Discover the unparalleled beauty of Costa Rica’s North Pacific coast with our private snorkeling charters from Ritz-Carlton Reserve Nekajui, located in the spectacular Papagayo Peninsula of Guanacaste. Guests staying at Nekajui can enjoy half-day or full-day private snorkeling trips aboard a luxury catamaran or yacht, departing directly from the beach in front of the resort.
Whether you are looking for a relaxed family adventure, a romantic day at sea, or a premium ocean experience, our charters offer the finest way to explore the vibrant marine life of Papagayo in total comfort and exclusivity.
The Gulf of Papagayo is famous for its calm waters, dramatic coastline, and abundant marine wildlife. Each charter includes high-quality snorkeling gear and a knowledgeable crew who will take you to the best snorkeling site of the day, selecting a more secluded cove or pristine reef where visibility and marine activity are ideal.
Common sightings include colorful tropical fish, rays, eels, sea turtles, and—during certain seasons—even dolphins and whales cruising through the gulf.
Guests can choose between a spacious private catamaran or an elegant yacht, both equipped for comfort, safety, and fun. Every snorkeling charter from Ritz-Carlton Nekajui includes a variety of in-water and onboard amenities:
Professional snorkeling equipment for all ages
Paddle boards for calm-water exploration
Fishing rods for light recreational fishing
Kayak for coastal discovery
Floating mats for relaxing in the ocean
Open bar with premium beverages
Delicious fresh-made food prepared onboard
These amenities create the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and luxury, fully aligned with the Ritz-Carlton Reserve experience.
Your journey begins the moment you step onto the boat. Our private charters depart right from the beach at Ritz-Carlton Nekajui, offering unmatched convenience and seamless service from start to finish. As we sail along the Papagayo Peninsula, you will enjoy breathtaking views of untouched coves, volcanic rock formations, and lush tropical forest meeting the sea.
Along the route, the captain will choose the ideal hidden spot where the water is clearest for snorkeling that day.
Perfect for families or guests seeking a shorter adventure, the half-day charter offers plenty of time for snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, and enjoying the open bar and gourmet snacks while anchored in a secluded bay.
For the ultimate ocean experience, the full-day option allows more time to visit multiple snorkeling sites, enjoy a full gourmet meal, relax onboard, explore beaches, or try all included water toys at your own pace.
