About this experience
Sail the Pacific on a small-group sunset catamaran from Tamarindo and discover Costa Rica’s coastline from every angle.
Snorkel among tropical fish, paddleboard, kayak, or simply float with pool noodles at a secluded beach far from the crowds. Depending on the season, you may spot dolphins, sea turtles, or even majestic humpback whales.
Relax on deck or in shaded areas while enjoying 360° rooftop views from our beanbag lounge.
A friendly local crew and soft tropical music set the perfect mood as you savor freshly prepared food, tropical fruits, and a full open bar.
As we sail back toward Tamarindo, the Pacific sky turns gold and coral — a breathtaking Costa Rican sunset that turns every moment into a memory.
