Description

This tour is great for all ages and interests. You choose where we go (conditions permitting), how long we spend in each spot, and how active (snorkeling, swimming, going ashore, maybe even doing some tow tubing?) or leisurely (just sitting and watching the world float by) you wish to be. Is snorkeling your priority? If so, we'll head to some of the best spots in the area! Want to go ashore at one of the most beautiful beaches in the area, accessible only by boat? Let's do it! Looking to add some new birds to your Merlin life list? We'll help you look for them! Prefer the scenery to being in the water? We can accommodate that! As a suggested itinerary, we will depart Potrero Bay, and tour the coast, heading first to the south to the white shell beaches of Playa Conchal (usually accessible only by dining or staying at the properties there, or via a 30 min. unshaded walk). This is one of the beaches you see on postcards. Then heading back north past Playa Flamingo, Playas Penca & Prieta, Las Catalinas, and more beautiful coastline, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while the Captain keeps an eye out for turtles, dolphins, sea birds, and seasonal wildlife (humpback whales July - Oct, Manta Rays Dec - Mar, . We will visit what many consider to be one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica (Playa L’Amour - accessible only by boat). 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.


There you can snorkel in crystal clear water, go ashore and explore, or just float in the water, or stretch out in the shade on the boat and leave the exploring to others! We time our visit to be there when the large “party cats” are not there, ensuring a more peaceful and private experience. We will serve a light lunch aboard the boat before returning to Potrero Bay.

Please note that inflatables participants must be at least 8 years old.
