If swimming with majestic manta rays or any number of mesmerizing species of turtles is appealing to you, snorkeling in the magical waters of Costa Rica is a must. 

Caño Island, off the coast of Corcovado, is a veritable playground of exotic underwater life.  Other popular destinations include Guanacaste, near Ocotal, and the captivating Tortuga Island. 

Your adventure begins with a cruise to your snorkeling site.  Watch sea birds, jumping fish and splendid rock formations along the way.  With a little luck, you may even see dolphins, whales and sea turtles too.  Depending on the region, you will have the opportunity to explore unspoiled white sand beaches with interesting flora and fauna, and  view mysterious islands.

After feasting your senses and enjoying the tranquility of sailing the pristine waters, the boat glides into a beautiful, protected area so you and your group can go for a swim.  Your bilingual guides and naturalists will help you discover the fascinating underwater domain, or rather, the underwater Costa Rican playground of tropical fish and exotic marine life.  While snorkeling, you will see a vast array of tropical fish, oysters, octopi, and more.  As you frolic and enjoy the secluded snorkeling and picturesque scenery, your crew will prepare a savory meal of fresh local produce, great bocas, tropical fruits, and a terrific selection of refreshments.  This is nature at its best!

Ranging anywhere from two hours to a full day, snorkeling tours are fun, safe, unforgettable adventures in nature.  All equipment and safety training are included with your tour.  We work with the most experienced, reputable Costa Rica snorkeling companies in the country, selecting one or two operations in each region.  Your fun, informative, bilingual naturalist guide will work hard to make sure your Costa Rica snorkeling adventure is a safe and memorable one.
