What to Expect on Your Sunset Sailing Excursion
Your half-day catamaran adventure begins directly on Tamarindo Beach. After boarding, the crew sets sail north along the scenic Gold Coast, taking in sweeping views of dramatic cliffs and volcanic shorelines.
Along the way, keep an eye out for local marine life—dolphins, sea turtles, and seasonal humpback whales are frequently spotted swimming alongside the boat.
Anchor at a Hidden Costa Rican Beach
As the catamaran navigates into a sheltered cove, the captain drops anchor near a tranquil beach that is nearly impossible to reach by land vehicles. This secluded environment creates a tranquil setting for guests to dive in, swim, or grab snorkel gear to check out the underwater reefs.
While you swim, the crew prepares a fresh lunch on board. Re-board at your leisure to enjoy your meal alongside an open bar serving cocktails, cold beer, wine, and tropical juices.
