It was a beautiful day on the water. I appreciate the bilingual crew. Kevin was able to provide some extra information when we’re heading out to look for wildlife. The lunch was delicious. The crew was on top of taking care of us as we took in the sights.On the way back to our hotel, our driver spotted a sloth and pulled over for us.

Thank you, Cerys! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time aboard the Ocean King, the music, scenery, activities, and drinks. Wonderful to hear our staff’s energy made it even better!
Our family went on this excursion recently (June 2026) and absolutely loved it! The staff were so friendly and helpful. The lunch provided was delicious. The drinks were well prepared. We couldn’t snorkel because of the recent storm but that did not kill the vibe. Everyone had a blast and we would definitely book again.

We had THE best time and MOST of it was because of Erick!!!!! His snarky nature & jokes were so fun!!!! He talked to us about the birds (my husband is an AVID bird watcher and appreciated his knowledge!) and was loving that I was looking for the ocean experience and cocktails!!😜 This is our first trip to Costa Rica and will NOT be our last! We will look for Erick for another excursion this trip and in our future trip back here!!! I will recommend this excursion and Erick to everyone! Thank you so much for one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had!! I jumped off the side of a boat and went down a slide into the ocean!!! THE BEST!

We booked this excursion for Whale Watching. Unfortunately, we didn’t see whales, but we did see a school of dolphins and it was a fantastic time! The cruise along the coast of Manual Antonio National Park was beautiful, the water activities stop was refreshing, the crew provided attentive service, and the meal and drinks were amazing! They also played great music, salsa danced with the guests, and we rock and rolled our way into the harbor. It was great fun for all ages!

Great boat, not a lot of people. A lot of options to sit and relax.
The cruise is divided in 3 points :
1. trying to see dolphins or see animals (not guaranty off course)
2. See Manuel Antonio NP from the see
3. Swimming in a baie and lunch aboard
You don’t go far but it was a pleasant morning. The crew made a great job to make everyone welcomed.

Our catamaran cruise was an absolute blast from start to finish! The boat was spacious and comfortable, with big lounging nets that were perfect for soaking up the sun and ocean breeze. We sipped on fresh, fruity drinks while enjoying the gorgeous coastline — and were lucky enough to spot both a whale and a pod of dolphins! The crew was fantastic, keeping the energy high and making sure everyone had a great time. A special shoutout to the crew member who taught me a dance and kept the party going on the dance floor – you made the trip even more memorable. This was hands-down one of the highlights of our time in Costa Rica!

This was one of our favorite tours to take! The crew was absolutely wonderful and the Ocean King was a very nice catamaran 🙂 We enjoyed the drinks, the food and the kids had a blast with the water tubs. We did go during the rainy season so I would warn people the visibility in the water wasn’t great but we don’t regret gong at all!

