The boat eases from the dock as the air cools and the Pacific opens like a dark glass, the wake hissing softly behind you. On this three-hour sunset and snorkeling cruise from Dreams Las Mareas, the ocean takes the lead: currents that nudge you toward gravelly shoals, waves that clap the hull, and a horizon that stages the evening.

The Guanacaste coast combines volcanic geology and a long coastal fishing tradition; many snorkeling points form where lava flows met the ocean and created reef structure.
Conservation

Bring a personal snorkel mask if you have one

Chemical sunscreens harm coral; use mineral-based sunscreen or a UV shirt to protect reefs during the snorkel.
