Discover the hidden gem of Isla Chora with our Ocean Kayak & Snorkel Tour departing from Playa Sámara. A licensed bilingual guide will welcome you on the sand, walk you through essential kayak safety tips, and chart the calmest route across Samara Bay. In less than 30 minutes of easy paddling, you’ll reach the protected refuge of Smuggler’s Island, where iguanas bask on sun-warmed rocks, inquisitive raccoons forage among the tide pools, and seabirds wheel overhead.

Slip into crystal-clear shallows for an up-close snorkel, spotting vibrant reef fish and the occasional graceful turtle. Between adventures, refuel with fresh fruit, water, and juice—plus the option to unwind with a cold domestic beer. As the tide turns, your guide will time your return leg for the smoothest ride back to Playa Sámara. This 2½-hour excursion promises a perfect blend of wildlife encounters, coastal scenery, and Pura Vida relaxation.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however.
