Quiroco, Kevin and the fabulous chef are an incredible team that offer you an unforgettable experience on the sea. They are so funny, kind and take care of you all trip long. I definitely recommend!Catalina de Flores, Anais and Maélie xx
They were 👍👍👍👍👍 amazing. The drew was helpful, knew our names, and were friendly. They made sure we were having a good time.
Minor and his crew took such good care of my friends and I today. From the minute we stepped foot in the ticket office, we were treated with such kindness. The boat tour included drinks (alcohol and juices) and the lunch was delicious. Thank you again to Minor and his crew for making our time in Quepos so memorable.
80$ per person to do the sunset sails tour including lunch, 13 persons in a boat did not include the guide and his team. We had to buy tickets in advance and they picked and dropped us from the hotel we stayed at.
Wir hatten eine traumhafte Ausfahrt und konnten Wale beobachten, ein einmaliger Moment der sehr episch war. Essen auf dem Boot war auch super lecker, der Fisch wurde frisch gefangen während der Fahrt und dann frisch zubereitet. Einfach super. Danke für alles
Une magnifique expérience que nous avons vécue en couple. Le tour dure 3h environ.Nous étions 25 sur le bateau, mais sans être trop serrés. Le bateau nous fait visiter la côte et les criques.Nous avons eu la chance de voir des baleines !Le snorkeling n’était top : l’endroit où nous étions n’était pas très clair, on ne voyait rien.Le déjeuner est servi à la fin du tour en bateau : poisson, riz, légumes. C’était délicieux et les portions étaient grosses.Les boissons sont servies à volonté.Les guides sont vraiment adorables et nous expliquaient tout sur la faune marine.
This was a beautiful experience for our party of 5. The crew was so friendly and helpful. All of us were so impressed with how much everyone in the crew cared about each of us. I personally experienced some seasickness, but the crew went so far above and beyond the call of duty to assist me. If you want to experience the full beauty and hospitality of this country and the warmth of its people, this is the sunset cruise all five of us would recommend! If you struggle with motion sickness, don't forget the Dramamine. Everybody from my party loved the strong and delicious Mojitos. My gratitude to the crew for taking such great care of me!
I can’t recommend this tour enough to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio or the surrounding areas. We took part in the 9 AM session (there is a 2 PM one as well), which took about 3 hours in full.- It was easy to get there (they pick you up)- The crew was very fun and accommodating (they make unlimited kickin’ drinks and cook amazing food for everyone, including mahi-mahi, chicken, and veggie options)- The views were amazing (snorkeling and swimming around the boat was a good time)All in all, it was well worth the time and money, and we’d recommend it to groups of all sizes and ages. Shoutout to Kevin and the full crew.ALSO—If you’re lucky enough to try the captain’s homemade Carolina reaper hot sauce, do not pass up on it. Best hot sauce I had in the country hands down.
Wonderful coast tour, we loved our guide!! Pura vida
Excelente atención, evacuaron dudas
Amazing experience, hosts are so friendly and great at engaging the group.Snorkelling with the fish was great, and the lunch provided was extremely fresh and well made. Highly recommend for your morning in Quepos 🙂
One of our favorite things we did while visiting Costa Rica! We didn't see any big sea life and the water was a bit cloudy while snorkeling, but not a fault of the crew (late May, morning after heavy rain). We recommend taking the anti-nausea pill when they give it to you before the tour - one of us felt seasick even with prior boat experience, but the crew were helpful in getting us through it. Drinks and food were great, including the vegetarian option (which we're often disappointed by on other tours)!
Wonderful experience, super kind and welcoming staff, fun beautiful boat with a slide and diving board, comfortable seating, delicious food and drinks, super toddler-friendly, had fun swimming in the pacific ocean.
Our captain (captain minor) was great- so funny and made sure everyone had a good time. The meal on the boat was delicious (rice, beans, fresh Mahi Mahi, salad) and we also got fresh fruit and drinks (Mojtos, mango juice and rum, pina colados, etc.) The sunset was beautiful and the water was so warm to swim in- we could snorkel, use the slide, and jump off the boat. The scenery was very pretty as well.
One of the best catamaran tours in Manuel Antonio.
Tour increíble, servicio único y amable. Una experiencia hermosa!
