A day at sea that quietly redefined bliss. We set sail for Bahía Concha under a sky so blue it felt borderline fictional, the kind of weather you’d accuse a travel brochure of over-promising. The crew – who spoke little English but radiated charm and ease – were masters of the unspoken gesture: a nod here, a grin there, a drink delivered with the timing of a seasoned comic. There was the slow hum of waves, the occasional burst of laughter, and that delicious sense that nothing else needed to happen. We swam in water so clear you could see your better self reflected back. Lunch was simple but lovely, fresh fish, crisp salad, and rice that somehow tasted like the sea had personally seasoned it. Communication didn’t need translation; everything important was conveyed in warmth, rhythm, and the universal language of people who love the ocean. A day that asked nothing of us but our presence and rewarded it, completely.

It's very easy to find the meeting point if you follow the instructions WhatsApped to you in the morning. The crew were all lovely, they didn't speak English so it's good to have some basic Spanish to get by or hope there are others that can help but it didn't hinder anything. The ride over was very bumpy so if you to get motion/sea sick it would be wise to take something but it was less so on the way back and again it didn't dampen the experience for me at all. The beach was lovely , we had our little spot and it wasn't busy at all. There were options to snorkel and paddle board. Lunch was provided and lovely. Gorgeous views from the ocean and a lovely beach, would definitely recommend this experience!

the boat trip was a bit rough due to high waves and going against the wind, the way back was much smoother. the personnel was great, told is a lot about the coast line, history of the park and the boat. super friendly. the final destination beach was okay, a bit crowded because of the number of boat going there. we had snorkeling equipment and sup boards available for free. lunch was great with fresh grilled fish. highly recommended tour
