Your journey begins in the morning with a scenic boat ride from Puerto Viejo toward the Gandoca-Manzanillo National Refuge. The adventure kicks off with an exciting dolphin-spotting session where you may encounter two incredible species: the friendly bottlenose dolphin and the agile Tucuxi. With a high chance of sightings, this is one of the best places in Costa Rica for responsible dolphin watching.
Next, the tour heads to the vibrant coral reefs of Punta Mona. Here, you’ll snorkel among colorful fish, coral formations, and possibly even harmless reef sharks. The clear Caribbean waters make it ideal for both beginners and experienced snorkelers.
The boat then takes you to a spectacular hidden beach — a remote paradise untouched by crowds. Enjoy freshly cut pineapple, relax in the sun, swim in crystal-clear waters, and soak in the peaceful natural beauty.
The experience concludes in lively Puerto Viejo, where you’ll savor an authentic Caribbean-style lunch prepared using traditional local flavors. With friendly guides, responsible wildlife practices, and breathtaking scenery, this tour delivers a true taste of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
