, the boat was beautiful and VERY spacious in comparrison to other catamarans. There... More

My husband and I were lucky to book this trip last minute due to the fact that it was start of the rainy season. But luckily - we had no rain at all, just beautiful weather. The crew: Gerardo, Jonathan, and Chute, were very welcoming and very attentive. You were never wanting for a beverage! Lunch was also provided and... More

We were on a private birthday cruise with the Blue Dolphin and it was truly a 5 star experience. The boat was very clean and in a good shape, the crew super sympa and very helpful, plenty of drinks and good tasty food. Pura vida ambiance with lots of fun music, everybody loved the trip. 100% recommended!

Such a fun excursion. Beautiful and calm trip. The crew were fun. It was very enjoyable visiting with other passengers. The drinks kept a flowing!!! The snorkeling was ok...but it wasn't designed to be a snorkeling excursion. Snorkeling was just part the of the trip. I did see some beautiful tropical fish though and we had a good 45 min-... More

I had a blast on my afternoon/sunset cruise. Crew was fun, polite and made sure I had everything I needed. Food was YUMMY and I had no shame in eating seconds. Smooth sailing, snorkeling (and no I do not want to hold that mushy octopus thank you), private beach stroll and as other reviewers attest - amazing sunsets. I even... More

We booked our Blue Dolphin cruise with Diego at Villa Amarilla. The sunset cruise picked us up around 12:45 in a small watercraft that brought us out to the catermeran sailing vessel. We had about 20 people on our excursion. We had barely stepped foot on the boat before the guys started waiting on us with the free drinks. We... More
