Detailed itinerary

Departing from Playas del Coco at 1:30 pm you will enjoy 4 1/2 hour sail along Costa Rica's spectacular coastline on a purpose built catamaran that is large, open and spacious.
We sail along the Gold Coast searching for some of the varied sea life including whales, dolphins, turtles, flying fish, rays and a wide variety of sea birds.
Eventually we pull into a secluded bay, throw anchor and allow passengers to swim in the warm Costa Rican waters. Life vests, pool noodles and snorkel equipment are available should weather conditions permit.
Following our time in the water, a lunch is served (at approximately 4:30 pm).
Our tour includes a premium open bar including a variety of beverages, mixes and a blender to make that extra special tropical drink.
After lunch we pull anchor, raise the sails and casually motor sail across the bay and back towards Playas del Coco. We arrive at port as the sun nears the horizon and the sky explodes into a multitude of colors.
