Andaz Papagayo private snorkeling experience…. Sailing, fishing, apddle boarding and more

Glide away from the lush grounds of Andaz Papagayo Resort aboard your own private catamaran or sleek yacht or catamaran, where every detail is customized for your ultimate ocean escape. As the sails catch the gentle Pacific breeze, you’ll leave the resort’s palm-fringed bay behind and set a course for adventure.

Paddle boarding, kayak and fishing

We also include paddle boards, kayaks and fishing ( trolling ) as well as other optional toys, like floating mats, noodles and sometimes trampoline.

First stop: a vibrant reef teeming with life. Slip into the crystal-clear water for snorkeling among schools of neon-striped sergeant majors, graceful parrotfish, and swaying sea fans. Back on deck, grab a paddle board and drift along mangrove-lined inlets, discovering hidden coves that few ever see. Anglers can cast off from the transom—chasing roosterfish, snapper, or even yellowfin tuna—while pelicans hover overhead, looking for their own catch.

Later, your captain will navigate to a secluded white-sand beach accessible only by boat. Here, soft sands meet untouched jungle, and you may spot pods of dolphins frolicking offshore or a green sea turtle gliding serenely through the shallows. A gourmet picnic—fresh ceviche, tropical fruits, and chilled sparkling wine—awaits beneath swaying palms, creating the perfect midday respite.

As afternoon light softens the sky, raise the sails for a leisurely journey back to Andaz Papagayo. Whether you came for heart-racing thrills or peaceful moments at sea, this private charter delivers an unforgettable blend of luxury, wildlife encounters, and the pristine beauty of Guanacaste’s coastline.