I had such a fantastic time while on the tour. Even though it was drizzling the staff and crew made it a great experience! We sadly didn’t see any wildlife, but we still were able to snorkel with fish and enjoy the waterslide with a beautiful sunset with dinner! I recommended this tour, even with a large group of people it was fantastic! The staff make it worthwhile!
Spectacular views, excellent service and care by tne staff, well worth the cost with all the amenities such as drinks, meal, snorkeling gear, etc. Plenty of time to relax.
Our tour guide was incredible at spotting things we probably would have passed by otherwise. We saw sloths, birds, spiders, monkeys, and more. The beaches at the end of the tour were beautiful and refreshing.
……. Was an absolute blast. The boat was large enough to accommodate the big group. The crew was professional and also very fun. We enjoyed the sites and the captain went out of his way to make sure we saw and were able to experience what was available on our trip. It was great having cocktails, music, watching the sunset, and meeting new people as well.
Amazing trip with incredible staff, great food and unmatched experiences! Cannot recommend highly enough!
This day couldn’t have been more perfect. We were leaving that night and went out on the catamaran on the morning cruise. There was fun for everyone. My 2-year-old granddaughters spent the entire time in the jacuzzi. We snorkled, we went down the slides, jumped from the top. Had great food and drink. We didn’t see any dolphins but the birds and views of the park were beautiful. Our party if 8 loved it.
I highly recommend this adventure. The staff was absolutely fantastic. The food was great. The overall experience was a great value for the money. My daughter said it was the highlight of her Costa Rica trip!
Everything was great. The driver picked us up and we had extra time so he took us to see a sloth and take some pictures in Quepos on the way to marina. The staff was amazing and attentive. We had a wonderful time. The food and drinks were great. They had a photographer on board and we got some nice photos.
So glad I went on this 1/2 day trip, my family and I loved it! Not a good time for snorkeling in August but all the activities and site seeing where fantastic! Its a big catamaran and seems too many people walking down the dock but once on the boat its got plenty of room. Great food and drinks…the staff were 5 star!
Having celebrate my daughter’s 15th birthday with Catamaran Ocean King was a magnificent decision. The day was beautiful and perfect, from the beginning they made us feel safe with the equipment and information about the security system … The beautiful adventure that awaited us. The tour included snacks, fruits, drinks and lunch, everything was delicious, they also have a Jacuzzi for the children. My one year old baby enjoyed this beautiful experience too. We saw dolphins and a whale with its calf, the beautiful coasts of the Manuel Antonio National Park, very professional guides provided us a great explanation about the area, we took a break to freshen up and do snorkeling, the food, the music and the staff, everything was perfect. Definitely loved this day, I really recommend it, is the best.
We had a wonderful time sitting on the top deck taking in the sites in a way you couldn’t do otherwise.
The guided tour of the parc with Beatriz was one of the highlights of our travels through Costa Rica. Very knowledgeable and made it fun and interesting. We saw tons of animals. She shared the mazing photos she took during the tour. Memorable !
Well, what can i say, on vacation with my wife, she didn’t feel great,
And the crew was more than accommodating, so I, love the sea, but with a prosthetic leg, jump from the the top, and guess what, lost my leg, lol, the whole crew was more than helpful, and there is Roberto rescuing my leg, is not the value of the prosthetic leg, it was that I still have three more days and it didn’t pack another leg, he went down and with zero visibility under the sea found it.
The you guys, pura vida.
If you are visiting, definitely 6 stars!!!!!!
Great service from the entire crew and staff. Very fun evening with multiple stops around Manuel Antonio. 100% recommend
The food was great & plentiful, the boat is very tidy and clean ,
Was very nice to see the coast line close up and was definitely only available to see from the water,
The hosts were very happy and helpful , with great energy & enthusiasm!
my group and I are Canadian & we enjoyed this adventure very much ,
We recommend this excursion to all ages, it was great for any age group
Super great choice !!
This was the best day we had in Costa Rica yet! The staff was all so kind and helpful. It ended up raining later during the day, but everyone had a great time regardless. Cannot recommend this company and excursion enough!
I have to review this trip with 5 stars because of the OUTSTANDING service. I was never in want of a beverage, we were very well briefed on the boat + safety measures, and the lunch was outstanding. Unfortunately no dolphins came out to play, and the murky snorkeling conditions were some of the worst I’ve ever encountered, but the slides and jumping off the top deck were super fun! A great way to see Manuel Antonio from a different perspective.
Thanks to Nayely, Wesley and the rest of the crew for an amazing time
We opted to take the tour with no guide, we didn’t notice we took the expert trail and we completed it with no issues, exhausted for sure but safe.
There are a lot of animals in the wild, so you need to pay close attention to everything, so you don’t miss a thing.
This was an awesome trip! The staff was warm, welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed everything about the tour! The price of the trip included a delicious homemade lunch, 4 alcoholic beverages, snorkeling, jumping off the boat, and slides. My friends and I had a great time and even got to see home dolphins swim right alongside the boat! We also appreciated that the staff told us about the dolphins and then moved on since they are an eco-conscious company and didn’t want to hurt the animals. I would highly recommend this tour!
Went to this tour with my family of 6 and we absolutely loved it! All members of the crew were awesome and were really committed to ensuring we had a great time. We got alcoholic drinks per ride and unlimited water and juices plus snacks and lunch. Great tour!
The catamaran was so nice – great facilities, incredible rooftop deck, water slides, front lounging nets. The staff was on point – Emilio took great care of us. Can’t complain about the food – the drinks were a little weak but that was probably a good thing seeing as we were sitting out in the sun all day.
The one bad thing (completely out of the control of the crew) was we didn’t get to see any whales or dolphins, but did see a sea turtle or two! They were being shy that day apparently.
We had a great time aboard the catamaran. It was clean and not crowded. There was plenty of space to sit and move around. Due to weather we were unable to snorkel but the views of the landscapes and beaches were fantastic. The crew was very attentive and the food was good, we had a great time. I highly recommend this trip.
What a fun experience! The ocean king staff were all super friendly and helped make the trip excellent. They made sure my wife, who was 5 months pregnant, had everything she could need. The views were epic. The dolphins were a delight. The food was tasty. ¡Pura vida!
We had an amazing time on the Ocean King! The staff was friendly and attentive, the drinks were great, and the music was fun! Emma the photographer got amazing photos (well worth the purchase). Jumping from the boat and the slides were a highlight! The food was basic but not bad. Overall a great experience for all ages and I highly recommend!
Everything was easy and provided for. Spacious boat tons to do very friendly staff. Water was warm snorkeling was amazing. Highly recommend!
Big shot out to Francisco and Emilio they were really awesome. Emilio did a great job of providing service. Even snapped great pics of us and provided info on the area. The food was excellent big ups to the chef! I boldly went down the slide and my husband as well. He also jumped ship lol! We got to see some beautiful yellow fin surgeons when we stopped to snorkel. Drinks were on point, music on point. We watched the sunset and made some new friends as well. Thanks for the experience!
The staff was amazing and FUNNY! You can tell they are very good at their job and have done this a LOT. The boat was clean, the food was good (not great but good), and the drinks kept flowing. Overall, the staff is really what made the experience worthwhile
Good Food, Good Music, Good time. Loved it!!
Had the best afternoon on ocean king! Saw wild dolphins, lots of colorful fish whilst snorkeling and a beautiful sunset. The food was delicious and we enjoyed a variety of drinks. The staff was lovely and very hospitable, taking photos for people and waiting for drinks. I would highly recommend!
The boat was new, well equipped & extremely spacious. We spent time in the jacuzzi, on the net & generally chilling out. Drinks were tasty & included in the price.
The best part of the whole experience, though, was the staff. Flawless service, enthusiastic & friendly, the entire crew provided a great experience to all of the guests.
The snorkeling gear was top notch & the water slides were great fun.
The food was delicious & plentiful & the sunset was absolutely gorgeous.
Absolutely great value for money! We had a great time & truly enjoyed the entire experience. And to repeat…fantastic service & staff!!!
I really liked the staff. They were great. I miss them already.
