Indulge in an awaking catamaran cruise along the scenic Guanacaste coast with opportunities to swim, snorkel, and kayak. This is the ideal time to enjoy sea life at its most active. You cannot miss the chance to enjoy a Costa Rican catamaran. Get picked up from your accommodations or head to Flamingo Beach to meet your skilled captain and climb aboard a luxury catamaran. From here, cruise north along the coast dotted with idyllic homes, tropical forest, and secret surf destinations. Before long, arrive at a secluded bay—the optimal setting for some watersports during your catamaran sailing tour. Don a mask and flippers and plunge beneath the whitecaps to uncover a coral reef teeming with colorful fish or grab a paddle and slide into a sleek kayak or standup paddleboard.

This was a fantastic trip for us! We reserved the morning tour with Lazy Lizard and lucked out with no other group booked in with us. We had Captain Josue with crew Anderson and Dennis and they were all so amazing! We got picked up at our Airbnb and the crew took our group of 4 adults and 7 kids (ages 18 months to 14 years) on a small boat to the catamaran in the harbor. They served up endless drinks (including Shirley temples for the kids) on our boat ride out to a quiet cove where we swam, kayaked and paddle boarded to the beach for about an hour. Then they served up a great lunch which included something for everyone (vegetarian burritos, pasta salad, garden salad, fruit, chips and pico, and cookies). Water visibility was not great for snorkeling due to it being the rainy season but we saw some fish, crabs, sea turtles, and dolphins. Overall I would highly recommend this reservation if you are looking for an adventure near Playa Flamingo. If you are prone to sea sickness premedication is a must!

We had the chance to do the morning outing which was practically a private tour. We've seen whales and turtles up close. The crew is very friendly!!! Music, drinks, delicious meals, everything was perfect! The owners are too kind Canadians! Thank you for this wonderful morning!

We had great experience on this boat with a dynamic group of people there were 11 of us in our party, ages 6-88 years old. I can not say enough about the captain and two other crew members on the boat. I feel terrible because I can not remember the names and wanted to give them a shout out but they were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure my grandmother was safe and able to enjoy what may be her last adventures in life. Beautiful day on the Catamaran. We took the morning tour in hopes of seeing more wild life. Unfortunately we did not see much but can't hold the crew responsible for that. The boat was slightly crowded but this was not unexpected for me, we did not book a private tour. The crew did a great job managing all the people of the boat with their own various needs. The boat is beautiful and well maintained. The food was excellent and wishing I could go back for more spicy salsa and pineapple salsa. Again thank you to the captain and crew for your amazing service! Pura Vida !

We had a great time and enjoyed the morning catamaran. Good food, music, and nice people. We’d definitely do it again if we make it back to CR!

The cruise was beautiful, and lots of fun! We loved our crew, as they made everything about the day fun! The food and drinks were delicious and plentiful. The only complaint was the communication. We were confused about where to meet, or how we would get there. It all worked out, but more communication on their end would’ve been nice.

The crew were amazing, especially with old overweight me with terrible balance and bad knees. They picked us up promptly, got us on the ship safely, were friendly and helpful, and served the best food I have ever gotten on such a cruise (I've been on at least seven.) We saw lots and lots of dolphins, got to snorkel/swim/play on a giant float. Ate a great early lunch, when we returned our bus drivers got us swiftly back to our AirBNB. Would and will go again. Great value for the money. Especially want to thank Junior, Franklin, and Danny. They were so helpful.

We had such an amazing morning catamaran and we would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing and fun trip! The team picked us up on time from the beach and we headed out to the beautiful boat. We rode out to honeymoon beach and Nico led us in a snorkeling tour where we saw some cool fish. From the boat we saw a sea turtle as Eric was making us a delicious lunch! The team of Josue, Nico and Eric made our trip amazing and were so hospitable!
