What To Expect
Tamarindo
Set sail along the stunning shores of Marino Las Baulas National Park and Playa Huevo, two hidden gems off the coast of Cabo Velas, Guanacaste. As you cruise past Marino Las Baulas, you’ll see thousands of untouched coastline — beaches like Playa Grande, Ventanas, and Carbón, surrounded by dry tropical forest and mangroves filled with seabirds, pelicans, frigates, and herons. Keep your eyes on the water — you may spot manta rays, playful dolphins, and sea turtles near the surface. From October to February, this area becomes a major nesting site for giant leatherback turtles, giving visitors a chance to see these incredible creatures coming ashore at sunset — a truly unforgettable spectacle. Continuing south, the coastline reveals dramatic cliffs, rocky formations, and hidden coves until you reach the secluded Playa Huevo — a small, private beach surrounded by forest and turquoise waters. Remote, peaceful, and pristine, it’s the kind of place that reminds you why Costa Rica is paradise.
Tamarindo Beach
It’s no wonder Playa Tamarindo is one of Costa Rica’s most visited and top-rated beaches. Praised by TripAdvisor and international media like The Costa Rican News, Tamarindo is the most talked-about beach in the country for its breathtaking sunsets, where the sun melts into the Pacific, lighting the sky with golden, pink, and violet hues you won’t forget. Every evening becomes a living postcard : pelicans gliding above the waves, sunlight dancing on the water, and an atmosphere that blends nature, freedom, and pure life. Visitors call it “the best sunset of their lives” — an experience that needs no filters or words... just being there to feel it. Visiting Tamarindo isn’t just seeing a beach; it’s a moment that shows why Costa Rica is one of the world’s most stunning destinations. When the sun dips below the horizon, you’ll understand why everyone who sees it here dreams of coming back.

5.00Everyone from the start to end was great. I would strongly suggest getting more snorkeling gear, there wasn’t enough for everyone that wanted to snorkel. The food and drinks were very good. We even saw 2 whales on the way back. Love the trip.
Amazing way to spend an afternoon in Tamarindo!

5.00We had a great time! All of the boat guys were awesome and helpful throughout. They were constantly asking if we needed anything, coming around to take our empty cups, etc. The tour itself was amazing as well: beautiful ride and scenery. Plenty of time to relax, snorkel, and swim at the stop too. Highly recommend!
Great customer service

5.00Josue helped us reschedule a trip with a different operator when an overbooking issues occurred. He took care of everything, met us at the beach, and checked us in. The catamaran trip itself was wonderful.
Crew was amazing!

5.00Crew did a great job! Stopped for whales, dolphins, and helped us find the best areas to snorkel to see the tropical fish. Lunch was great too!

5.00Three of us — mom, dad and 16 year old kiddo — and all of us gave this day an A+. The key was the crew. They made the trip safe and fun. While we snorkeled there was someone in a kayak and someone in the water watching out for us. We saw sting rays and the crew was knowledgeable about the fish we saw. The atmosphere was light and fun and by the end all of the guests on the boat were interacting, dancing, just having a great time. We had a blast!
Superb!

5.00First we were a bit unsure because there were a lot of people joining the tour. But when we got on the boat it didn’t feel crowded at all! We all were very surprised and happy with the tour. The personal were great and on their toes during the whole trip. Would recommend both families, partners and friends to go. We saw whales, dolphins and a turtle which was amazing.
Sailing with the whales.