I had the pleasure of booking Sunset Sails Tours for a sunset cruise with my dad during our last night in Costa Rica, and it was an incredible experience that exceeded all our expectations. The crew, led by Kevin, were super friendly and hospitable from start to finish, and we appreciated the easy pickup and dropoff service at our AirBnb.We were impressed by the delicious mahi-mahi dinner that was way better than we expected, and the snorkeling was a fun bonus. We also loved the unlimited cocktails, which added to the already great value for the price. And of course, the highlight of the trip was watching the stunning sunset over Manuel Antonio, which was the perfect ending to our trip.Overall, I would highly recommend Sunset Sails Tours to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable cruise in Costa Rica. Thank you to everyone at Sunset Sails for making our last night in Costa Rica so special!
We had a wonderful time on a sunset cruise while staying at Tulemar. Uncle Minor made sure everyone felt welcome and was a most gracious host. The crew were terrific and ensured that everyone had a great time. Dinner and drinks added to the experience. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience Pura Vida!
We really enjoyed our late afternoon sail with “Sunset Sails”. I chose Sunset Sails from online reviews. The tour was easy to book. Transportation was on time and comfortable. We liked the size of the trimaran and guest about 35. Nice mix older adults and young. Kevin and crew very nice and informative. Drinks provided but not a “drunken loud crowd” which we did not want. Boat purposely got to snorkel area first before larger “party barges” arrived which was nice. and, the simple mahi mahi fish dinner with sides was GREAT! Finally boat stayed out long enough for us to enjoy a wonderful sunset! Highly recommend Sunset Sails.
This experience was absolutely awesome. We did the sunset sail and the crew was unbelievably funny, friendly, interesting and kind. We saw whales, the snorkeling was great, the cocktails and dinner were delicious. 100% worth it. Thank you!!
This was an incredible experience; an absolute highlight of my 3 weeks in Costa Rica! I would highly recommend the sunset tour with this company. The food was one of the best meals I’ve had during my travels, the snorkeling was wonderful, and the guides were knowledgeable about the area and provided amazing information about the landscape while we were out on the water. They made it fun and interactive and truly wanted the guests to relax and enjoy. The drinks were amazing and the atmosphere was second to none. All in all, if you are in the area, don’t miss this!
Just a fantastic day for 14 of us! Minor and his crew took us out, cruised around and anchored to snorkel. Then they prepared a delicious fish dinner. Drinks were served the entire time (as many or as strong as wanted.) The entire were crew were so friendly and accommodating. It was a memorable and fun day, well worth the cost.
We chartered a sailboat for a family of 14 and had a great experience with Minor! He was attentive and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions about Costa Rica while we were cruising. He led our snorkel tour and made us feel comfortable in the water. Diego made us an amazing dinner of Mahi Mahi that was one of our favorite Costa Rican meals. The place we anchored for sunset was breathtaking. Highly recommend this company and activity!
Fantastic afternoon/evening on the water. We were on the sailboat as opposed to the catamaran. At first, we were wondering if the experience would be as good. It was!! Not too rocky, beautiful views, dolphins, tons of colorful fish when snorkeling and a great tasting dinner and drinks. Our hosts were very friendly and catered to every need. Highly recommend this as a top experience in Costa Rica - the view of the beautiful coastline as seen from the water and the sunset….great excursion.
Very nice sunset sail on a small sailboat. NOT a party boat! I had read that the snorkeling was often not good, and that was true, but we saw False Killer Whales, a species of dolphins. That made up for it. Very pleasant.
We had so much fun! The entire staff are super friendly and fun. We got to snorkel and see a bunch of different types of fish and a star fish as well as spend time going down the boats water slide! Drinks were very good and the food was excellent! Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time with drinks, snorkeling, and humpback whales! Great crew and a memorable experience. Pick sunset sails and enjoy!
Great service on the boat drinks galore and then lunch was fabulous mahi mahi! Then of course the diving experience was great! We were very lucky to also see humpback and false killer whales! Minor and Kevin were our main hosts!
Took a boat out and around Manuel Antonio with great views. Then stopped to snorkel and use the water slide while the crew prepared lunch. Saw a good variety of fish while snorkeling and even a sea turtle which the guide pointed out to us all. Then came back on board for a lunch of fried fish/chicken rice beans salad and veggies, very yummy and filling. The staff was very friendly and chatted with us the entire ride explaining the nature and culture of the area. They also provided cold drinks throughout the 3 hr tour.
What a great sunset sail and snorkel! Kevin and the team were absolutely wonderful and the fish was amazing, the best food we have ever had on a boat tour. We were even treated to a full rainbow in addition to a gorgeous sunset!
An amazing experience thanks to Cristian and his uncle. We got to see humpback whales, which was unusual since they are not in the waters in the season. The snorkeling was great and the food and drinks delicious! A memorable experience! Pura Vida!
