About
A locally run Guanacaste tour operator best known for kayaking-and-snorkeling trips out to the island, where guides walk you through safety first and then point out hermit crabs, eels, and fish — and share the community's coral-regrowth work along the coast. Brandon comes up again and again as a patient, knowledgeable guide; Javier gets the same for the turtle-nesting tour. Great for first-timers and families.

We had a great trip out kayaking and snorkeling. Brandon was a great guide. It was awesome to learn about the work the community is doing trying to regrow coral around the island and coastal areas. We loved seeing the fish, eels, and even the little hermit crabs. Don’t forget to pack reef safe sunscreen, or better yet buy some locally!
We had booked a tour with Carrillo for dolphin watching and snorkelling but because of the weather - it was changed to sea kayaking and snorkelling and we are so happy that it changed! We were with another two people and our guide was Brandon and he took us through all the safety precautions before the kayak and gave us clear and confident instructions. Once we reached the island - Brandon told us all about the nature on the island we were able to see so many hermit crabs!!! It was a really great tour and it was great to do an activity we hadn’t done before and Brandon and his colleague who was with him went above and beyond! Many thanks Carrillo.
I did the kayak and snorkeling activity with my husband and two kids (ages 8 and 10). It was their first time kayaking and snorkeling, and they absolutely loved it. Brandon was a great guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He took us to two different snorkeling spots, which really enriched the experience for all of us.
