After I booked this trip, I started reading a lot of negative reviews. But I still stayed with them and never regretted it. They picked us up at our hotel as promised in a large air conditioned bus. Half hour into trip we picked up another group from a smaller van. But, no issues since lots of room on our bus. Roy our guide thoroughly explained all details of trip. Everyone got a bag breakfast, ham sandwich, cookies, apple and juice as advertised. It was a long drive, therefore no time to stop. The catamaran was at dock when we got there. After we started our 2 hour boat ride, they started serving watermelon and pineapple along with ceviche, soft drinks and alcohol who wanted to buy it. Once on the island we relaxed for a bit had a good swim and then had a nice lunch at noon, they served sangria and Iced Tea. After lunch we paid for the optional nature walk. Word of warning, the path is very steep and uneven. Wear good shoes. No beach sandals or flip flops.
At 3:30 pm we reboarded the boat and starred our 2,hour ride. Again they served fresh fruit, banana bread, coffee, soft drinks and alcohol who wanted.
Once we hit the dock, we started our 3 hour ride back to our hotel. Traffic was very busy for a Sunday night. It is what it is.
In conclusion we got was promised. I would recommend this trip, but expect a long day if you are being picked up in Sam Jose.
