    the crew went above and beyond

    Quepos Mangrove Tour (AM) • 4 adults

    The mangrove fishing trip was a highlight of our trip. The crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. One of them even jumped in the water to retrieve a fish that entered the mangrove root system! We had a great time!

    Reported catch:
    Cubera Snapper

    Tough day on the water, strong tide and hot weather

    Quepos Mangrove Tour (AM) • 6 adults

    We should have caught more fish to but I kept missing the hook sets. We caught one nice red snapper but nobody that we passed was doing any better. The crew was knowledgeable and worked hard but some days are just like that.
