Guests staying at Planet Hollywood Beach Resort in Guanacaste, Costa Rica can enjoy one of the region’s most spectacular ocean outings: a private sailing and snorkeling charter along the turquoise waters of the Papagayo Peninsula. Our half-day and full-day catamaran or yacht excursions are designed for travelers who want comfort, adventure, and personalized service while exploring the best hidden bays and marine hotspots of northern Costa Rica.
The Pacific waters surrounding Papagayo are known for their clear visibility, volcanic rock formations, and thriving marine life. During your private snorkeling session, you may encounter:
Vibrant tropical reef fish
Pufferfish, angelfish, wrasses, and surgeonfish
Spotted eagle rays or stingrays
Curious eels
And frequently, sea turtles
Our crew selects quiet, uncrowded spots ideal for snorkeling, making this experience perfect for beginners as well as seasoned ocean lovers.
All snorkeling equipment is included, and your guide will accompany you in the water to point out interesting marine species.
While snorkeling is a highlight, our charters offer much more. Every trip from Planet Hollywood includes:
Stand-up paddle boards
Floating mats for relaxing in the water
Fishing rods for fun, light-tackle inshore fishing
Comfortable shaded seating
Music and spacious decks for lounging and enjoying the ocean breeze
You are free to snorkel, swim, paddle, sunbathe, or simply sit back with a drink while taking in the incredible coastal scenery.

Dolphins swimming alongside the boat
Sea turtles floating near the surface
Humpback whales, especially during seasonal migrations (July–October and December–March)
These encounters happen often and add an unforgettable touch to your private sailing experience.
