Full Description
Embark from Marina Pez Vela in Quepos and glide gracefully aboard a spacious catamaran along the Costa Rican Pacific coastline. A friendly, bilingual naturalist guide joins you, pointing out marine life and features along the shoreline. As you sail, enjoy tropical fruit and natural juices while relaxing on deck. For the morning tour, the boat stops in the protected cove of Biesanz Bay, where you can swim and snorkel in calm waters filled with colorful fish. On the afternoon or sunset tour, the emphasis shifts to leisurely cruising and scenic views, culminating in a breathtaking sunset over the Pacific. During the voyage, keep your eyes open for dolphins and, in the right season (July–October, Jan–Feb), humpback whales. A tasty meal (grilled fish, pasta salad, seasonal fruit, or a similar option) is served onboard, allowing you to dine with the sound of waves in the background. After about four hours, the catamaran returns to the marina, and you are transported back to your starting point, refreshed and inspired by the natural beauty you’ve experienced.
