Quepos Catamaran: Manuel Antonio Whale & Snorkel TourYou board a catamaran at Quepos and spend three hours gliding the Manuel Antonio coast, likely spotting whales and dolphins along the way. You snorkel a reef at Biesanz beach with provided equipment, eat a typical lunch on the boat, and return with the whole day still ahead of you. Inclusions cover entry, snorkeling gear, lunch, drinks and fruit—nothing extra to arrange.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see whales and dolphins without arranging transport, snorkeling gear or a meal separately—the catamaran handles all three in one outing, and the 3-hour window fits easily into a day that includes other plans.
Snorkeling in Quepos: Catamaran with Dolphins & LunchSnorkel the waters off Quepos and Manuel Antonio on a 3-hour catamaran ride with a live guide in English or Spanish. You'll watch for dolphins, sea turtles, pelicans and seasonal whales from the boat, then stop to swim and snorkel the reefs. Fresh Costa Rican lunch, natural drinks, fruit snacks and cocktails are prepared onboard; kayaks are available if you want to paddle out. Pickup is included, and the boat is wheelchair accessible.Is it for me?The guide speaks English or Spanish, so you follow the commentary and know when to watch for dolphins or whales. Families with infants and young children can ride—prams and strollers stay onboard, and the boat is wheelchair accessible, which opens the snorkeling to people who might not manage a smaller boat or a beach entry.
Snorkeling in Quepos: Catamaran cruise with marine wildlifeSnorkel Playa Biesanz aboard a catamaran from Marina Pez Vela in Quepos, with hotel pickup, a professional guide, snorkeling gear and a meal included. Choose a morning departure to explore the bay's marine life in calm water, or an afternoon sunset cruise along the Manuel Antonio coastline. The boat carries snacks and natural juices throughout the journey.Is it for me?Book the morning departure if you want to spend time underwater spotting sea turtles and reef fish in clear water; choose the sunset cruise if you'd rather stay on deck, watch the coastline and end the afternoon with dinner as the light fades over the Pacific.
Snorkeling in Manuel Antonio from Quepos: 37-foot catamaranA private catamaran snorkeling cruise departing from Quepos explores the coastline of Manuel Antonio National Park for four hours, with a guide, hotel pickup, snorkeling gear and a grilled fish lunch included. The boat holds up to 12 passengers and sails into open water to spot dolphins, sea turtles and manta rays before anchoring in Biesanz Bay for the snorkel. Dietary needs can be arranged at booking.Is it for me?Book the two-person option if you want an intimate cruise; the three-to-five or six-to-twelve options work for small families or groups who want to share the cost and the boat. All three are private to your party, so the guide's attention and the boat's route stay yours alone.