Our group of 9 took a Sunset Sails tour and it was absolutely amazing! It definitely exceeded all of our expectations. The drinks and food were so delicious! The service was great and the entire crew was so much fun! The tour was a perfect combination of relaxing and fun, and we even saw whales!Kevin was particularly great--told us all about Manuel Antonio National Park and even danced with our group at sunset. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat--it was so much fun! I can't recommend it enough!
One of my absolute favorite activities in Costa Rica, hands down. What a wonderful experience and very kid friendly. Snorkling, swimming, food, and a beautiful sunset.
Absolutely recommend! This tour is owned by a local Costa Rican family so please support them! They had the best service! This was absolutely a highlight of our trip! It was also great for family. Our family is all adults so we had a fun time drinking but there were also families with small kids that had a great time as well. We sailed to different viewing spots while the crew served us drinks. They were super friendly and were constantly walking around asking for our next order. We stopped and swam around a coral reef spot with an abundance of fish in a cove that was very calm and good for swimming. They gave us a lot of time at that spot where everyone got to use the slide and jump off the top as well. It was all smiles! Then they served us an amazing fish lunch cooked perfectly right on the boat. We enjoyed lunch and drinks and a beautiful ride back to the harbor. Thank you Sunset Sails tours for the best last day of our Costa Rica family adventure! Pura Vida!
Very relaxed and staff make sure you had all the drinks you needed. We really enjoyed the dinner they cooked while out on the water. Swimming and jumping in was fun. Would recommend. Thanks
Very beautiful experience the captain, Kevin and Diego were very nice and and give us anything we need. Food and drink delicious,We saw a whale and we also swim.
We had a great time and the crew was terrific. Kevin was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the tour. We were fortunate enough to see humpback whales and sea turtles. Highly recommended!
Such an amazing experience! The tour guide, captain, and crew made us feel at home. We took the day time tour and the experience was surreal, from sitting peacefully while feeling the breeze and listening to the waves of the ocean, to seeing dolphins and sharks. We were also provided with lots of drinks and rum (if you wanted), fruits, and a delicious lunch (fish/chicken, rice, vegetables). We got to learn a lot about the ocean life from our super knowledgeable guide as well. 10/10 a must-do in Quepos!
Our group was in Costa Rica for a wedding and had the pleasure of experiencing SunSet Tours for lunch. The food and drinks were good but the most gratifying part of this tour was seeing the whales. Minor was the best host ever. He had the right music to make everybody on the boat move and when we encountered other boats in the water, they would stop and look at us having a good time and they would start dancing and singing with us. This is a must experience tour.I will be returning with a different group for them to experience what I did. Kudos to Minor and his crew for creating a magical and magnificent experience for the wedding party and guest.
We did a 4 hour cruise with 15 people. It was a perfect afternoon. The boat was clean and had shade if you wanted it. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was awesome. Highly recommend.
Had a very relaxing day on the tour, the food was very good, much better than i expected. Kevin and the captain were extremely nice. I think they need to change the guy that answers the phones in the morning he was very rude and grumpy and hung up on me by "accident " after I asked what it seems to him were too many questions, i called back and he kept hanging up, this made us think twice about considering this company but I'm glad we did.
The sunset cruise was a great experience. The food and drinks were plentiful and delicious. Snorkeling was great and I saw a large number of colorful fish.The added bonus is we saw a pod of whales about 400 feet from the boat.This was so much more than I expected and the sunset was just beautiful.c
Great experience. Kevin and Antonio, and the captain took great care of us on our catamaran snorkel trip. The lunch was fantastic and the drinks kept coming! The snorkeling was a lot of fun as well, you really swam right into big schools of fish.
Great experience for me and family.
Lovely experience! Great people, great price, beautiful setting! Highly recommend this company for your boat tour! ❤️
Really cool and affordable tour!!!! The snorkeling part was a bit pathetic, for 4 boats dropped off 300 tourists at the same time around 1 rock in the water that has about 100 fish around. But that's not their fault. The food was wonderful, the coastline views were gorgeous as well as the sunset!!! The tour guide's name was Minor, he was soooo nice and fun!!! I absolutely recommend this tour!!!
Very good and professional company! Attentive and very chill staff! The drinks was amazing also the food, the atmosphere pura vida of course and the tour was chilled and very nice!
