Snorkeling & Secret Beaches Half Day - SMALL GROUP TOUR (Max 6)

THE LAS CATALINAS ISLANDS ARE NOT JUST FOR SCUBA DIVERS! This is one of the best snorkeling spots in the area! On this 1/2 day (4-5-hour) private snorkeling tour, you will enjoy 1-3 snorkeling stops (depending on conditions and interest in staying in a spot versus trying another) in the Catalinas / North Island area. Enjoy the underwater world of colorful fish, rays, sharks, turtles, and more. Although we never know what we will see, it is rarely disappointing! We will load the boat from Potrero and then after about a 40-minute ride, we will arrive the Las Catalinas and North Island area. The captain will select a good starting spot based on tides and conditions, and then it will be up to you how long we stay in that spot versus try another. You will have the choice snorkeling on your own, or going with our professional snorkel guide (one of the best int the area!) We will have snacks, fresh fruit and cold drinks on board. (No alcohol.) On the return ride to Potrero Bay, we will watch for whales (seasonal) and dolphins.Please note that this is a tour specifically and primarily for snorkeling. It is recommended that participants be competent/confident swimmers and be comfortable in ocean conditions. This is not a dangerous or scary tour by any means, but people who are new to the ocean or not confident in their swimming abilities may enjoy themselves more on one of our other tours. If you are interested in snorkeling and/or "secret beaches" and/or coast exploring, etc., our Mid-Day "Snorkeling and Secret beaches" tour or early morning "Coffee & Coasting" are probably a better fit. Please also note that although the intent of this tour is to go to Las Catalinas Islands, there is not a guarantee that we will be able to go there. If the captain determines the conditions are not right, we will find another snorkeling spot (e.g. Brummel Islands, Playa Minas) that also have good snorkeling. (Best odds for being able to go Las Catalinas is May - August.) This tour is scheduled to depart at 7am and return at approximately 11:30am. If you have special requests, are looking for a custom tour, etc., please use the "Contact Us" link to reach out! We love doing custom tours!

This 4-hour tour combines some beach-hopping, wildlife spotting, floating in some of the most beautiful tropical water you will ever experience, and coast exploring. You can snorkel as well (but if snorkeling is a passion, you would be better to choose a morning tour - visibility, clarity and surface conditions are generally better in the morning for snorkeling.)Guanacaste is known for its spectacular sunsets, and when you combine a Guanacaste sunset with the magic of being out on the water as twilight gently blankets the coast, and the harbor lights start to come on, you will understand why this is one of our most popular tours. On this tour you will enjoy:·       Scenic coast tour, showcasing some of the beautiful beaches of the areaOptional snorkeling, swimming, floatingWine, beer, mojitos and appetizers served as we watch the sunset from the boatReturn to Potrero Bay right after sunset, as twilight sets in on the beautiful coastThis is one of our most popular tours, and on this private tour, the boat is limited to just your party (max 6 adults). OUR PRIVATE TOURS ARE MORE AFFORDABLE THAN YOU THINK!

Want to enjoy this beautiful coast at its most peaceful, and then get on with the rest of your day before everyone else has even finished breakfast? This is the tour for you! The boat will be limited to your party only (1 - 6 passengers), so you can decide where we go and how long we spend there. Our suggested itinerary is to enjoy a leisurely tour as we “coast the coast,” departing Potrero Bay and heading north past Playas Penca & Prieta, Las Catalinas, and more. We can stop to look closer at anything that captures your attention. One of our favorite stops is what many consider to be one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica (Playa L’Amour, also known as "Honeymoon Beach." - accessible only by boat). Enjoy coffee, tea, juice & an assortment of fruit and pastries as the Captain keeps an eye out for turtles, dolphins, birds, and seasonal wildlife. At Playa L’Amour, you will have the option to go ashore (conditions permitting), swim, snorkel, or stay on the boat and enjoy the scenery and some of the most beautiful water you will ever see.
