Don't Just Take
Our Word For It

"From the moment we stepped aboard, Martin, Brim, and Carlos were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They let us set the pace of the tour, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. During the trip, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles, a pair of dolphins, a howler monkey, pelicans, a Jesus Christ lizard, and even a pair of scarlet macaws. It was an unforgettable mix of wildlife sightings! Despite booking the tour last minute, Martin stayed in constant contact with us, which we really appreciated. While my wife chose to stay on board, I went snorkeling—even though I can’t swim. Martin provided a life jacket and stayed in the water with me the entire time to make sure I felt safe. I ended up spending almost 20 minutes in the water, seeing all kinds of colorful fish and even a small jellyfish. As a vegan couple, we were especially touched by the effort Martin made to accommodate our diet. He surprised us with a delicious mango ceviche, fresh watermelon and papaya, and refreshing coconut water.Thank you for a wonderful experience and the great videos to remember it by. We highly recommend this private tour to anyone looking for a personalized, nature-filled adventure!"

"Definitely one of the top five experiences in my life, and I have been to the Galapagos and Raja Ampat for example. We were barely out of Golfito Bay, and we already saw a turtle and a dolphin. We were extremely lucky, because there was a whale shark nearby and we got the chance to see it! We saw many rays and more dolphins, including a mom and the baby. We saw macaws flying by, and the bay with the jungle growing next to it is simply beautiful. Carlos and Bram were wonderful, really paid attention to our wishes and we had a simply perfect tour - even though it was the first boat trip of my 3 year old and I was a little concerned how he will handle half day on the boat. Everything was wonderful! I hope we will be back and now I definitely want to spend more time in the area."

"Our family of 10, 6 adults and 4 children ages 5-12, had an amazing time with Bram and Carlos! The boat was spotless, fruit snacks so good! The wildlife we saw, sea turtles, scarlet macaws and a pod of dolphins feeding on the surface, just to name a few!! It was definitely the highlight of our trip. It’s in a beautiful part of Costa Rica. We never felt rushed and they were very good with our grandchildren. Our family highly recommend this amazing tour!! 🇨🇦"

"We had an amazing experience with Rio Leon Tours. Bram and Carlos took us out on the water and showed us some really cool things!!!!! Couple highlights were the macaws, dolphins and cows. We got to snorkel and it’s so much nicer than a big group because you go at your own pace. It was terrific experience at an awesome price. Would 100% recommend"

"We had an absolutely amazing private family boat trip with Rio Leon Tours! From start to finish, everything was perfect. We got to see whales up close, playful dolphins, and so much beautiful wildlife along the way. The stop at a secluded beach for a private walk was just magical. Our captain and guide were incredible — knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It made the experience even more special. We were so impressed and grateful for such a wonderful day on the water. We’ll definitely come again….highly, highly recommended!"

"We have just returned from the most amazing private tour with Bram and Carlos from Rio Leon Tours. We requested a combination of dolphin watching and snorkelling (all tours are tailored to your requests) - the reality far exceeded our expectations. Expert boat handling led to us being surrounded by dolphins and then taken to explore hidden beaches before snorkelling on a developing reef. HUGE thank you! I highly recommend this company."
