Friendly staff and lots of fun. - The boat tour was very fun! It was very wavy and windy the day we set sail, but they kept us safe and happy! It was also a very good lunch we had on the boat! They played good music and were friendly. All types of ages were on the boat!

Great sunset cruise - There were 4 of us in our sixties, we had an amazing time. Once we boarded we sail for about an hour up the coast to a cove where we stopped for about 90 minutes. Some snorkeled but we swam to a great little beach ⛱️. And walked the beach and sunned. Once back on the boat had an awesome lunch. On the cruise back to Tamarindo beach we saw a whale and her babies. The boat stopped for about 15 minutes so we could get some pics. Captain Chute and his crew were very friendly and attentive to everyone's needs. We booked through our hotel and felt the value for the price was great. I would recommend.

Wonderful Catamaran Tour Company - We had a great time with Blue Dolphin! The whole crew was very friendly and made sure we were happy and taken care of with snacks, drinks, and a delicious meal.
Directions and guidance on board were great, too.

Nice day at sea - Nice boat. The crew led by Carlos were fun and helpful. We went out on a very windy day and it made getting the launch into shore to pick us up and take us to the catamaran quite challenging, but they showed their expertise. The drinks, food, music and activities were all very nice. Snorkeling was a little less than it would have been on a calmer day but still fun.

Classy Management - I had originally booked the full day Nicaragua tour, but I had an unfortunate situation and was unable to access my passport from my hotel security box the night before the tour. It would not have been possible to enter Nicaragua without my passport, so I had no choice other to cancel going on the tour last minute. In no way was Native's Way responsible for my misfortune, but after exchanging a few emails the next day with the Native's Way management, they were kind enough to comp me a spot on the Sunset Cruise that day instead. They didn't need to comp me anything, but they did and I thought that showed a lot of class from the management to help me. I hope next time I will be able to go on the full day Nicaragua tour, but I still had a great time that day on the Sunset Cruise. Thank you Native's Way, you made a case of misfortune turn out all right that day.

Enjoyable Afternoon - Short sail to a private beach around the point. Snorkeling was decent, saw several varieties of fish. Drinks were served throughout the trip. Food was good and the crew was very friendly. Ends with the sunset.

Party Boat - It was a fun experience overall. The boat staff were friendly and helpful. Our boat was about half full, which felt perfect. Any more people would have made it feel crowded.
The highlight was being out on the water, listening to music, and enjoying the all you can drink service. The boat stayed fairly close to shore and within view of town, so there was not much to see beyond what you could already see from land. We did not spot any dolphins, which they said is rare, or whales, even though the crew seemed hopeful.
The snorkeling was good if you swam farther out toward the rocks. The lunch was also good. Overall, it felt more like a fun party on the water rather than a sightseeing excursion.

False Advertising - If you are looking for getting drunk and listening to loud Latin music for 5 hours straight in hot sun, totally, go for it. But just so you know, there was no dolphin or whale watching or snorkeling. They don’t even have enough life jackets or snorkels . They had couple of kayaks and one paddle board which was not enough. They say they saw dolphins and whales yesterday but if it doesn’t happen today is because the waters are murky. Personally I don’t think so. We were there for snorkeling and dolphin or whale watching. It was the most disappointing experience we had in Costa Rica.
