We saw all that we were promised and more. Our Captain Jimbo was great. He was an excellent Captain and he read the waves well. Denis, our first mate was super. Spoke great English and was really knowledgeable about Costa Rican marine life. We saw whales and even a baby. So many turtles swimming with us. He took us to see adorable little white face monkeys. Snorkeling was average. Lots of fish but sadly the reef is pretty dead much like in most of the world. The trip was wonderful and very memorable thanks really to Denis. Really worthwhile. Highly recommended.
Candy, I love that you were able to see not only whales but also a baby humpback whale- that is definitely a special treat! Thank you for your excellent feedback. We hope you book with us again for your Playa Flamingo ocean adventures.
my family of 3 had a wonderful time snorkeling with the crew of Amberjack. They were knowledgeable about the area and we left with great memories of seeing lots of underwater life.
Thanks for a wonderful day on the water. Superb!!
Thank you so much, Helen! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great day on the water with us. “Superb” is exactly what we strive for, and it means a lot to know you felt that way about your experience. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back out again with the Amberjack family soon. Pura vida! 🎣🌊
Had a great snorkel morning with Amberjack. Two snorkel sights, loads of information, beverages and fruit and much attention paid to our 13 yr old grandson. Would definitely use them again.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Daniel! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great snorkeling morning with us. It’s always our goal to create a fun, informative, and comfortable experience for everyone on board—especially younger guests—so we love knowing your grandson was well taken care of. Two great snorkel spots, fresh fruit, cold drinks, and a relaxed morning on the water is exactly what we aim for, and we’re so glad it delivered for your family. We truly appreciate your support and would love to have you back out with the Amberjack family anytime. Pura vida! 🌊🐠
This was such a fun experience! They were so accommodating and patient with our young boys who were first time snorkelers. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water!
Melissa, We are so happy you and your family enjoyed your time with us. It was a pleasure to have you aboard!
