More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slips away from Tamarindo’s sandy edge and the Pacific breathes against the hull — warm air, a steady trade-wind push, and a horizon that dares you to look further. Guests board from the beach via a short dinghy transfer; crew members in white shirts hand out cold drinks and a quick safety briefing as the shoreline slides aft.
