LUNCH: 8/10

We had our lunch at the restaurant next to the Delphines 2 enclosure. A buffet lunch is included with the plus entry and it was delicious! The selection was good, particularly the seafood, the food was hotter and tastier than the buffet restaurant at our hotel.

Drinks are included but limited to coffee and watery fruit juices.

 

You also get extra tickets for drinks throughout the day. These can be used at the bars, restaurants and stalls throughout the park.

 

SEA TREK: 7/10

We then did the sea trek which is the underwater helmet walk. This was my least favourite activity.

It is definately an experience if you are unlikely to go underwater any other way. For anyone not accustomed or comfortable being in the water this is the perfect opportunity as all you have to do is walk around on the sea bed holding onto a handrail.

The best thing for me was being able to see the reactions of my family, some of which are really nervous in the water and would never have the experience of being submerged, surrounded by fish any other way.

The guide takes a bait ball down so at certain points in the walk there are a lot of fish feeding and swimming around you as you pass through.

Our whole group enjoyed it overall.

We were allowed to take our camera down with us and one of the guides even took our picture with it.

I personally have back problems and I felt that the helmets were heavy, uncomfortable and cumbersome. I found the whole thing to be quite disorientating and the noise inside the helmet is really loud.

I had backache and a stiff neck the next day.

I much prefer scuba diving to this. If you do dive unless you are doing this like we did as a "family" activity. I dont think you will get a lot from this.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
