Fernando was awesome and the trip was fun, the boat ride amazing and Yelepa is beautiful. The only thing that annoyed me was the horse ride that we booked. The little kid who led the horses kept asking me for money all the way up to the waterfall. I gave him a tip at the waterfall and then he kept asking me for money all the way back down so I tipped him again at the end of the horse ride. For this reason I would not recommend the horse ride to the waterfall but that has nothing to do with Fernando or his tour. He was amazing and his tour is awesome. Don't hesitate to book it.

Unforgettable experience with my fiancé! Surprised fishing tour for my birthday and it was a beyond exceptional day. Tour guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and hospitable throughout the whole day. We saw a collection of different animals, from humpback whales, manta rays, Bonita fish, variety of birds, and of course the best catch of the day - Mahi Mahi! They provided us with snacks, fresh guac, and margaritas throughout the day. At the end of the trip, they cleaned/filet our fish and we took it back to our hotel to get it cooked.

Such a good tour! We saw so much wildlife including humpbacks, manta rays, and all kids of interesting birds. The hosts were so hospitable and knowledgeable to the area. Very professional and kind. We had also only been fishing one other time so we needed a lot of assistance when catching the big fish but they were extremely patient with us and helped us catch a 25 pound mahi mahi! Would highly recommend!

We had another great trip with Mixon and Fernando. This time we headed North out of the Marina for a 3 hour sunset cruise. As always, they were professional, polite, knowledgeable about the area and the sea. We never lacked for a cocktail and the guacamole was phenomenal. Fernando knew how to maneuver the boat so we did not miss 1 second of the gorgeous sunset. Don’t miss a trip with La Vida Bella. It truly is a beautiful life!

This was an awesome experience!!! The captain, Fernando, and Nixon were excellent guides. They have a ton of experience and knowledge with fishing and helped us land a huge Toro fish! That fish put up a fight and they were right there to help us land it! They were excellent hosts and provided us with whatever we needed: fishing poles, snacks, drinks, as well as all of the interesting facts and history about PV. A great experience, clean boat and masked staff, we could not have asked for anything more. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would. Cant wait to book my next trip with them again.
