Set off from Playa Tamarindo for a five-hour catamaran cruise that mixes sailing, snorkeling, kayaking and a chef-made Costa Rican lunch. Perfect for photographers, snorkelers and anyone who wants to watch the Pacific slide into color at dusk.

The catamaran slips away from the packed sand of Tamarindo as afternoon light fattens on the Pacific. Sea spray cools the air and the crew passes out cold drinks while the trampolines forward invite long, sun-warmed pauses. On this five-hour outing passengers move from bay crossing to anchored cove—doubling as a seaside living room where kayaks, a paddleboard and snorkel gear expand the day into a small marine playground.
