Whatcha gonna do? A fishing excursion with Bad Boys!
We had a wonderful experience with Byron and bad boys fishing! A local restaurant owner told us that Byron is the only person he recommends for fishing excursion. Everything was easy - from booking the tour to communication about what to expect/bring. We had two little ones with us (3,5 years old) and they were very sweet and helpful with the girls. We caught a huge Mahi mahi! Byron was just as excited for us as we were. They cleaned it right there on the boat and we had delicious ceviche with fresh fruits/guacamole alongside it. We then took the rest of the fish home with us! Highly recommend Byron and bad boys fishing. We also ran into him later at the beach and he helped my husband catch a fish from the shore. He knows his stuff!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was great meeting your family and having you all on board. Thank you again for trusting in us for your fishing adventure and for your recommendation. I hope to see you and your family again the next time you're in Costa Rica! Pura Vida! Byron

Caught a 25 lb yellowfin tuna that fed us for lunch and dinner!
Amazing day on the water for my husband’s birthday!! Chris and Byron were fantastic! We booked and realized the meeting point was almost an hour and a half away. They said for an extra fee they would pick us up right from the beach at our resort. They were so accommodating and that made things so much easier for us! They are very knowledgeable fishermen and helped my boys and husband reel in a 25 lb yellowfin tuna! Chris made us sashimi and tuna tartare with it, and we had a delicious fresh lunch with guacamole and fresh pineapple! We also brought the rest of the fish back to our resort who grilled it for our dinner. When the fish weren’t biting later, they also took us to a beach to explore a cave and do some snorkeling! They were the nicest guys and they made our trip so enjoyable!
Response from the operator: Hola Mindy! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are truly grateful that you chose to celebrate your husband’s birthday with us. It means a lot to hear that Chris and Byron helped make your day special. We will share your comments with Chris and Byron. It was a pleasure having your family on board, and we hope to see you again! Pura Vida! Brenda

I accidentally scheduled...
I accidentally scheduled on the wrong day, and they were so helpful getting it switched. Unfortunately the weather didn't corporate and we cut the day short. The loss of a star is because you don't fish, the guide fishes while you wait.
Response from the operator: Hola Erin! Im really sorry for the weather conditions. We appreciate your comments regarding the fishing experience. Our crew is always available to assist and guide our guests through out the trip, especially when conditions are challenging. Trolling is the most common and effective fishing method in our area, especially when the targeting species are sailfish, mahi-mahi, and tuna. During this technique, the captain or mate may assist with setting lines, monitoring the spread, and handling the boat, while guests wait for a strike and then take over the fight once a fish is hooked. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving and providing the best possible experience for all anglers. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on a better weather day. Pura Vida!

Sailfish
Chris was a fantastic captain as well as his first mate. We did a six hour fishing trip. Landed two big sailfish plus hooked another. Saw schools of dolphins as well. Snacks and cold beverages were well received! Trip was everything we could’ve expected and more. Surely a can’t miss experience
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you had a great day on the water with our crew and enjoying the trip with us is exactly the experience we strive to provide. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back again! Pura Vida! Brenda

Captain Cris and First Mate-personable and professional! Gorgeous views! Caught 2 huge fish!
We were fortunate to hear about Bad Boys Sport Fishing based in Flamingo, Costa Rica! Captain Cris did an excellent job of knowing the great spots in the area for our group to see several dolphins and sailfish! We actually caught TWO LARGE SAILFISH! See the looks of surprise on our faces!! Such a great experience for novice and experienced people. We felt very safe the entire time and really enjoyed the food and beverages on board. We also felt that the our experiences were reasonable priced. Bad Boys Sport Fishing tour group can pick you up at a variety of different beaches as well. Book today!! You will not be disappointed!!! Pura Vida!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you had such an amazing experience with Captain Cris and that you were able to catch two beautiful sailfish! It was a pleasure having you on board, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure. Pura Vida!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Fishing and snorkeling in Playa Flamingo drink and snacks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Flamingo.
How much does Fishing and snorkeling in Playa Flamingo drink and snacks cost?
+
Prices start at $430 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Flamingo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fishing and snorkeling in Playa Flamingo drink and snacks take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Playa Flamingo is not rushed.
Is Fishing and snorkeling in Playa Flamingo drink and snacks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Flamingo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fishing and snorkeling in Playa Flamingo drink and snacks?
+
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 Fishing and snorkeling in Playa Flamingo drink and snacks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fishing and snorkeling in Playa Flamingo drink and snacks?
+
Around 7 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 Playa Flamingo 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 Playa Flamingo and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fishing and snorkeling in Playa Flamingo drink and snacks 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 Playa Flamingo 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 Playa Flamingo?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa Flamingo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure, Tropical Rainforest, Hanging Bridges And Jungle Sloths Sanctuary, Flamingo Family Fun Catamaran Snorkel:Comfortable shaded seating. 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 Playa Flamingo?
+
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 Playa Flamingo?
+
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.
