Pura Vida Watersports is a 2001 custom-made El Coco Panga based in Playa Flamingo, offering intimate ocean experiences for up to 8 guests. Powered by a 115 HP Yamaha outboard engine, the boat reaches cruising speeds up to 25 knots, providing an efficient and smooth ride.

This 26-foot shaded panga is ideal for snorkeling tours, secret beach visits, and sunset or golden hour cruises along the Guanacaste coast. Pangas are known for their stability and comfort, making them a great option for nearshore excursions and guests concerned about motion sickness.

We are a family-run, family-friendly operator welcoming guests of all ages and swimming abilities. We visit beautiful and less crowded locations, offering a more private and relaxed experience compared to larger tour boats.

The Tour Operator, Pura Vida Watersports, specializes in snorkeling tours, sightseeing, and boat & yacht tours.

Onboard, you’ll find all essential safety equipment, including life jackets, GPS, depth finder, radar, sonar, and VHF radio.

Based between Playa Flamingo and Playa Potrero in Guanacaste, we speak English and Spanish fluently.

We require a 50% deposit to confirm bookings (fully refundable if canceled 3+ days in advance). We accept cash (USD, CAD, CRC), Venmo, SINPE, PayPal, Zelle, and major credit cards.

Step aboard and enjoy the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation in Costa Rica’s waters.

Great experience!
4 Hr – Snorkeling & Secret Beaches on July 22, 20266 adults

Our experience with pura vida watersports was wonderful. It was 2 adults, 2 18 year olds and 2 16 year olds. Everyone had a great time. The captain and crew were amazing!! Would definitely recommend using them and would use them again.
