If you’re vacationing in Playa Grande, Guanacaste, one of the most unforgettable ocean adventures you can enjoy is a private snorkeling charter aboard a luxury catamaran or yacht. Our all-inclusive half-day and full-day snorkeling trips take you along the stunning North Pacific coastline in search of the most vibrant underwater habitats, offering a personalized and exclusive experience ideal for couples, families, and small groups.
Each charter departs conveniently from the Playa Grande area and cruises toward a more secluded and pristine snorkeling site, chosen daily based on the best ocean conditions. These untouched bays and rocky reefs are home to abundant marine life, allowing guests to discover Costa Rica’s rich underwater world away from crowded beaches
Expect to encounter colorful reef fish, sea turtles, rays, and eels, while the more open ocean sections may occasionally bring sightings of dolphins—and depending on the season, even humpback whales.

Captain and certified guide
Delicious freshly prepared food
Full open bar with cocktails, beer, soft drinks & juices
Paddle boards for extra fun
