Catamaran

Board in Quepos and head out onto the bright blue Pacific to go looking for dolphins, turtles, and whatever else the ocean feels like showing you that day. The catamaran is modern and roomy, so you can actually relax and take in that rainforest-covered Manuel Antonio coastline drifting by, all rock formations, jagged cliffs, and little islands. Your crew will point out the seabirds and fill you in on the history of the area as you go.

The big stop is Biesanz Bay, where you can swim, snorkel, or just fling yourself down the slides into the water. When hunger hits, there's a meal cooked fresh right on board.

Comfortable boat, genuine 5-star service, then an easy cruise back to Quepos marina. Your only job is to sit back and enjoy it. Little ones under 5 come along for almost nothing.