Pasamos un tiempo increíble en este barco para un crucero al atardecer. ¡Todo el equipo fue fantástico, conocedor y divertido! Hubo mucho tiempo para nadar, hacer snorkel y bucear. Había muchas bebidas incluidas, ¡y la comida era simplemente deliciosa! Vimos delfines que nadaban junto al bote y hacia el final tuvimos algunos truenos y relámpagos, ¡esto se sumó a la magia general! Recomendamos encarecidamente elegir esta empresa de turismo que es un negocio familiar con personas maravillosas que hacen que la experiencia sea especial.
Super expérience, guide sympathique. La nourriture est bonne et tous les drinks sont inclus (sauf la bière à 1000¢ chaque). L'excursion nous a coûté 75 USD chaque, ça vaut la peine
Amazing tour guide with so much knowledge of the area and ecosystem. Drinks included HELL YES!!!! The food on the boat was amazing, so fresh. Bring some cash for tips these guys deserve it the teller near by was down so had to get creative.Minor te deje propina con la oficina. Gracias por todo. PURA VIDA!
Highly recommended. The crew was wonderful. The food was delicious. Enjoyed every moment!
Très bonne expérience, de prime abord on était pas hyper emballé quand on a vu le monde et le bateau mais très rapidement l'équipage a su mettre l'ambiance et a été au petit soin tout au long du voyage, vous ne manquerez de rienC'est très convivial je recommande
If you’re sitting on the fence about taking a sunset cruise in Quepos, get off the French and on the boat with Sunset Sails!! Minor was an amazing host! This tour company knows hospitality! You will be treated like family as he shares his knowledge of the area, the park, and the water with you. You’ll always have a drink in your hand (all complimentary) and an amazing fish (or if you must, chicken) dinner as you watch the sun set over the water. And, don’t forget snorkeling and the slide into the water. If there is one must do on your list for Quepos/Manuel Antonio, it’s a sunset cruise with Sunset Sails! And, added bonus, this is a small locally owned and operated tour company, so you can feel even better about putting your dollars in the hands of this lovely Costa Rican small business.
We had a perfect day in the water. The crew provided exceptional service and assistance to my 80 year old mother and ensured that she had a wonderful experience. The drinks were great, lunch was fresh and delicious, and the dolphins put on a spectacular show. Thank you to Minor and amazing crew.
I highly recommend this adventure! We went on the sailboat for an afternoon of snorkeling and sunset...had a blast and the beauty was unbelievable!The crew was amazing, caring and fun! The food and drinks...delicious!
Minor thank you for making our trip so special. I wish I could give you more stars. I booked the sunset sailboat for my family of 3 which had about 22 adults on it. We aren't drinkers but they keep the drinks coming for those who are. The ride along the coast line was spectacular! Minor shared details about the topography and the wildlife, that we found very informative. Being able to photograph the coastline from the water is very special all the way along Manuel Antonio and back before we settled into a calm cove where we jumped in to snorkel. We enjoyed a 30 minute plunge and got back on for a very tasty and hot fish meal prepared by the galley chef. As we headed back we nestled into the waves for a beautiful sunset to finish out our perfect day!We felt very well taken care of. They make you feel like family.We'll definitely be back to see you! I can't thank you enough.What are you waiting for... book this sailboat...you'll be glad you did!!
What a great experience we had with Sunset Tours. This is a very professional company, but with a Pura Vida vibe. Our trip was great from start to finish. Our guide Kevin was awesome and very attentive to our needs. We provided with drinks and snacks throughout the trip. We were lucky enough to spot some dolphins and the captain redirected the boat so we could get right next to them. My family enjoyed the snorkeling, slide, and jumping off the diving platform. The meal they provided was very fresh and delicious. Great trip!
great family operated tour company offering an amazing experience
We had a lot of fun. Didn't see any dolphins or other sea life from the boat, but that's just how it goes. Snorkeling is just ok in this area but it was fun to get in the water. Food was yummy and crew was top notch. Beautiful sunset!
There are tours and then there is Sunset Sails Tours. From checking in with clear expectations management regarding wildlife sightings and snorkelling conditions, on what was okay and what was not, and all throughout the trip they took care of myself, my wife, and my kids with aplomb. Special acknowledgement to Minor, the lead guide who was jovial, attentive, and felt like an old acquaintance met again after a long absence. Also, the food and beverage service was impeccable, and the skipper an absolute maestro on the helm taking us close by shores to see animals and birds, thanks to his intimate local knowledge. My oldest didn’t want it to end. Thank you. NB: we took the sail boat and not the catamaran, and it appears to have been converted to mostly motoring save for a headsail that I imagine roll out in downwind conditions but might also be there for show. This did not diminish the experience.
