Our expert guides will take you to ecologically rich areas, where the Costa Rican ocean bursts with life.
This immersive snorkeling experience will leave you in awe of the delicate beauty that thrives below the surface of the ocean. From graceful sea turtles gliding past to schools of tropical fish dancing beneath the waves, this snorkeling tour promises an unforgettable exploration of nature’s aquatic wonders.
We begin each tour with an onboard safety and equipment training, to maximize your comfort while in the water. All levels of swimming and snorkeling experience are welcome. The Gulf of Papagayo in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, is a renowned destination for seasonal whale watching, thanks to its prime location along the North Pacific coast. The region’s warm Pacific waters are home to numerous dolphin species year round and also attract various whale species, including humpback whales and pilot whales, during their migrations from the Arctic and Antarctic. With calm, clear waters and favorable weather conditions, the Gulf of Papagayo offers excellent opportunities for whale watching, allowing visitors to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Amberjack Tours will take you on a whale and dolphin encounter experience that you will remember for a lifetime.

Combo - Whales & Dolphins & Snorkel
We saw all that we were promised and more. Our Captain Jimbo was great. He was an excellent Captain and he read the waves well. Denis, our first mate was super. Spoke great English and was really knowledgeable about Costa Rican marine life. We saw whales and even a baby. So many turtles swimming with us. He took us to see adorable little white face monkeys. Snorkeling was average. Lots of fish but sadly the reef is pretty dead much like in most of the world. The trip was wonderful and very memorable thanks really to Denis. Really worthwhile. Highly recommended.

Had a great snorkel morning with Amberjack. Two snorkel sights, loads of information, beverages and fruit and much attention paid to our 13 yr old grandson. Would definitely use them again.
