Join our Dolphin & Snorkeling Catamaran Adventure for an immersive 3½-hour voyage along Costa Rica’s Guanacaste coast. Your journey begins with a comfortable transfer from your hotel in Sámara or Puerto Carrillo to the sleek, spacious catamaran dock. A bilingual naturalist guide will introduce you to the region’s marine ecosystem as you sip chilled water and light snacks on deck.

Once offshore, scan the horizon for pods of playful spinner and bottlenose dolphins—resident year-round in Samara Bay. Learn about their feeding and social behaviors through live commentary, then drift into a sheltered cove for a guided snorkeling session. Slip beneath the surface to explore colourful coral gardens alive with parrotfish, pufferfish, angelfish, and the occasional sea turtle gliding by.

Throughout the trip, enjoy panoramic vistas of the Nicoya Peninsula and Costa Rica’s Pacific sunsets (if you opt for a later departure), all while feeling the gentle ocean breeze and embracing the Pura Vida lifestyle. Whether you’re an avid wildlife enthusiast or simply seeking a serene ocean escape, this tour combines adventure, education, and relaxation for a truly unforgettable coastal experience.
