BONA VIDA
DAY PASS TO THE Rosario Islands
So first up, the Bona Vida is a beautiful boat. It seems close to brand new and has stunning design and finishings and convenient inclusions such as full kitchen, bathrooms and stairs that lead down directly to the water from the boat which if you've ever had to try and haul yourselves, soggy and ungracefully, up onto a boat, I'm sure you'll be grateful for.
The day pass is a full day trip to the Rosario Islands where the getting-there is just as enjoyable as the destination itself. The big boat is spacious so you don't feel cramped, there's a bar serving drinks, you'll enjoy a tasty seafood rice or vegetarian rice for lunch, there's padding everywhere so you can swan around and take selfies in style or just sleep off the hangover from the night before. You'll get to check out and tour around the different islands that make up the archipelago of the Rosario Islands and they even include snorkel gear complimentarily.
In my experience, the crowd has been varied.. I've seen groups of both sexes who are on board to party or celebrate bachelor/bachelorette etc so it might be a good option if you're looking for party/meeting people options. But then it's also ok for kids because it isn't rough and they enter at a discounted price. There's loud, party music most of the journey so if that is bothersome this might not be for you.
Overall I think it's an awesome option to get to experience the rosario islands in comfortable luxury.
The prices are 258,000 pesos for adults, 129,000 pesos 7-14 yrs, and free for everyone else.
This includes:
Welcome cocktail (can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
snack
lunch (seafood rice or vegetarian rice)
non-alcoholic drinks with lunch
snorkel equipment
all marine taxes (so that's usually 16,500 pesos pp)
