Set out from Playa Sámara or Puerto Carrillo aboard a sleek motorboat for our Dolphin & Snorkeling Tour along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. As you glide over Samara Bay’s crystal waters, your licensed bilingual guide will help you spot spinner and bottlenose dolphins playing in their natural habitat. Afterwards, we’ll anchor in a protected cove for a guided snorkeling exploration of vibrant coral reefs—keep an eye out for parrotfish, pufferfish, and even sea turtles. Between activities, enjoy panoramic views of the Nicoya Peninsula and learn about local marine ecology from your expert guide. This 3½-hour excursion perfectly balances wildlife encounters with relaxed ocean time, leaving you with priceless memories of Costa Rica’s coastal wonders.

Please note that the snorkeling portion of the tour is optional and subject to weather and sea conditions. If your main interest is snorkeling, we recommend booking our Ocean Kayak & Snorkeling Tour to Chora Island for a more immersive experience.
