Lots of room on boat for everyone and was not overly crowded.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 403 reviews · 6 hours · from $37

“Juan was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly. He literally hiked through the hills and jungle barefoot! What an experience. I even tasted a termite (after Juan did) - it tastes like cilantro. We saw many beautiful beaches south of the city and had a delicious lunch at the end. The hike during the first half is physically demanding (through the rocks & jungle) and at times a bit tricky - this is not for everyone. Some of our group members really struggled with the hike. But the payoff (beaches, views, and sense of accomplishment) were worth it. Great value for the cost. Recommended.”

“We had great confusion about where to meet the tour guide! After 30 minutes of waiting at the dock at the cruise terminal, I decided to walk around the marina to find the boat pictured on Viator. After finding the boat and then inquiring about the return time, we made an adjustment to the excursion. Upon booking this excursion, I disclosed the name of my cruise ship and the on-board time for us to board our ship at the end of the excursion. Because the boat trip did not leave the marina on time, they couldn't guarantee that they could return us to our cruise ship on time. So we…”
