Boating with Gary
We had an amazing boating trip in Papagayo with Captain Gary! It was one of the highlights of our entire vacation. Captain Gary was an excellent driver—skilled, safe, and incredibly accommodating throughout the day. He made sure we had plenty of opportunities to catch fish, and the boat itself was spotless and comfortable. The snorkeling was fantastic. We saw tons of wildlife and colorful fish, and the water was crystal clear. We went to multiple locations to see all the area reefs had to offer. There was plenty of thoughtful items available for use to aid in making the day more enjoyable. The food on board was also excellent, especially the fresh sashimi that his assistant, Erickson, prepared from our own catch—such a cool experience. There was a variety of drinks as well, all included in the trip. Highly recommend this trip. Absolutely worth the money and a perfect way to spend a day on the water in Papagayo!
