About Your Trip

Discover the quieter side of Costa Rica's Pacific coast during a private sunset cruise and snorkeling adventure departing from Marina Flamingo. This relaxing three-hour excursion is the perfect way to experience Guanacaste's spectacular coastline, combining scenic cruising, tropical snorkeling, and one of Costa Rica's unforgettable sunsets into a single evening on the water.

Cruising aboard a comfortable 30-foot Shamrock, Ian and his team will take your group along the beautiful coastline, visiting secluded beaches, rocky points, and inviting snorkeling locations selected based on the day's conditions. Spend time swimming over colorful reefs, spotting tropical marine life, or simply relaxing on board with your favorite drink while taking in the incredible scenery. Every outing is private, allowing the crew to tailor the pace of the trip to your group's interests.

The boat offers plenty of space for families, couples, and small groups to spread out and enjoy the ride, with comfortable seating, an air-conditioned cabin, freshwater system, electric restroom, and shaded areas to escape the tropical sun when needed. Throughout the trip you'll enjoy complimentary beer, bottled water, soft drinks, and freshly prepared homemade chips served with pico de gallo and guacamole.

As the afternoon transitions into evening, the Pacific sky comes alive with vibrant colors as the sun sets beyond the horizon, creating an unforgettable backdrop for photos and lasting memories. Guests looking to celebrate a special occasion or elevate the experience can also arrange additional catering through local culinary partners.

Whether you're looking for a family-friendly adventure, a romantic evening on the water, or simply a relaxing way to experience Costa Rica's breathtaking coastline, Ian and his team are dedicated to delivering an authentic Pura Vida experience from the moment you leave the marina until you return at sunset.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
