Disappointed! Not like picture at all!
Very disappointed! Boat did not look like the picture….small with one slide…no lounge chairs on upper deck. Swim, snorkel time was chaotic……..to say the least.Drinks were awful! No beer , watered down terrible drinks! Dinner was average. 1000.00 for the eleven of us! Crew was friendly and hard working! Snorkeling was poor . Not worth it!
Response from the operator: Hello dear friend, we are very sorry for your experience. We would like to know if this is correct comment, becuase we do have upper deck, and it is very rare for us to receive comments about our coctails and meal on board. We would like to know more about your experience to confirm it was in our boat , and if so, we will be happy to give you a partitial refund. My name is Adrian Martinez - Iguana Tours.

Great, fun experience ... very scenic
My wife and I took the catamaran tour today and had a great time. Everything was perfect. The driver picked us up next door to our lodgings and we met up at the Marina Pez Vela with the rest of the 30 participants. The boat was clean, the crew were all very friendly and helpful (special shout out to Jimina and Allan!) ad the trip was very scenic. After cruising for a while, we had time to swim/snorkeling before we were served a delicious casado lunch. Drinks were unlimited, too. It could not have been a better experience ... and the other guests were great, too. Very fun way to spend part of a day in Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio. We would highly recommend this to anyone.
Response from the operator: Good morning from Iguana Tours office. We love to ready such a great comment you post about our Catamaran Cruise Tour. Thank you and hope to see you back again here in Costa Rica. Pura Vida - Adrian Martinez - Iguana Tours

Cancelled boat trip but no refund
We booked a boat trip for the last day of our holiday, but it was cancelled 1 hour before allegedly due to a problem with the boat. I chased a refund several times, but did not receive anything back. In the end we had to claim through our credit card.
Response from the operator: Hello dear friends on behalf Iguana Tours, we would like to know when this happened becuase we do not have any last minute cancellations or situations like the one you mentioned. We do not have this kind of behavoir in our operation. Unless there were a strong wheather situation. Please feel free to contact me at adrian@iguanatours.com for any further assistance. Pura Vida and best regards. Adrian Martinez - Iguana Tours.

Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quepos.
How much does Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio cost?
+
Prices start at $3,200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quepos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quepos is not rushed.
Is Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 166 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quepos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio?
+
Around 58 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quepos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quepos and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quepos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quepos?
+
On Outty we rank every Quepos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Waterfall Adventure, Manuel Antonio Canopy Tour - Longest Twin Zip Line in Central America, Manuel Antonio Park Tour and its Amazing Wildlife and Beaches. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quepos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quepos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Use of snorkeling equipment; Snacks; and Lunch. Not included: Bottled water; and Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 22 listed pickup locations in and around Quepos. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Catamaran Tour Manuel Antonio?
+
Across 166 reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, photo opportunities, the guide. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers.