Lovely captain & crew! The team was very responsive when I was trying to book a same day tour and the experience was filling with delicious drinks, beautiful snorkeling, and a nice homemade dinner.
Sunset Sails was an AMAZING experience for me and my two girlfriends. We loved that it's a family business; I emailed one brother, met another brother, and the mom took us to the boat. S/O to Kevin for graciously cleaning up the drink that one of my friends spilled. The crew was so kind, the drinks were delicious (our introduction to caipirinha), the food was bomb, the snorkeling was okay LOL, the views were to die for, we saw dolphins, jumping in and riding the slide was super fun, the person on AUX was on point, and all of the honeymooners on the boat were so cute.
Food, drinks, and atmosphere were great!
Was really worth it! We saw beautiful nature, whales and on top we were served delicious food. Very friendly crew.
The crew went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable. Maynor, Antuan & Captain I could tell they care not only for their jobs but the service they provide. WELL DONE!!!It's family run. My son and I had an absolute blessing. I would recommend it to anybody looking for recommendations for things to do in Costa Rica.

We had such a great time! We felt pampered. Free juices and sodas were served. Lunch was so yummy! The staff spent time getting to know the guests. I felt safe while snorkeling because staff were watching and helping. GREAT DAY!!
8 days in CR, 5 different adventure tours and this one was far and away the best. Wish I could do it everyday... incredibly accommodating, great food and drinks, and even better hosts. Gracias Brian y Diego! Pura vida, amigos. ❤️
three and a half hours by catamaran in front of the Manuel Antonio National Park with the opportunity to swim, casual atmosphere, great crew, always joking, fantastic sunset
Well done cruise on a trihull cruiser. Staff was great and food was simple Costa Rican food but well done. We were lucky and saw many, many dolphins - lots of jumping, swimming in front of boat and several young ones. Adult were large - about 5 - 6 feet, young were small - maybe 2-3 feet. Stopped for some snorkelling - saw some colourful fish, coral was mostly grey - but do not expect spectacular snorkelling. Amazing sunset on our way back. Overall very good value. I have seen some reviews that have been critical of the staff - I just do not get this as the staff was professional, courteous and friendly. Staff had very good English and telephone reservation/questions was easy.
This boat tour exceeded my expectations! We saw so many dolphins, at first jumping in the distance and then swimming underneath and alongside the boat. Definitely the closest I've been to dolphins in the wild. They were feeding on California flying fish and seeing a flying fish fly on top of the water was one of the coolest things I've seen - they can stay in the air so much longer than I expected! I also saw a ray jump out of the water while we were watching the dolphins. Then we stopped to snorkel and swim, which was beautiful and we saw lots of different fish. The dinner was incredible (like one of the best meals we had on that leg of our trip) and it was much appreciated that they had vegan and gluten free options! The sunset was a stunner, especially with the coast or Manuel Antonio as the backdrop for it. Oh - and unlimited drinks and cocktails included?? That was a pleasant surprise!
A great tour. The crew was so welcoming. The boat is very nice, and the scenery is beautiful. Our timing was lucky and it was a super small group on board. Max capacity was 40 so even if more crowded it wouldn't have been a big crowd / party boat situation. Lunch was delicious too. We went in the morning and had a gorgeous trip on the water, including fun snorkeling and even sliding and jumping off the boat. Highly recommended family activity. Pura Vida.
This was an amazing tour. We had a group of 19 with many little kids and the crew was fantastic, friendly and made sure everyone was having a great time. The snorkeling was murky but still saw lots of wonderful fish. Lunch was delicious. And we all loved the slide and jumping off the boat. It was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
Great attention, delicious food, perfect experience.
Super Tour. Wir haben Delfine und Schildkröten gesehen. Zum Baden Top, aber eher weniger geeignet zum schnorcheln. Das Essen war sehr lecker.
This tour was so beautiful and fun. The coastline in this area is full of wildlife and scenic views that make it clear why people come back again and again to this area. We saw seaturtles and many different kinds of fish. We enjoyed a cocktail and delicious freshly made meal. It doesn't get much better than that! Bryan and his father and cousin kept us safe and helped us see the beauty of the Manuel Antonio area while also getting some sunshine and if you are fair skinned like me it's nice to know they also provide a lot of shaded area as well on the boat.
Very nice trip. The staff was very friendly and the food and drinks very good. We saw wales and Bryan explained a lot about the area and animals. The swimming, slide and snorkeling was a lot of fun.
