Set sail from Tamarindo aboard a private 40-foot catamaran for snorkeling, paddleboarding and an open bar as the Pacific paints the sky. This four-hour sunset cruise blends easy adventure with local flavors and uninterrupted ocean views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slips away from Tamarindo’s shore as late afternoon light softens the jungle-draped headlands. Salt air pushes against the hull, the crew cracks a welcome drink, and the ocean opens—flat glass broken only by frolicking dolphins and the occasional fishing boat heading home. On a private forty-foot catamaran you move at the pace of wind and tide, trading the beach bustle for a broad horizon and a wide teak deck to stretch out on.
