Dream On Fishing tours are absolutely the best! The crew is so experienced that a day with them is a good fishing day guaranteed! Loretta is a very nice boat, lay down and enjoy the beers, the snacks and the view and be ready to reel! The captain won’t miss an opportunity to see some dolphins or whales either! Thanks for the trip Rick!! We had a great Valentine’s Day!!

Best Witches Rock surf tour and coaching!! My boyfriend Michael and I have used GoSouth on numerous occasions from surfing to all day boating adventures with the family. With every tour and adventure they have succeeded our expectations!! Not only does Walter take you to Witches (best place to surf), but he is one of the best surfing coaches that I have had in the water with me. He made me feel so comfortable and gave me useful tips that have improved my surfing. He also was helpful with advance surf coaching for my boyfriend that has surfed for 15+years. Not only is he good with adults, but our daughters both loved his beginner lesson at Iguanitas. I can not recommend this company enough including their boat tours with the family.... where we went to secluded beaches, donut rides behind the boat, snorkeling, the best homemade guac, catching fish, and Walter has an eye for spotting all the sea life, which made the whole trip for the kids! We saw all three types of dolphins, manta rays, beautiful fish and so much more! It wouldn’t be a trip to Costa Rica without using GoSouth and that’s why we continue to use them each time we return to Papagayo. Please support this local family owned company... you won’t be disappointed!

It was an amazing experience, I went with my parents and they loved the tour It consists of a wagon that goes through the Tarcolitos river, with the birds singing, and diferent trees and plants. The customer service is great, and the walk thru Santa Lucía's village is an unforgettable experience.
