Private Catamaran Tour Playa del Coco: Homemade Food & Snorkeling

Four and a half hours on the water with homemade meals and secluded snorkeling stops

A fully private catamaran tour in Guanacaste departing from Playa del Coco, with morning (9am–1pm), sunset (2pm–6pm) or full-day (11am–6pm) options. You sail the coastline and Papagayo Bay with stops at secluded beaches and snorkeling spots, while the crew serves fresh homemade food, cocktails and refreshments on board. Every trip is designed for small groups only, with no crowded tours.

The experience

Anna Holala is a private catamaran, meaning you book the boat for your group alone: no strangers, no fixed itinerary that rushes you through stops. The crew prepares fresh cocktails, smoothies and soft drinks on board, along with homemade Mexican and Italian food, fresh fruit and appetizers. Snorkeling equipment is provided, and a crew member offers guidance at the secluded spots where you stop.

You choose the timing that fits your day: a morning cruise from 9am to 1pm, an afternoon and sunset option from 2pm to 6pm, or a full-day experience running 11am to 6pm. The boat departs from the Playa del Coco or Playa Panama area, and pickup is included. Children from age 2 are welcome, and the experience suits all fitness levels.

The difference here is the attention to detail and the absence of a crowd. Unlike tours that move groups through the same stops on a set schedule, every sailing is tailored to the people on board, whether you're marking a birthday, on a romantic getaway, or simply want the best version of a catamaran day without the noise of a larger boat.
