Activity Overview:
Something good is that Costa Rica offers body-temperature water with few humans and abundant marine life. If you are looking for fine opportunities to see massive schools of fish, as well as larger marine animals such as turtles, sharks, dolphins and whales, then jump right in. There are decent places sites that can be explored on a discovery basis. There are opportunities for good snorkelling in Costa Rica, though great locations are few and far between. Due to this, most Costa Rica snorkelling tours are run in combination with other activities such as hiking, kayaking or a catamaran cruise.
Top 3 Tours:
Location: Puerto Viejo.
Description: Cahuita National Park has the largest system of Coral Reefs in Costa Rica, including 6 species of coral, a wide range of colorful tropical fishes and the occasional encounter of a harmless reef shark or stingray. This beach has a horse shoe shape, with the entrance of the park at one end and beautiful Punta Cahuita at the other end. We start with a scenic 20 minute boat ride to have two snorkeling sessions. While in the water you will follow a guide, a Cahuita native and nature specialist, who will explain the coral reef and the lush wildlife. Then we get drop off at the Punta to enjoy a delicious fruit and snacks break at the beach followed by a 1 hour guided hike in this wonderful coastal forest: monkeys, sloths, birds, poison dart frogs, iguanas and other interesting encounters are common.

Description: A wonderful day at the beautiful white sand beach of Tortuga Island, riding on a world class yacht catamaran, enjoying gourmet dining featured in Gourmet Magazine.

In the afternoon, you will cruise past many of the islands in the Gulf of Nicoya taking a different route back to port; important to not only foreign travellers to see and learn more of Costa Rica’s history but also for national tourism and those who want to see up close, maybe for the first time, the beautiful and protected uninhabited islands and bird sanctuaries in the Gulf of Nicoya accessible only by water. After passing the now closed famous prison Island San Lucas you will witness a beautiful sunset.
