Experience the best of Costa Rica from the water — where pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and warm tropical weather come together.
We will visit some of the most and secluded beaches in the area, including Playa Jícaro, Playa Nacascolo, Playa Las Cuevas, and Playa Nacazcolito. If tide conditions allow, we may also explore the mangrove river for a unique and peaceful escape into nature.
Along the way, you may encounter dolphins, sea turtles, and even whales during the season. For those who wish, light fishing can also be part of the experience.
Designed for comfort and enjoyment, this tour includes snacks and refreshments on board — everything you need for a relaxing and memorable day at sea. NOTA : For the final payment of the tour, if you would like to pay in cash, it would be much better for the captain. However, if you prefer a more convenient option, you can also pay by card; please note that a 13% fee will be added to cover bank charges and government taxes.

Alberto was very responsive and reconfirmed our 3-hour private boat tour via WhatsApp the day before. He picked us up right on the beach in front of our hotel, the Andaz Papagayo. It was the three of us plus Alberto and his helper Israel, who tried some fishing along the way and also joined us in the water while snorkeling to make sure we were safe. Both were great at pointing out sea life: turtles, barracudas, puffer fish and much more. We went all the way into the mangroves and spotted a crocodile. The highlight for us was snorkeling around Monkey Head Island, with tons of fish everywhere. There are definitely currents, so I'd recommend not getting too close to the rocks, and it's probably not ideal if you're not a confident swimmer. While we were snorkeling, Alberto prepared fresh pineapple for us, and we enjoyed a cold beer on the ride back. All in all, an absolute highlight of our Costa Rica trip, and one I highly recommend!
Thank you very much, Marcos. I’m really happy to hear such kind words from you, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed review. It helps me a lot with my page and with the booking and review system. I really hope you come back again. Next time, I’d love to take you to some other places that I know very well. As I mentioned before, I’m a very experienced diver, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to dive because of a problem with my eye. I recently had surgery, so I’m still recovering and I’m not able to dive yet. Hopefully, when you come back, my eye will be fully recovered and I’ll be able to join you in the water. I really enjoy diving, especially in deeper places, and I know those areas very well. Thank you again, Marcos, and thank you to your friends as well. I really appreciate it. Pura vida!
Captain Alberto was so much fun! He took us all over, stayed out longer than the tour to accommodate us and make sure we got to see everything, took us snorkeling and found sea turtles, dolphins, and monkeys! I even had a sea turtle swim right up to me! We brought our 15 month old son with us and he took us over to the monkeys! It was such a good time! Drinks and fruit were included! Thank You Alberto, you gave us an experience we will be talking about as a family for a lifetime!
Thank you so much, Lija, for your wonderful review. I really appreciate your kind words. I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour. I'll also send you the photos I took. There aren't many, but I have some of the three of you together and some with all four of you, so I hope you'll enjoy them. I hope to see you again the next time you visit! If you'd like to book another trip, you can contact me through BoatBooker. Thank you again, and take care
We had the pleasure of spending a beautiful morning with Captain Alberto and Christian in the waters around Costa Rica. We visited 3 beaches, Monkey's Head Island, the caves on Playa Huevos, and snorkelled in clear blue waters. The Captain provided us with drinks and snacks, plus fresh cantaloupe and pineapple between beach hopping. Our personal favourite was Playa Nacascolito; crystal clear waters and a beach heavily populated with hermit crabs and shells. Overall this was a great experience and we would highly recommend Captain Alberto… he was very informative on the boat, and gave us several great recommendations offshore to visit for the remainder of our vacation.
“Tommaso, I was delighted to take you to discover a part of Costa Rica that is my workplace, and which still mesmerizes me with the beauty of the beaches of Papagayo.”
Thank you so much for a fun morning visiting beaches we would have missed and a fun time snorkeling. Boat was beautiful and crew were kind and informative. Can’t wait to return!
Dear Mr. Scott, It was a real pleasure having you on board! I'm so happy to hear that you had a great time. That truly means a lot to me. I hope to welcome you back on another adventure the next time you're in Costa Rica. If possible, please book through BoatBooker next time, and I'll be there ready to take you out again. Thank you so much for choosing my tour. I'll send you some of the photos from our trip, and I'll also post them in the same post so you can keep them as great memories. Take care, and I hope to see you again soon!
We had a wonderful journey & saw so much gorgeous scenery and animals! Thank you so much! Would definitely recommend this to everyone
